The R5+ Robot from AutoStore answers to the call from Asia Pacific businesses for enhanced energy efficiencies; the latest in the R5 series, launched in February last year by AutoStore.
In AutoStore’s 2022 State of the Market Industry survey, 24 per cent of businesses in the region cited rising energy costs as a major challenge while a further 34 per cent cited labour challenges as a key hurdle.
Addressing these concerns, the R5+ Robot travels across a warehouse grid at speeds of three metres per second, easily handling 650 bin presentations every hour, and carrying large 425 mm-high bins with ease. This is the R5+ Red Line Robot – the latest in the R5 series, launched in February last year by AutoStore.
It features class-leading energy efficiency: Ten R5 Robots use less energy than the average vacuum cleaner.
Aside from being energy efficient, the robots are designed to optimise the retrieval and delivery of items, enabling reduced picking times. The R5 Robot has demonstrated its efficacy in a wide variety of warehouse settings, accurately picking, sorting, and retrieving items with speed.
The R5+ Robots present the market with a formidable solution, as they work around the clock and are energy efficient, supporting high throughput as they complete tasks faster than manual labourers.
