The FollowMe concept by owlRobotics provides an innovative solution for material flow in warehouses and production environments.
In the warehouse, required parts are picked and loaded directly into the containers of a FollowMe unit that autonomously follows the employee. This eliminates the need to manually pull or push transport carts, while keeping both hands freefor the actual picking process.
After several material units have been prepared, multiple FollowMe vehicles can be arranged into a convoy.
This convoy can then be guided through the production area by just one employee and delivered to the required assembly stations.
In the future, this material supply process is planned to be handled fully autonomously by the robots.
At the assembly line, the FollowMe units are positioned exactly where the material is needed.
The robot can continue to follow the operator directly – a major advantage especially in large production areas where unnecessary walking distances would otherwise consume time.
This creates clear benefits:
- One employee can supply multiple workstations at the same time
- Several FollowMe units automatically move in convoy
- Reduced walking distances and lower labor effort
- Material available directly at the line or assembly station
- Flexible supply without fixed conveyor systems
- Scalable for different production sizes
In short:
One employee controls the material flow – the FollowMe convoy handles the transport.
