FAQ / Quick Answers
Before you automate, ask the right questions about your workflow, your site, and what it takes to deploy AMRs successfully.
An Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) moves materials through your facility with minimal manual intervention. Using sensors, software, and digital maps, it navigates between destinations, detects obstacles, and adapts to changing routes and traffic.
AMRs move totes, boxes, carts, racks, components, and clinical supplies between storage areas, workstations, production lines, and departments. They handle repeatable tasks such as point-to-point delivery, scheduled missions, and pick-and-drop workflows. With the right system design, they can also connect with fleet-management software, WMS, MES and ERP systems, as well as automatic doors and lifts.
SESTO starts with the workflow and not the robot. We assess the payload, routes, handoff points, site conditions, safety and system interfaces before defining the right AMR solution.
An AMR is usually a good fit when your operation involves frequent, repeatable material movement between defined pick-up and drop-off points. It works best when loads are stable, routes have sufficient clearance and the task does not require constant manual intervention.
Before recommending an AMR solution, SESTO looks at:
Safe deployment depends on workflow design and a site-specific risk assessment. SESTO maps the process from pick-up to delivery, then designs the AMR solution around the operation and not the other way around.
There is no fixed price for implementing AMRs. The total investment depends on the complete automation system, including the robots, charging stations, load-handling equipment, fleet-management software, site assessment, workflow design, system integration, testing and support.
The main cost drivers include:
SESTO first maps your material flow, transfer frequency, destinations, and operating conditions before defining the fleet and implementation scope. This ensures the estimate reflects your actual workflow and not just the price of a standalone robot.
Our sales team can provide a tailored estimate and explain the cost breakdown, project scope, and next steps based on your site requirements.
