Fives GENI-Ant AMR Sorter Review Summary
Robot sorters trade the fixed loop of a crossbelt sorter for a fleet of small vehicles that carry each item to its chute. GENI-Ant does this with robots that each have two flat cross-belts, optionally with an edge to hold rolling items, which suits odd-shaped, fragile and small non-conveyable items. The robots charge dynamically while they move, so there are no spare robots or charging stations. Installation needs little infrastructure, on a floor or mezzanine, and Fives says a system can run in less than six months. Capacity grows by adding robots, and the whole system can move to another building. Throughput and payload are only in the brochure.
Pros
No charging stations
Little infrastructure
Scalable and relocatable

Who It Is For
