MIR: Efficient Automation, Collaborative Innovation

Unveiling the MiR1200 Pallet Jack 

In the quest for efficiency and competitiveness, modern businesses acknowledge the pivotal role of automation in their operations. Yet, it’s not just about automation alone; the focus is on effective automation. Companies are in search of smart solutions that streamline processes while seamlessly integrating with the workforce, enhancing human capabilities, and capable of making intelligent decisions akin to humans. This harmonious blend of automation and human collaboration is essential for attaining peak productivity and operational excellence. In this vein, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack shines as an emblem of innovation, providing intelligent solutions that work efficiently alongside human counterparts, revolutionizing material handling operations in industrial settings.

6 Features of the MiR1200 Pallet Jack that Redefine Material Handling

AI-Based Pallet Detection System

Conventional AMR pallet jacks frequently face constraints in detecting pallets, resulting in transportation delays and missed picks. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack’s AI-driven pallet detection system surmounts these hurdles by swiftly and accurately identifying pallets, even if they’re covered in stretch wrap or positioned incorrectly. This system continuously updates its path planner during operation, guaranteeing dependable performance and minimizing pick failures. Customers enjoy steady throughput, shortened pick-and-place durations, and decreased operating expenses.

Industrial Design Built for Real-World Applications

Many AMR pallet jacks struggle to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, leading to unforeseen repair costs and operational disruptions. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack’s industrial-grade components and rugged design ensure reliability in challenging conditions. With an IP52 rating, it navigates through diverse environments with minimal downtime and maintenance, offering a solution for varied conditions, surfaces, and obstacles while minimizing total cost of ownership. 

3D Object Detection for Comprehensive Environment Awareness

In dynamic industrial environments, many AMRs often face challenges navigating through cluttered spaces. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack utilizes 3D object detection to efficiently navigate through obstacles, reducing the risk of equipment and product damage. By recognizing and avoiding obstacles around and up to the full height of the robot, it is able to analyze it surroundings while navigating and when placing pallets, it avoids forks from other manual vehicles, ensuring time savings, enhanced quality, and improved safety in complex environments. 

Manual Tiller for Enhanced Interactivity and Accessibility

Many companies have limited personnel allocated to work with automation equipment, which can result in downtime and reduced acceptance of automated solutions. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack addresses this challenge with a Manual Tiller for semi-automated handling, allowing a wider range of personnel to interact with the robot, as they can move it manually, just like traditional pallet jacks. This means no more waiting for an automation engineer to come back from breaks and minimized downtime in case of issues. This feature promotes increased sense of ownership among employees, improves confidence, and boosts morale, ensuring smoother operation and greater acceptance of automation solutions. 

Seamless Integration with MiR Fleet for Enhanced Efficiency

Integration into existing systems is crucial for maximizing operational efficiency. The MiR1200 Pallet Jack seamlessly integrates with MiR Fleet, facilitating synchronized operation and optimized traffic management between the MiR1200 Pallet Jack and the range of other MiR robots. This integration extends to Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), ensuring streamlined communication between systems. With its ability to seamlessly integrate into existing systems, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack enhances overall productivity in industrial environments, offering fully automated solutions. 

Advanced Safety Features for Peace of Mind

Safety is paramount in industrial environments, and most companies are looking to replace their traditional injury-prone forklifts and trucks with safer solutions. Like the rest of MiR’s extensive range of AMR’s, the MiR1200 Pallet Jack prioritizes safety with advanced 360-degree safety features. Compliant with ISO3691-4:2023 standards, this intelligent robot ensures a safe working environment for employees. With its comprehensive safety measures, including obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and emergency stop capabilities, the MiR1200 provides peace of mind while enhancing operational efficiency.
