The Next Generation of Automation
Automation technologies have changed the way manufacturing and service tasks are carried out today, offering lower production costs and an increase in quality. Mass-production industries like the automotive and pharmaceutical fields have particularly benefitted from this technology. The most impressive examples are manipulators that can handle cars or conveyor belts that can reliably and efficiently transport objects over long distances in a short period of time.
However, the usage of current automation technologies involves high initialization costs and low flexibility, two factors that limit their applicability to repetitive processes with high quantities. In the current market, where production cycles are getting shorter and all products and services are subject to a strong pricing pressure, a new kind of automation technology is necessary.
MetraLabs Automation, Inc. provides this new kind of automation technology based on freely navigating autonomous mobile robots. Our systems have the ability to drive to any position within their operational environment and to execute their tasks without human direction. Our automation technology can guide humans through public buildings, they collect information about the environment, or they handle and transport objects. Based on the extremely low installation and operational costs, as well as the high reliability and flexibility of our systems, we can automate repetitive tasks as well as ad-hoc tasks; even in markets that have not been in the main focus of automation technologies like healthcare or agriculture.
