Seegrid Elevates AMR Safety with Advanced, Layered Obstruction Detection

Seegrid Corporation’s autonomous Tow Tractor, Lift RS1 and Lift CR1 will now feature a robust, layered safety system that sets a new benchmark for AMR performance and reliability in modern, dynamic industrial environments.

Both autonomous lift trucks are equipped with a combination of strategically positioned 2D and 3D LiDAR sensors, enabling them to continuously scan and assess their environments for potential obstructions. This advanced safety suite ensures comprehensive detection within a 3D volume encompassing the vehicle and its payload—throughout the entire travel path.

“Our customers demand dependable autonomous solutions that can safely navigate complex workflows and changing environments,” says CTO of Seegrid, Tom Panzarella. “The Lift RS1 and CR1 demonstrate our commitment to exceeding industry safety standards, delivering unmatched protection, performance, and peace of mind.”

Key takeaways:

·        This multi-layered sensor system exceeds the ANSI B56.5 safety standard for guided industrial vehicles. By intelligently identifying and responding to obstructions—whether static or dynamic—Seegrid AMRs enhance both operational safety and uptime in our customer’s mission-critical material handling operations.

·        This feature ensures precise and obstruction-free placement of payloads, minimizing the risk of collisions with infrastructure or misplaced goods, commonly caused by manual operators.
