Muller Technology, a factory automation supplier, is set to debut custom mobile robotic systems at NPE2024 in Orlando, FL, from May 6 to 10. The new Mobile Manipulators (MoMas) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) offered by Muller aim to enhance traditional downstream automation by allowing for continuous operation 24/7 while decreasing OSHA recordable events.
Muller’s Group CEO Carsten Eisenkrämer emphasized the company’s commitment to innovation, providing advanced solutions to address the challenges faced by the manufacturing industry. With their latest product line and service offerings, Muller aims to empower plastics manufacturers to achieve higher levels of efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
The MoMa represents a combination of an AMR and a cobot, equipped with a vision-based end-of-arm tool. These MoMas are capable of operating in cleanrooms for microprocessor production, providing automation beyond basic transportation of goods. With the ability to pick up items from shelves, assemble components, place delicate objects, and carry empty or full boxes or pallets, the MoMa can execute repetitive assembly processes and transport goods to warehouses or trucks with ease.
For plastics processors, Muller acts as a comprehensive automation solution provider, offering services from the mold to case packers and end-of-line logistics. Muller has partnered with AMR manufacturer Omron and serves as an Omron Certified Systems Integrator, integrating AMRs and MoMas into turnkey automation operations at its facilities in Colorado and Switzerland.
In a recent project involving AMRs led by Muller, 23 employees were promoted to higher-level roles within their operation, demonstrating the positive impact of automation on plant efficiency and cost reduction. Attendees can visit Muller at Booth S12171 during NPE2024 at the Orange County Convention Center to learn more about their cutting-edge automation solutions.
