Automatic coupler module
Module providing Versabot with programmatic coupling capabilities – payload pickup and release is controlled by process logic. Its primary use is the towing of mobile platforms and trolleys between designated destinations. Standardized coupling interface allows for towing various types of trolleys or carts (e.g. pallet trolleys, gitterboxes or kanban carts) with a single unit.
How does the automatic coupling module work?
A mobile robot equipped with an automatic coupling module can autonomously approach a transport cart, connect to it, and begin executing the transport task. Once the destination is reached, the robot automatically disconnects the cart and proceeds to the next assignment.
The coupling process is controlled by fleet management software and process logic, enabling full synchronization between material transport and production or warehouse operations.
As a result, a single robot can handle multiple carts and perform dynamic logistics tasks throughout the facility, maximizing system flexibility and efficiency.
Key benefits
Automatic coupling and decoupling
The robot autonomously picks up and drops off transport carts without operator intervention, enabling fully automated material handling.
Support for multiple cart types
A standardized coupling interface allows the robot to work with a variety of load carriers, providing greater flexibility across different applications.
Flexible logistics processes
A single robot can serve multiple transport routes and handle numerous pick-up and delivery points, supporting dynamic and changing production requirements.
System scalability
The solution can be easily expanded with additional robots or transport carts, allowing the intralogistics system to grow alongside operational needs.
Example processes and applications
The use of VERSABOT mobile robots equipped with an automatic coupling module significantly increases the flexibility of internal transport within production facilities and warehouses. The robots can autonomously pick up and drop off transport carts, executing tasks in line with current process demands and real-time operational needs.
Automated pallet transport with pallet roller handling
The VERSABOT equipped with an automatic coupling module enables the towing of a pallet cart that supports loading and unloading processes on pallet roller systems. Thanks to full automation, the robot can autonomously pick up, transport, and drop off carts, ensuring a smooth and safe flow of materials between production or warehouse stations.
The system synchronizes the movements of the robot and the cart, enabling precise load positioning while improving the efficiency and repeatability of transport operations.
Autonomous transport of kanban and gitterbox carts
The VERSABOT equipped with an automatic coupling module enables the towing of Kanban or Gitterbox carts, providing fully autonomous transport of materials and components within production facilities and warehouses.
Thanks to the automatic coupling system, the robot can independently approach a cart, connect to it, and move it between workstations. The control system synchronizes the movements of the robot and the cart, ensuring safe, precise, and repeatable transport operations without operator intervention.
