Product Information

The Omni Automation DC Docking Conveyor is a fixed mount powered roller conveyor that can be installed in a facility to automatically receive cargo and accept cargo from a TMRC top module conveyor mounted on a MiR 100 or MiR 200 mobile robot. These conveyors can be installed at workstations throughout a facility to automatically transition product, materials, supplies, parts or good from a fixed conveyor platform to a mobile robot. These can be used in Manufacturing Facilities, Institutions and Warehouses. When the mobile robot with a conveyor top module arrives at a destination with a DC Docking conveyor the two conveyors will communicate over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to signal the transfer of cargo from one conveyor to the others. Sensors on these conveyors signal the MiR robot to continue on its mission once the cargo is successfully received or discharged. Using additional sensors, the DC Docking Conveyor can be programed to discharge or receive multiple loads when docked with a mobile robot. Customer sensors and devices, such as pushbuttons, flashing light beacons, and photo eyes can be wired to the DC Docking Conveyor to signal the system to perform specific tasks such as calling for a robot to retrieve cargo or to indicate the receipt of cargo.

Datasheet

  • Automatically receives and sends goods between fixed & mobile conveyor systems.
  • Works with TMRC top module on MiR 100 & 200 robots for flexible material movement
  • Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity ensures smooth data exchange between conveyors and robots.
  • Monitors cargo transfer, sends signals to robots, and integrates with additional sensors for automated loading/unloading.
  • Integrates with external devices (pushbuttons, lights, etc.) for tailored workflow triggers
