eBook: Simple Automation with AMR 

This eBook provides a well?structured introduction to automation using autonomous mobile robots (AMR). It outlines the technical and organizational prerequisites, typical challenges, and the potential of mobile robotics in intralogistics and production environments. A particular focus is placed on comparing different transport solutions—from manual handling and conveyor systems to forklifts, automated guided vehicles (AGV) and autonomous mobile robots. Their respective strengths and limitations are clearly highlighted, offering a solid basis for informed decision?making in internal material transport.

• AMR Fundamentals: Overview of the key hardware and software components of autonomous mobile robots
• Prerequisites: Requirements related to processes, layout, interfaces, and safety
• Comparison of Transport Solutions: Manual processes, conveyor technology, forklifts, AGV, and AMR in direct comparison
• Decision Support: Criteria for selecting suitable transport solutions for different application scenarios
