Multiway Robotics offers Material Handling Robots
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Shenzhen, China
Collaborate with the startup for Automated Warehouse Robots
Multiway Robotics is a Chinese startup that develops AGVs for material handling. The startup’s forklift and tugger robots use computer vision for navigation and high-level stacking. This, in turn, allows manufacturing companies to optimize on-site logistics and production line interconnection. The startup’s AGVs also automate palletizing, docking, and truck loading for intralogistics operations. These processes otherwise require manual labor and are time-intensive. Multiway Robotics’ solutions enable companies to minimize labor requirements and floor accidents while optimizing material handling.
enermove advances AGV Charging
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Turin, Italy
Partner with enermove for Dynamic Wireless Charging
enermove is an Italian startup that enables wireless charging for automatic guided vehicles. The startup leverages magnetic coupling between a transmitter on the ground and a receiver on the machine. The AGVs move through a charging lane with power electronics laid under the floor, thus enabling continuous dynamic wireless charging. Besides, enermove’s solution does not occupy massive floor spaces and is integrable into existing AGV systems. This allows floor managers to mitigate AGV downtimes due to replacement or reload operations frequent in conventional charging systems.
1 Degree Freedom (1DF) Robotics develops Smart Actuation Systems
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Bengaluru, India
Innovate with 1DF Robotics for Automated Navigation Systems
Indian startup 1DF Robotics provides modular smart actuation systems for AGVs. The startup offers motors, gearboxes, drivers, controllers, and communication systems required for robot mobility. Moreover, the solution is a plug-and-play module that is easily controllable through its proprietary application programming interface (API). Robot developers usually spend a great deal of time developing actuation systems. The startup’s modular smart actuation systems allow AGV developers to mitigate this step and tailor the robot for specific use cases, speeding up product development.
Skalar Systems enables Live AGV Monitoring
Founding Year: 2018
Location: Graz, Austria
Partner with Skalar Systems for AGV Anomaly Detection
Skalar Systems is an Austrian startup that offers VARO, a software solution to monitor AGVs. The startup’s AI-powered solution analyzes data points generated by AGVs, networked sensors, and machines. VARO then visualizes the manufacturing processes and automates anomaly detection. Besides, it enables predictive maintenance for AGVs and other production assets. This allows manufacturers to promptly identify anomalies and use historic data to predict machine failures, reducing quality deviations and unplanned downtime.
QingTong Technology develops Visual Navigation Systems
Founding Year: 2018
Location: Beijing, China
Reach out to QingTong Technology for Unmanned Forklifts
Chinese startup QingTong Technology provides visual navigation systems for forklifts. The startup’s computer vision-based solution utilizes panoramic cameras that observe sky and ground conditions to achieve high precision. This enables environmental modeling which further improves navigation at large factories and warehouses. QingTong Technology allows floor managers to integrate automated navigation systems into forklifts without massive capital investments.
