AMR Robots Enable Precision Logistics in Medical Manufacturing Environments

 

High-Standard Logistics Requirements in Medical Manufacturing

In medical device and medical electronics manufacturing, production environments demand far higher levels of stability, traceability, and safety than general manufacturing. Raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished goods move frequently between processes, and any disruption in delivery rhythm can affect not only efficiency but also quality control compliance.

During a production upgrade phase, a medical manufacturing plant in Shenzhen identified internal logistics as a key breakthrough point to elevate its overall manufacturing standards.

Challenges of Multi-Floor and Multi-Type Material Handling

The factory’s workshops and warehouses are distributed across multiple floors, handling a wide variety of materials, including standard material boxes and full rack systems. Traditional manual handling relied heavily on carts and personnel, resulting in unstable efficiency, slow cross-floor coordination, and limited responsiveness to urgent production needs.

To address these issues, the factory introduced Reeman AMR transport robots from the Spaceship Series to systematically restructure logistics workflows between the warehouse and production lines.

Standardized Rack Handling with Minimal Site Modification

The Reeman Spaceship AMR has a rated load capacity of 300 kg and supports rack lifting up to 10 cm, allowing it to directly interface with common material racks and turnover frames without additional facility modifications.

After receiving a task, the robot autonomously completes pickup, lifting, transportation, and precise docking, significantly reducing manual involvement and standardizing logistics operations.

Safe Operation in Human-Robot Mixed Environments

In the complex human-machine mixed environment of a medical factory, Reeman AMR robots rely on autonomous navigation and multi-sensor perception to detect and avoid personnel, equipment, and temporary obstacles in real time.

This flexible obstacle avoidance capability enables stable operation without disrupting existing workflows, ensuring logistics processes remain safe, controlled, and compliant with medical manufacturing standards.

Cross-Floor Delivery Through Autonomous Elevator Integration

To support the factory’s multi-floor production layout, Reeman Spaceship AMR robots also handle cross-floor logistics tasks. The robots autonomously use elevators to switch floors, enabling direct point-to-point delivery between warehouses and different production lines.

This capability opens up vertical logistics channels within the facility, significantly reducing the time, labor intensity, and safety risks associated with manual cross-floor transport.

On-Demand Dispatch Aligned with Production Rhythm

Production line staff can initiate delivery requests through a remote one-click system, allowing robots to be dispatched flexibly based on real-time production needs. Material delivery is no longer constrained by fixed schedules or personnel availability, enabling true on-demand logistics that stabilize production rhythm.

Building a Replicable Automated Logistics System

As multiple Reeman Spaceship AMR robots are deployed, the factory’s internal logistics gradually form an efficient and replicable automated system. Warehouse-to-line transport becomes more orderly, logistics efficiency and stability improve simultaneously, and the factory gains stronger support for quality management and capacity expansion.

Avoid Costly Mistakes: How to Choose the Right AMR Chassis from 4 Proven Types

Image
  As automated material handling and unmanned logistics continue to gain traction, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are being widely adopted in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and retail environments. But before launching an AMR project, there’s one key technical decision you can’t overlook:   Which type of AMR chassis is best for your application? In this article, we’ll break down the  four most common AMR base types , comparing their structures, advantages, limitations, and use cases to help you choose the right foundation for your mobile robot. 1. Differential Drive Chassis How It Works: This chassis uses two powered wheels and one or two passive caster wheels. Directional movement is controlled by adjusting the speed of the two drive wheels. Pros: Simple mechanical design, low cost Mature, easy-to-implement control algorithms Ideal for light-duty, small-scale AMR projects Cons: Large turning radius, poor maneuverability in tight spaces Limited traction and ground ada...

How Autonomous Forklifts Navigate Multi-Floor Warehouses

As warehouses grow more vertical to maximize space, one major challenge emerges in automation: 👉 How can autonomous forklifts operate across multiple floors, including elevators and stairwells? Unlike traditional single-floor logistics, multi-story warehouse automation demands more than mobility—it requires intelligence, adaptability, and seamless coordination. This is where AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) forklifts come into play. 1. The Multi-Floor Navigation Challenge In older buildings or dense urban areas, vertical expansion is often the only viable option. But with it comes a unique set of challenges: Many elevators are manually operated or lack smart interfaces. Corridors can be narrow, and floor heights inconsistent. Wireless signal coverage is often patchy across floors. Each floor may follow different workflows or handling protocols. Without proper integration, even the most advanced robot can become stuck—literally—in an elevator shaft. 2. How AMR Forklifts Ov...
