Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)
The increasing popularity of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) is based on the adaptability of the technology by removing any hassle of adjusting physical barriers. BPS Logistics Technology is the authorised dealer of AMR. They are a perfect way to automate facilities in most industries, especially for repetitive and/or dangerous tasks, and are safer to use than traditional forklifts.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) Dramatically Improve Warehouse Productivity
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are a groundbreaking technology transforming the warehousing and logistics industry. This innovative solution not only significantly boosts operational efficiency but also helps businesses reduce labour costs while creating a safer, more efficient working environment. AMRs can operate flexibly in both indoor and outdoor spaces, making them ideal for tackling the challenges of dense shelving and restricted goods movement in Hong Kong warehouses.
As an authorised distributor of AMRs, BPS Logistics Technology recognises the immense potential of this technology across various industries, particularly in repetitive or high-risk tasks. We believe that adopting AMRs is one of the best choices for achieving facility automation. Compared to traditional forklifts, AMRs not only operate more safely but also significantly enhance work efficiency, bringing revolutionary changes to modern warehouse management.
What are Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)?
Autonomous Mobile Robots are intelligent, automated vehicles that independently transport goods within warehouses, logistics centres, and factories. These robots are equipped with dynamic route optimisation software and advanced sensors, allowing them to navigate safely and avoid personnel and obstacles.
The operation of Autonomous Mobile Robots is based on three core principles:
- Goods-to-Person:
In this mode, operators are stationed at fixed picking stations, and Autonomous Mobile Robots bring target shelves to the stations. This greatly reduces personnel movement within the warehouse, improving efficiency and safety. - Picking Robots:
Goods are stored on movable shelves, and Autonomous Mobile Robots equipped with robotic arms can accurately identify and transport specified shelves. This method significantly enhances picking accuracy and speed. - Backstage Control System:
The system handles dynamic optimisation of storage locations, robot scheduling, and order sorting. This transforms the entire warehouse into a self-adjusting intelligent system, continuously optimising operational processes and improving overall efficiency.
Why Invest in Autonomous Mobile Robot Technology?
BPS Logistics Technology's Autonomous Mobile Robots can seamlessly integrate into various operational environments, flexibly handling different types of goods and significantly enhancing warehouse management efficiency.
The introduction of AMR technology opens up endless possibilities for the warehousing industry and other sectors. Even deploying a single robot can significantly reduce goods handling time within the warehouse or achieve production goals more efficiently.
This innovative technology represents the future trend of the industry, realising human-machine collaboration in shared workspaces while ensuring the highest safety standards and minimising accident risks.

Applications of Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)
From inventory management to shipping and delivery, autonomous mobile robots have various applications that can streamline warehouse operations and logistics, including:
Transporting Pallets
Trolley Towing
Support For Roller Conveyors
Inventory Management
Industries Utilising Autonomous Mobile Robot Solutions
Logistics
Transport goods across large areas and able to navigate busy warehouse environments.
Pharmaceutical
Streamline supply delivery and transport of medical supplies without human contact.
E-commerce
Efficient order fulfilment, assist in picking and sorting, and scale operations.
The operating principle based on the following three criteria:
1. Goods-to-Person:
Operators stay in the fixed picking station, robots carry the target shelf to the station automatically.
2. Picking Robots:
Goods are stored in the movable shelves, and robots identify and transport the assigned shelves.
3. Backstage Control System:
Dynamic optimization of storage location, robot scheduling, and order processing, make the warehouse a self-adaptive system.
These autonomous systems include picking systems, moving systems and sorting systems. AMR provides clients with benefits of a high return on investment, better space utilization with multi-directional movement, and flexible navigation.
