Mobile Industrial Robots A/S (MiR) launched the MiR1200 Pallet Jack autonomous mobile robot (AMR), complete with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) pallet detection, powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, to identify pallets and do pick up and pallet delivery with unprecedented precision.
“The MiR1200 Pallet Jack is our latest effort to push the boundaries in autonomous material handling,” says Mads Paulin, VP of R&D at MiR, “We believe that the built-in AI detection system is a significant improvement over older detection technologies. Our approach will reduce pick-and-place cycle times, deliver best-in-class pick accuracy and allow us to continuously deliver advanced, AI-based functionality and value to our customers.”
Key takeaways:
- Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing MiR AMR fleets and interoperate with MiR’s deck load AMRs, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack is a perfect match for large-scale enterprise customers who typically operate more complex workflows with larger fleets and multiple sites.
- The MiR1200 Pallet Jack can dynamically modify its route to avoid obstacles such as loose objects on the floor or overhead obstacles. It processes a large number of cameras and LiDAR data in real time by accelerating the full stack on the GPU and several other processors built into the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack’s ability to navigate effortlessly in tight spaces with minimal changes to the existing infrastructure makes it the perfect fit for optimizing logistics efficiency and ensuring timely delivery of pallets.
- Other features include trained on 1.2 million-plus real and synthetic images for fast and precise pallet detection; a charging ratio of 1:14, making it ideal for 24/7 workflows; complies with the latest product standards for AMR products, including ISO 3691-4, ensuring safety in various environments; IP 52 rating and comes equipped with rugged wheels for enhanced mobility.
“As the latest addition to MiR’s wide range of AMRs, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack adds a new application area to our existing solutions for transportation scenarios from small to heavy loads, pallet transportation, and more,” said Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of MiR. “All robots can be seamlessly managed and integrated via our industry leading fleet management tool, MiR Fleet, and monitored and optimized using MiR Insights.”
