The MP1000R

Autonomous Transport System Offers Safe, Compact Solution

Aug. 17, 2022
Bosch Rexroth's MP1000R is an ideal replacement for manual forklifts and tuggers.

The MP1000R is a flexible and scalable solution which can replace manual forklifts and tuggers in manufacturing spaces, leading to improved efficiency and helping protect workers from potential injury. By using the ROKIT Locator Software, the MP1000R is able to navigate autonomously in highly dynamic environments without additional infrastructure.

When used for industrial material handling tasks, forklifts and tuggers are often involved in thousands of warehouse accidents each year, some of which can be fatal. The MP1000R can safely and autonomously transport finished goods, raw material components and work in process on pallets or shelves within the factory or warehouse, with flexibility similar to human-operated pallet jacks, forklifts or tuggers. Its compact size and zero turning radius make it ideal for operating in tight spaces or down to aisle widths of 1,400 mm (55 in.).

Its fully loaded moving speed of 1.5 meters per second makes it perfect for moving pallets and shelves between warehouses or automatic storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to production areas or shipping docks. Its location accuracy of ±10 mm enables materials feeding to the production line, work-in-progress (WIP) transfer and finished goods transport.
