The paradigm shift towards advanced intralogistics is significantly driven by the adoption of mobile robots, notably Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). While greenfield implementations allow for optimal infrastructure design from inception, integrating these sophisticated technologies into existing, often complex, brownfield warehouse environments presents unique engineering challenges. This article provides a technical exploration of the methodologies, considerations, and solutions for achieving seamless integration, focusing on aspects critical for engineers and specialists.
From initial technical audits to seamless software orchestration, integrating AGVs and AMRs into existing infrastructures requires more than hardware compatibility — it demands a structured, engineering-driven methodology.
