Automate new jobs.
The higher payload capacity allows customers to automate new tasks that were not previously possible, such as the transport of pallet-size loads, engine blocks, and other heavy goods and equipment. The HD-1500 can also automate tasks that are traditionally completed with forklifts, reducing the risk of injury.
The most customizable mobile solution for your factory.
OMRON allows customers more options in terms of customizing a mobile solution, which now includes incorporating the HD-1500, giving customers more choice in developing a customized automated solution. The HD-1500 can be used to create a solution that best meets the needs of every manufacturer. The HD-1500 also takes advantage of OMRON’s ability to customize the fleet with accessories that improve performance, such as HAPS and LiDAR. With the Fleet Manager, OMRON mobile fleets can be more diverse and still be controlled through the same system, allowing for a completely automated solution.

Heavy-duy autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) like the Omron HD-1500 are quickly becoming the gold standard for automating pallet transport in warehouses and distribution centers. Capable of moving payloads through dynamic and peopled encironments using onboard mapping software, AMRs provide the ultimate in flexibility and scalability.
When logistics facilities start considering an AMR solution, a common question that arises is how to get the pallets onto the robots. It turns out that there are three methods for doing this, and each has its own advantages relative to the constraints of a particular warehouse infrastructure. Let's take a look at each of these in turn.

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has not only blurred the lines between OT and IT disciplines, but also led to the increasing prevalence of large-scale and highly distributed applications where field devices are dispersed over a wide area and need to communicate directly with remote servers.
This means that where your data is going to and from, how you manage all your different devices, and how you keep your data safe matter even more than before. In this article, we provide three expert tips you should keep in mind for selecting device connectivity solutions that can meet the demanding requirements of large-scale and highly distributed IIoT applications in our connected world.
