Solution 03 — Factory & Manufacturing Sites

Material flow and floor care for production sites

WIP movement, rack dispatching, and production-floor cleaning — including textile-grade debris — run by robots that share the floor safely with your staff.

Problem → Answer

What factory operators bring us — and what we deploy

/01 WIP transfer interrupts production takt AMR-0300 and AMR-0300R lifting robots move racks and WIP between stations on schedules aligned to your takt time.
/02 Heavy pallets need forklift labor AMR-0600 and AMR-0600R carry up to 600 kg on repeatable routes with precise docking.
/03 Thread and cloth scraps defeat normal vacuums The ACR-0670 high-suction robot is tuned for fabric strips, thread, fibre and lightweight production waste.
/04 Wide production floors take hours to scrub ACR-0600 and ACR-0800 scrubbers run driverless routes at up to 2,160 and 4,000 m²/h between shifts.

The solution stack

WIP transfer AMR-0300 / 0300R Latent lifting and rack movement. Heavy transfer AMR-0600 / 0600R 600 kg payload industrial delivery. Debris cleaning ACR-0670 High-suction robot for textile debris. Floor scrubbing ACR-0600 / ACR-0800 Driverless large-area scrubbing.

Model comparison

Robots matched to production-floor tasks

Factories need two things from robots: material that arrives on time and floors that stay safe to work on. The table pairs each task with the model we would normally propose first.

Combustible-dust areas need a separate assessment before any cleaning robot is specified; see our warehouse robot vacuum guide.

Deployment path

From takt time to robot routes

Factory projects start from the production plan, not from the robot. We size the fleet against your takt time and shift pattern, then design routes that stay clear of manual handling zones.

01

Flow study

Share station layout, takt time, load types and weights, and which moves are currently done by forklift or trolley.

02

Fleet sizing

We model trips per hour per route and propose robot count, charging points and buffer racks.

03

Floor-care plan

Separate wet scrubbing from dry debris pickup; textile and electronics plants usually need different machines for each.

04

Integration

Connect AMR dispatch to MES or call buttons; set no-go zones around presses, ovens and manual workstations.

05

Pilot and expand

Prove one line or one hall, record interventions per shift, then add lines.

Use cases

Where factories deploy robots first

These jobs are repetitive, happen every shift, and are easy to measure before and after.

Line-side kitting

AMR-0300 tray or conveyor versions bring kits to assembly lines on a fixed loop.

WIP between processes

Underride AMRs move WIP racks between SMT, test and packing without forklifts.

Finished-goods transfer

AMR-0600 carries finished pallets to the warehouse on a scheduled route.

Garment-plant floors

ACR-0670 collects cut pieces, thread and fluff that clog ordinary vacuums.

Shift-change scrubbing

ACR-0600 scrubs between shifts and returns to its dock without an operator.

Multi-floor plants

AMR-0300 supports elevator control and e-door access, so one robot can serve production lines on several floors.

Sizing checklist

What we need to plan a factory deployment

Send these details with your enquiry and the first proposal will already reflect your floor, not a generic layout.

Takt time and shift pattern

How often each line needs material, and when the floor is free for cleaning.

Load list

Each load type with weight, dimensions and carrier: bins, kits, racks, trolleys or pallets.

Route constraints

Aisle widths, doors, ramps, lifts and areas robots must avoid, such as presses, ovens and manual workstations.

Debris type

Dust, metal chips, fabric scraps, oil or water. Dry debris and wet soil usually need different machines.

Floor finish

Epoxy, sealed concrete or tiles, and any expansion joints or drainage channels on the cleaning route.

Integration points

MES events, call buttons, elevators and fire-door interlocks that the robots must respect.

FAQ

Factory solution questions

Which robot cleans up thread and fabric scraps?

The ACR-0670. It has a 670 mm working width, 500–800 m²/h capacity and a 16 L dust box that covers about 4,000 m² per fill of fabric strips, cut pieces, thread, hair, fibres and cotton wadding.

Can AMRs connect to our MES?

Yes. Dispatch can be triggered by MES events or call buttons, and AMR-0600 supports the VDA5050 protocol for mixed fleets. We agree the interface during integration planning.

What payloads can your AMRs carry?

300 kg for the AMR-0300 (400 kg in the towing version) and AMR-0300R, and 600 kg for the AMR-0600 and AMR-0600R.

Can robots work on a live production floor?

Yes, with defined routes, speed zones and no-go areas around machinery. AMRs detect people and obstacles with LiDAR and cameras, and the AMR-0300 is built to ISO 3691-4.

Can a cleaning robot run between shifts without staff?

The ACR-0600 docks itself to charge, refill, drain, dose detergent and clean its tank, so it can scrub between shifts unattended once routes are set.

Can robots be private-labelled for our distribution?

Yes. PanPanTech supports OEM and ODM programs, including private-label model codes, neutral datasheets and packaging support. See Manufacturing and Partners for program terms.
