Autonomous logistics

Autonomous logistics with AMR, AGV and MoMa

Efficient internal logistics are the backbone of operational excellence, whether in hospitals, industrial production, or warehousing. Automation offers a transformative solution that enhances productivity, reduces costs, and ensures seamless workflows.  

At AFRY, we specialise in supplying and integrating advanced technologies like Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and Mobile Manipulators (MoMas) to meet the unique challenges of modern logistics.

Our expertise in logistics automation enables organisations to optimise internal processes, improve safety, and adapt to an ever-evolving landscape. Whether managing critical supplies in healthcare, streamlining production lines in industry, or maximising storage efficiency in warehouses, we deliver future-ready solutions tailored to your needs.

Our focus

Automation in logistics is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity for organisations aiming to stay competitive. Here's how automation can redefine your operations:

Autonomous logistics in hospitals

In hospitals, automation transforms how resources are managed, ensuring medical supplies, samples, and equipment reaches critical areas promptly and efficiently. By automating routine logistics tasks, healthcare professionals can dedicate more time to patient care, while AMRs equipped with advanced hygiene features ensure a high standard of cleanliness during transport.

Autonomous logistics in industrial applications

In industrial applications, automation streamlines production processes by automating material handling for just-in-time delivery to assembly lines. AGVs provide reliable transport, reducing downtime in demanding industrial environments. As production demands change, flexible automation systems make it easy to scale operations without major overhauls.

Autonomous logistics in warehousing

In warehousing, automation optimises space utilisation by deploying MoMas and AMRs to navigate complex storage layouts with precision. The picking, packing, and shipping processes become faster and more accurate, reducing errors and enhancing overall operational efficiency. Cost savings are realised by minimising labour-intensive tasks while achieving greater output and throughput.

By implementing automation solutions across these sectors, organisations can achieve greater productivity, safety, and adaptability in their logistics operations.
