Small parts and tools delivery with Real-Time Status

SESTO autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is deployed to automate the transport of small components, tools, and fixtures between workstations and assembly areas within a high-mix manufacturing environment.
The AMR ensures that every part arrives exactly when it’s needed by keeping production flow continuous and downtime minimal.

Challenges
  • Frequent, manual transfers: Operators needed to move small-lot parts and tools between multiple lines and workstations, consuming time and disrupting production rhythm. 
  • Human-error risk: Misplaced or delayed deliveries led to bottlenecks and traceability issues across the production chain.
  • Space constraints: Narrow aisles and shared human-robot zones required a compact, safe mobility solution capable of smooth navigation and precise positioning.
Solutions
  • Automated missions: Tasks are generated and confirmed automatically through the fleet management system.
  • Operator scan-ins: Optional validation at key handoffs provides accountability for critical transfers.
  • Integrated systems: Connects seamlessly with ERP, MES, or eKanban for real-time replenishment and delivery updates.
  • Compact design: Navigates tight aisles safely with 360° awareness and precision movement.
  • Full traceability: Every delivery is logged from pickup to drop-off, supporting audits and continuous improvement.
Outcome
  • Higher productivity: Operators spend less time on material transfers and more time on skilled tasks.
  • Consistent flow: Automated missions keep small parts and tools moving without interruption or delay.
  • Live visibility: Supervisors can monitor every delivery in real time through mission dashboards.
  • Improved accuracy: Automated confirmations and scan-ins minimize delivery errors and misplaced parts.
  • Scalable operations: The same fleet logic can be expanded to new lines, shifts, or product families without reprogramming.
