Milvus Robotics yesterday introduced the SEIT F1500S, a stacker-type fork autonomous mobile robot, or AMR. The company said it engineered the system to facilitate material handling within dynamic manufacturing and warehousing environments.
“The SEIT F1500S provides true autonomy to warehouse and industrial environments where aisles are busy and workflows change constantly, offering an immediately deployable path toward fully autonomous material handling,” said Samil Ozden, the CEO of Milvus.
The Ankara, Turkey-based company said the SEIT F1500S can replace manual, error-prone workflows with a safer, more predictable, and fully autonomous system. Milvus designed the AMR for fast deployment and high-mix production environments.
The robot has a 3,500 lb. (1,500 kg) payload capacity to heights of 8.8 ft. (2.7 m). Milvus said it has the speed to complement its strength. The AMR can navigate narrow aisles and busy corridors and perform high-accuracy cycles without requiring fixed infrastructure such as floor markers or magnetic tape.
Established in 2011, Milvus designs and develops its robotics hardware, software, and fleet management systems in-house, enabling high levels of integration, customization, and operational reliability. The company said its SEIT AMR family and Fleet Manager software help organizations automate material flow, increase workplace safety, and optimize production and warehouse performance.
Today, Milvus Robotics operates globally, with robots deployed in more than 20 countries and a growing presence across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.
SEIT F1500S has an advanced perception architecture
The F1500S is designed for complex, flexible tasks, including automated floor-to-shelf or shelf-to-floor transfers. It ensures reliable pickup, transport, and precise positioning within warehouse systems for ground pick pallet types, asserted Milvus Robotics.
The company also claimed that the system is versatile, capable of handling custom load formats and specialized load carriers to easily integrate with diverse operational needs.
The SEIT F1500S is built upon advanced technological pillars that prioritize both safety and operational efficiency, noted Milvus. It features spherical 3D perception architecture and lidar-camera fusion technology that precisely detects pallet types, position, and condition with high precision.
Milvus designs system for accuracy and safety
The system can identify subtle misalignment or structural variations, enabling consistent, high-accuracy cycles despite pallet variability or human-driven workflow operations, said Milvus.
To further elevate safety, a dedicated fork sensor monitors the space behind the load in real time, detecting objects or human movement before each approach and lift. This additional layer of safety ensures controlled handling and reduces the risks traditionally associated with manual forklift operations.
