AMRs available for multiple applications
At ProMAT Booth N6719 in Chicago’s McCormick Place, ForwardX plans to exhibit its most advanced AMRs.
Flex 600-LS: Precision and flexibility in motion
The Flex 600-LS is built for high-speed e-commerce and manufacturing environments, according to ForwardX. It has a lifting function that can handle payloads up to 600 kg (1,322 lb.) and a thinner design for improved adaptability to various container types.
The Flex 600-LS meets the requirements of high turnover of picking containers in picking process, reducing the number of personnel involved, the company said.
Apex C1500-L: ForwardX looks to the future of autonomous forklifts
The Apex C1500-L is designed for smooth warehouse integration, supporting various pallet types, ground transportation, and racking operations, claimed ForwardX. Using Laser SLAM+ Computer Vision Integration navigation, the automated forklift can enhance safety and precision in complex warehouse environments, it added.
Max 1500-L: Performance for heavy-duty case picking
Designed for heavier case-picking and pallet-movement workflows, this robot has a 1,500 kg (3,306 lb.) payload, intelligent navigation, and precision docking for smooth material handling, said the company.
Lynx O1500: Optimized for automotive logistics
Addressing key challenges in automotive manufacturing, Lynx O1500 offers bidirectional towing capabilities and supports up to 1,500 kg (3,306.9 lb.) payloads. Engineered for stability and efficiency, it can handle specialized material racks in automotive factories, ensuring smooth and reliable intralogistics operations.
Flex 300-SCB: Compact for narrow-aisle efficiency
“With its ultra-compact design and advanced flexibility, the Flex 300-SCB excels in navigating tight spaces with ease,” said ForwardX. “It features an intuitive touchscreen for enhanced user interaction and control.”
The AMR is equipped with a built-in light strip to assist with picking tasks and serve as a visual reminder, improving operational efficiency. Optional add-ons include a printer and barcode scanner, making the robot suitable for warehouse picking and sorting operations.
ForwardX continues expanding deployments
Whether it’s small-scale logistics or large-scale manufacturing, ForwardX Robotics said its range of innovative AMRs serve a wide array of industries, including third-party logistics (3PL), e-commerce, retail, and healthcare. The company also offers the f(x) fleet management software to help businesses achieve higher performance and value within their supply chain operations.
ForwardX said it has deployed more 3,000 AMRs in over 150 facilities across four continents. With offices in the U.S., Japan, Korea, and China, along with partnerships around the globe, the company asserted that it is expanding and applying its systems to empower the workforce of tomorrow.
