OMRON Mobile Robot technology and software explained
Higher flexibility & lower cost
Heavy duty transport
Mixed fleet management
Mobile Robot Navigation and Alignment
Alignment Positioning Systems
Cell Alignment Positioning System (CAPS)
CAPS technology utilizes any compatible laser to detect a customizable target in the environment and enables the AMR to drive to the required location with unrivalled precision.
- OMRON’s mobile robots can dock to a machine or cart with high accuracy.
- It can also approach from any angle so that you do not need to worry about floor layout or shape of the payload.
- CAPS aligns OMRON’s AMRs with machinery and carts at up to +-8mm and +-0.5degree repeatability for individual robots and +-12mm fleet-wide.
- Enables a smoother and quicker loading & unloading of material, contributing to a shorter cycle time.
- CAPS provides application flexibility by enabling customizable laser and target selection.

- HAPS aligns our mobile robots with machinery at ±10mm position accuracy and ±0,5° rotation accuracy.
- It ensures that the robot will follow a fixed path, even backwards and with angles.
Selectable Autonomy
Enables users to tailor traffic flow with powerful path modes, ranging from autonomous guided vehicle (AGV)—but without the costly infrastructure—to limited detour windows, to the pure flexibility of a traditional AMR. The range of path modes reduces navigation exceptions even in narrow locations, maximizing cycle time with consistent, comfortable operation.
- Cycle time improvement up to 15% for actual fleets. Improvement can be greater, depending on application.
- Fewer deadlocks in doorways and narrow spaces.
- Fewer traffic control devices needed in map.
- Improved safety for human operators working in the same area due to more consistent motion of Mobile Robots.
- AGV predictability with the flexible obstacle handling of an AMR when space allows.

Mobile IO Box
The OMRON Mobile I/O Box is an I/O device that can be used to summon an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to a designated location by just pressing a button. It can also be used as an External Digital I/O for the control of hard-wired devices that are associated with AMR related actions like opening a door for an AMR to pass through or turning on a signal to tell the AMR has arrived.
- Quick and easy to set up AMR applications in factories and warehouses.
- LCD screen displays status of AMR and Mobile I/O Box for ease of operation.
- 6 Inputs and 6 Outputs so that one Mobile I/O Box can be used to perform call function and other I/O functions simultaneously.

Fleet Management
- Transport Request (Job) Allocation: distributes jobs across multiple mobile robots by selecting the best-suited vehicle to perform them
- Traffic control: optimizes traffic flow of vehicles
- Communications: single point of contact for integration with factory systems (MES, WMS, ERP, etc.)
- Configuration Management: manages system parameters across the fleet of vehicles
- Manage Fleets up to 100 robots
- Simulate up to 10 robots
- Secure control and data interfaces for faster installation and increased intelligence. RESTful, SQL, RabbitMQ.
- Hybrid Fleet Management
- Fleet Operations Workspace iQ: Enhances the core user experience with powerful data collection and analytics through an intuitive user interface
