Palion Tow Tractor This line of autonomous mobile robots (AMR) from Seegrid Corp. has been in operation since 2006, and over the years has logged more than 5 million autonomous miles for a variety of companies. They can automatically hitch and unhitch from payloads and can learn new routes by having a human drive them.
What’s new? Palion Tow Tractor Series 8, which was announced in June. Series 8 comes with enhanced Smart Path technology.
Benefits Safe, efficient transport of materials and goods. Seegrid’s Smart Path technology uses algorithms to combine sensor data with its computer vision system, including a laser scanner, 3-D LiDAR sensors and a rear-facing sensor, to let its AMRs safely navigate through high-traffic facilities. The Series 8 AMR can handle a maximum load of 10,000 pounds. The Palion Series 8 AMR also frees workers to focus on higher-value tasks.
