AMRs 101: Introduction to Autonomous Mobile Robots

AMRs 101 Webinar Landing Page

Discover how autonomous mobile robots help manufacturers and logistics teams move materials more efficiently, reduce bottlenecks, and free up staff for higher-value work.

Materials still move through most facilities the way they always have: on forklifts, tuggers or fixed routes, guided by whoever is available. It works, but it can also create waiting, inconsistent replenishment and extra pressure on teams that are already stretched thin. 

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are self-navigating mobile robots that move materials inside facilities without fixed routes. This session introduces AMRs in plain terms: what they are, how they differ from older automated transport, and where manufacturing and logistics teams are using them today. 

You'll walk through common first use cases, line-side delivery, pallet movement, cart transport, and replenishment, and leave with a practical way to spot where automation could remove friction in your own operation.

What you'll learn

By the end of the session, you'll have practical takeaways on:

  • What an AMR is and how it works

  • How AMRs differs from forklifts, conveyors, and older automated guided vehicles (AGVs)

  • Common applications: line-side delivery, pallet movement, cart transport, replenishment 

  • What a good first use case looks like (and what makes one harder to justify)

  • Key questions to ask before starting an AMR project

This session is for operations, logistics, warehouse and manufacturing teams starting to look at automation for internal transport. No AMR experience required.
