Conveyco aims to simplify AMR implementation

Conveyco (Booth S418) is helping companies determine the best path to a successful autonomous mobile robot (AMR) implementation with its AMR RightFIT Program.


Conveyco (Booth S418) is helping companies determine the best path to a successful autonomous mobile robot (AMR) implementation with its AMR RightFIT Program. The seven-step methodology analyzes different AMR manufacturers, models and styles available against a company’s specific business model, performance KPIs and financial requirements to determine their exact “RightFIT.”

By following the methodology, a deep dive data analysis helps determine material flow, eliminating bottlenecks, capacity and labor issues. Having a wide range of AMR models to select from makes it easier to mix and match to amplify system performance. Likewise, implementing the right warehouse execution system (WES) to manage every AMR manufacturer creates one high performing system, assuring system success and the efficient use of resources.

“Organizations that implement AMR technology without having a holistic vision often create black boxes and islands of automation within their facility, not to mention missing software functionality not provided by their AMR manufacturer or WMS,” said Ed Romaine, Conveyco’s VP of marketing and business development. “By implementing the AMR RightFIT Program, an organization sees all of its options and gets the performance worth paying for.”

The Conveyco RightFIT seven steps include:
• A deep dive data analysis,
• Design KPI objectives,
• Alternative analysis,
• Business case review,
• A clear path to success,
• A precise execution roadmap, and
• Lifecycle nexus, which looks at the short, medium and long-term success of the system and total operation.

“Finding, designing and implementing the most efficient automation solution is what separates a good system from the system that sets benchmark KPIs,” adds Romaine. “Understanding the correct systems, software, upstream and downstream flows are critical, but the rewards are dramatic.” 

ProMat 2023 was held March 20-23 at Chicago’s McCormick Place. The tradeshow showcases the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
