Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an AMR and an AGV?
AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) follow fixed paths using magnetic strips, wires, or tracks. AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) use SLAM, LiDAR, and AI to navigate dynamically without infrastructure modifications. AMRs are more flexible but typically cost more.
How much does an AMR cost?
AMR prices range from $15,000 for basic transport models to $80,000+ for heavy-payload or specialized AMRs. Chinese manufacturers like Geekplus, Quicktron, and ForwardX offer competitive pricing starting around $15,000-$25,000 per unit.
How many AMRs do I need for my warehouse?
The number depends on your throughput requirements, warehouse size, and workflow. A typical small warehouse (5,000 sqm) might need 5-15 AMRs, while large fulfillment centers deploy 100-1,000+ units. Most vendors offer fleet simulation tools.
