The Adept Lynx is self navigating Autonomous Indoor Vehicle (AIV) designed for dynamically moving material in challenging environments that may include confined passageways as well as dynamic and peopled locations. Unlike traditional autonomously guided vehicles (AGVs), Lynx requires no facility modifications, such as floor magnets or navigational beacons, saving users up to 15% in deployment costs. Lynx includes Adept’s proprietary software and controls allowing it to intelligently navigate around people and unplanned obstacles, that render traditional AGVs incapacitated and it can be programmed and functional within a day. Designed for developers, integrators, and end-users the system can be customized for a variety applications and payloads. Manufacturing, warehousing, clean tech, and laboratories are just a few environments ideal for Lynx.
The Adept Lynx™ Conveyor combines a Lynx autonomous indoor vehicle (AIV) with a motorized conveyor platform, producing a highly versatile mobile robot designed to receive, transport and deliver materials or goods throughout warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing environments. The on-board intelligence of the vehicle eliminates the need for additional infrastructure such as tracks, reflectors or magnets. It moves nimbly within narrow aisles and operates safely alongside people.
As an alternative to fixed conveyors, the Lynx Conveyor offers flexibility to existing work environments where material flow changes periodically. It also dramatically reduces manual transport tasks, shortens turnaround time, enables “lean” workflow processes and increases operational efficiency by redeploying personnel to higher value-add tasks.
The Adept Courier is an intelligent mobile transporter that combines a high payload autonomous platform with an onboard controller and software for map generation and vehicle guidance. Material transports are initiated from a wireless call box located at operator stations and dispatched using pre-programmed destination buttons located on the vehicle.
The Courier, with its wireless communication capability and payload compartment, can be used for applications in logistics, warehouse, offices, biotech, and manufacturing facilities. The Adept Courier reduces or eliminates manual transport tasks, shortens turnaround time, and increases operational efficiency by re-applying expensive labor from moving goods to higher-value tasks.
The Adept Lynx Handler-Semi combines a Lynx autonomous indoor vehicle (AIV) with a collaborative 4-axis robot to produce a highly versatile mobile robot designed to pick, place and move semiconductor waferpods throughout a wafer fab. It is designed to exchange wafer pods from a variety of processing equipment, stockers and storage (WIP) racks, and operates collaboratively within a fleet of Lynx vehicles.
The on-board intelligence of the vehicle eliminates the need for additional infrastructure such as tracks, reflectors or magnets. It moves nimbly within narrow aisles and operates safely alongside people. The Lynx Semi Handler improves production yield by eliminating humangenerated dust particles and by following instructions from the fab production software system, ensuring no errors in the physical handling of or the identification of wafer pods.
The Adept Lynx Transporter-Semi combines a Lynx autonomous indoor vehicle (AIV) with a multi waferpod carrier configured to move wafer pods throughout a semiconductor fab. It is designed to safely transport up to four wafer pods in a dynamic cleanroom environment while operating safely and collaboratively alongside people.
The on-board intelligence of the vehicle eliminates the need for additional infrastructure such as tracks, reflectors or magnets. The Lynx Semi Transporter improves production yield by eliminating humangenerated dust particles and by following instructions from the fab production software system, ensuring no errors in the location of wafer pods. It enables implementation of lean methodologies in the workflow and allows redeployment of a limited labor pool to higher value-add.
Adept MobilePlanner is a PC-based software tool to plan mobile robot applications through building maps and instant floor plans. Laser-guided mobile robots can scan up to 1,000 sq.ft. per min to create maps capturing all its natural features, and send it to a PC wirelessly. The resulting map can be customized with virtual routes and forbidden lines for safe operations.
Assign tasks, goals, schedule routes, stitch maps, and program sensors, cameras & tools using the built-in route builder. The software also deploys maps wirelessly through the entire fleet of mobile robots.
Adept MobileEyes is a PC-based software tool to manage an entire system of mobile robot applications. The software acts as an eye for the mobile robot showcasing the actual navigation on the map with location-tracking. The user-friendly interface helps to configure and control a complete fleet of mobile robots and tools.
The software allows you to deploy and configure mobile robot applications through building routes, programming sequences, setting goals, scheduling goals, and choosing various configurations to synchronize the entire system. The software also teaches and calibrates the mobile robots for the specific applications.
