Every facility has motion that never stops. Boxes to move. Tools to return. Components to restock. Those tasks matter, but they take people away from more valuable work. That is why the igus® mobile robot platform exists. It handles repetitive transport quietly and reliably, using maintenance-free motion plastics and one intuitive software interface. Simple to set up, easy to adapt, and designed to keep production moving without interruption. Learn how one platform can keep your production moving: ReBeLMove: https://bit.ly/4qUebHq #igus #AMR #Automation #Intralogistics
