Innovating intralogistics: autonomous and collaborative robots powered by mobile robot expertINTERNAL LOGISTICS | CASE STUDY Schneider Electric Challenge Solution Impact At Schneider Electric, manual “milk run” material handling created ergonomic risks, consumed operator time and limited scalability in high volume production, driving the need for fully automated, end to end last mile material movement.The solution integrates collaborative robots and AMRs orchestrated through Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure mobile robot expert, connected with Kanban and warehouse management systems (WMS) systems for real-time material movement data. AMRs dynamically adapt to shopfloor conditions while a Lexium Cobot – a collaborative robotic arm equipped with a servo-controlled gripper – mimics operator actions to automatically lift, transfer and place heavy boxes across multiple locations. An AI-based vision system enables precise pick and place of heavy boxes. The integrated EcoStruxure software ecosystem enables centralized control, interoperability and real-time monitoring.The solution automated end-to-end material handling, delivering: –100% elimination of ergonomic risks. –15% improvement in warehouse path efficiency because of intelligent traffic coordination. –4% increase in manpower productivity.
