Heavy component delivery
X600 and X15T robots carry engines, axles, battery packs and stamped assemblies from storage to production cells, removing the heaviest and highest-risk manual handling from the shop floor.
Application ?Automotive Material Handling Robots
Autonomous material flow for Automotive & Auto Parts.
Move components safely and predictably between storage, line-side stations and production cells.
The operating challenge
Keep material moving as operations change.
Large, varied components and synchronized production require stable transport without interrupting takt time.
Line-side replenishment
Sequenced and kitted parts arrive at assembly stations in step with the build schedule, supporting just-in-sequence supply without dedicated tow-train drivers.
WIP transfer
Sub-assemblies move between welding, machining and assembly areas on stable platforms rated for uneven industrial floors, keeping inter-process flow steady across a large plant.
Empty-container return
Robots close the loop by returning empty racks, dunnage and containers to staging areas ?the low-value trips that otherwise consume operator and forklift time every shift.
Deployment & safety
Built to run inside a live operation.
Deployment is phased around production: mapping and route validation run during planned downtime, and workflows go live line by line without stopping output.
The fleet coordinates with plant systems through open APIs and VDA5050, so parts calls follow the vehicle sequence rather than manual requests.
LiDAR-based obstacle detection and configurable speed zones let heavy-payload robots operate safely in aisles shared with people, tuggers and forklifts.

Common questions about automotive material handling robots deployments.
Can automotive material handling robots carry a full engine or battery pack?
Yes ?the X600 handles medium-heavy components up to 600 kg, and the fork-style X15T moves palletized loads up to 1500 kg, covering most powertrain, chassis and battery transport tasks in an automotive plant.
How do AMRs support just-in-sequence delivery?
Transport orders are generated from the production sequence via the plant's systems, and the fleet software dispatches robots so kits arrive at the station in build order. Priority rules protect sequence-critical deliveries during traffic peaks.
Will robots interrupt takt if one stops on a route?
The fleet re-routes other robots around a stopped unit and re-assigns its task to the nearest available robot. Sizing the fleet with modest headroom keeps line-side buffers supplied even during exceptions.
