ABB is a leading global technology company that has recently launched its first range of rebranded Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) following its acquisition of mobile robot leader ASTI Mobile Robotics in 2021. The rebranded ASTI autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are launched as ABB Flexley integrated into ABB Robotics business. The company’s goal is to increase productivity by optimizing competitiveness, flexibility, and time to market. The Flexleyâ„¢ name is meant to indicate the flexibility of operations that the AMRs offer. The first models to be released, Flexley Tug and Flexley Mover, cover applications including towing, trolley transportation up-to 2000kg, as well as lifting and transporting racks, containers, and pallets of 1,500kg. ABB is transforming AMR performance with the launch of Visual SLAM technology. This unique technology opens new possibilities for flexible manufacturing – AI that makes ABB’s AMRs as autonomous as its robotic arms, while making work more productive and safer for people.
