From manual AMR Triggers to Vision-AI driven autonomous flow.
ConnectedThinks AMR Orchestration improves operator efficiency, ensuring raw materials, finished goods, and empty carts are all ready in time.
Challenge
At a Kroschu manufacturing facility, Multiple pickup zones required AMR missions based on different conditions - packed boxes ready for dispatch, raw material shortages at production lines, or special carts needing refills. Additionally, missions could only be triggered when the payloads are correctly
positioned and oriented to ensure reliable AMR pickup.
Solution
Kroshu implemented a Vision AI–powered AMR Orchestration solution that adds intelligence on top of the existing AMR fleet. Pickup and dropoff locations were configured with rule-based logic tailored to each station. The vision system detects events such as ready-to-ship items placed in the correct configuration, visibility and orientation of empty pallet carts after packaging material consumption, or trolleys requesting specific items via visual symbols. Based on these events, the system automatically triggers the appropriate AMR missions by interacting directly with the fleet manager.
This removes manual intervention, improves intralogistics efficiency, and reduces delays across production stations. In addition, the solution provides operational visibility, including mission readiness, trigger timestamps, and analytics on mission volumes with daily, monthly, and yearly breakdowns.
Results
-
Increased AMR Utilization & Throughput:
-
Real-time visibility of pallet, box, and cart status enables immediate and accurate mission triggering.
-
Reduced AMR idle time results in higher material flow and improved throughput across production areas.
-
-
Optimized & Automated Mission Generation
-
Vision-derived payload details allow intelligent AMR selection and shortest path mission planning.
-
Automated mission triggering eliminates manual scans, button presses, and operator involvement.
-
-
Flexible and dynamic process adaptation
-
Vision-driven logic adapts quickly to layout changes, stacking variations, or temporary obstructions.
-
No hard-coded logic or physical infrastructure changes are required for process updates.
-
-
Scalable Automation Using Existing Assets
-
Static camera-based sensing is more cost-effective and easier to maintain than AMR-mounted vision systems.
-
Scaling to additional AMRs or zones requires only new cameras and software licenses, extending the ROI of the current fleet.
