Less than a decade ago, the idea of fully autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) interacting seamlessly with human employees in warehouses and production facilities seemed a futuristic vision. 

As fleets of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) grow, so does the demand for software tools to optimise performance and fleet management.

FORVIA has increased its logistics productivity, strengthened stability of production processes and decreased safety risks with a fleet of robots from Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). The return of investment (ROI) from the 14 autonomous mobile robots (AMR) working in the Faurecia Clean Mobility plant in Písek, Czech Republic, was less than two years.

Under the Mobile Industrial Robot (MiR) name and led by Walter Vahey, the two Teradyne companies become a single supplier of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), accelerating technology development and market leadership worldwide.

Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) hasannounced the appointment of Søren E. Nielsen as the new president of the Denmark-based company. Effective August 1st, Nielsen, who has served as MiR’s chief technology officer since January 2018, will take over the responsibilities of MiR co-founder and CEO Thomas Visti.

Mobile Industrial Robots has launched its new mobile robot leasing program. Often referred to as ‘robots as a service’ (RaaS), leasing lets companies of any size, from small start-ups to multinational enterprises, deploy mobile robot solutions with low (or no) upfront costs and low monthly payments. This lowers financial barriers for investing in AMRs and gives customers a near immediate return on investment (ROI).

A collaboration has been announced by Mobile Industrial Robots, with Faurecia, to deploy AMRs in manufacturing plants worldwide to take the company’s automation to a new level. Faurecia has investigated and tested different solutions for automating its inhouse transportation for years in order to optimise productivity and internal workflows and hereby gain competitive advantages.

It has been announced that Mobile Industrial Robots, has achieved a second year of 300% revenue growth in 2018, a target the company established after accomplishing the same growth rate in 2017. The company’s success results, in large part, from MIR’s multinational customers, including Toyota Motor Corporation that is investing in fleets of mobile robots to optimise internal logistics and to gain competitive advantages in the producti...
