Logistics as the Backbone of High-Speed Automotive Manufacturing
In large automotive parts manufacturing plants, production lines typically operate with high product variety and frequent changeovers. Although individual components may be small, the number of SKUs is large and delivery frequency is high. Any logistics delay can directly disrupt assembly line stability.
Traditional methods based on manual carts or forklifts gradually reveal efficiency limits under such high-intensity operations, becoming a bottleneck to production rhythm.
Deploying AMRs for High-Frequency Line-Side Delivery
As part of its smart manufacturing upgrade, this automotive parts factory introduced Reeman Big Dog AMR robots to handle small-batch, high-frequency material delivery between the warehouse and production lines.
With a payload capacity of 100 kg, Big Dog AMRs support standard bins, racks, and tooling, becoming the most reliable “logistics execution units” on the shop floor.
Autonomous Navigation Without Infrastructure Changes
In daily operation, Reeman Big Dog AMRs rely on autonomous navigation to plan routes without requiring floor modifications or guide rails. They move flexibly throughout complex factory environments.
When encountering dynamic situations such as pedestrian traffic or forklift crossings, the robots detect and avoid obstacles in real time, ensuring uninterrupted operation. Integration with automatic doors enables seamless cross-zone movement, making end-to-end unmanned logistics a reality.
Cross-Floor Delivery for Multi-Story Facilities
For factories with multi-story layouts, Big Dog AMRs can integrate with elevator systems to travel autonomously between floors. This enables direct point-to-point delivery between warehouses and multiple production lines.
Line-side workers simply initiate a delivery through a one-click remote call, significantly reducing coordination effort and improving response speed.
High Reliability with a Highly Competitive Cost Structure
Most importantly, this highly reliable transport system comes with a remarkably controlled investment cost. A single Reeman Big Dog AMR costs roughly the equivalent of two smartphones, yet operates reliably year-round.
Supported by Reeman’s annual shipment scale of tens of thousands of robots, and deployments across multiple countries and regions, the Big Dog AMR has been thoroughly validated for efficiency, stability, and long-term performance.
