At MJ Flood Robotics, in partnership with HIKROBOT, our mission is to drive innovation by seamlessly integrating robotics into business operations across Ireland. Our wide range of HIKROBOT solutions, combined with advanced software, are designed to eliminate failure points, streamline manual processes, and enable digital transformation, resulting in significant improvements in fulfilment, throughput and capacity management.
Our range of robotics solutions offers the adaptability required for enhanced task performance and navigation, resulting in peak warehouse productivity. For instance, our Latent Mobile Robots (LMR) are engineered with optimised motion performance and enhanced safety features, embodying the principles of an Adaptive, Scalable, and Responsive system. These robots operate in a coordinated swarm, with their future paths and locations precisely planned down to the second.
A typical MJ Flood Robotics solution comprises one or two kinds of specialised robots that collaborate to enhance goods-to-person processes in warehouse settings. The FMR (Forklift Mobile Robot) efficiently handles high shelving, while the LMR (Latent Mobile Robot) excels in rapid movement, with each robot assigned tasks that match their strengths. Together, they seamlessly transport bins between workstations and shelves, continually enhancing inventory management.
Our user-friendly robotic systems, powered by advanced software and cutting-edge technology, are deployed in a variety of scenarios worldwide, delivering the benefits of automated workflows to fulfilment warehouses and manufacturing environments. With over 500,000 HIKROBOT solutions in use globally, our technology is trusted across multiple industries, including:
Warehouse automation streamlines the movement of inventory into, within, and out of warehouses with minimal human intervention. As part of our automation initiatives, MJ Flood focus on eliminating labour-intensive tasks that require repetitive physical effort and manual data entry or analysis. By integrating robots and human workers, our HIKROBOTs can efficiently handle repetitive tasks, reducing the risk of fatigue and injury. This approach allows employees to be upskilled and take on more critical and challenging duties.
The LMR (Latent Mobile Robot) features a specialised lifting mechanism designed for optimised motion performance and enhanced safety. This robot helps customers create a safer working environment while also boosting cost-effective productivity.
The FMR (Forklift Mobile Robot) is specifically engineered to streamline the automatic transfer of standard bins and pallets in industrial and warehouse environments. This advanced robot leverages high-precision laser SLAM (Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping) navigation, vision-based navigation and a suite of other cutting-edge technologies to ensure precise and reliable operations.
One of the key attributes of the FMR is its exceptional stability, which allows it to handle loads with great accuracy and minimal risk of tipping or misalignment. The robot’s self-adaptation capabilities enable it to adjust seamlessly to varying conditions within the warehouse, such as changes in floor surfaces, varying load weights, and dynamic obstacles.
The FMR is designed with efficiency at its core, optimising its movements to reduce energy consumption and speed up the transfer process. Its ability to operate autonomously and with high precision minimises the need for human intervention, thereby reducing labour costs and increasing overall productivity. This combination of high stability, adaptability and efficiency makes the FMR an indispensable asset for modern automated logistics and material handling operations.
The HIKROBOT CMR/HMR (Conveyor/Heavy-duty Mobile Robot) series stands out for its advanced self-developed lifting components, meticulously designed to handle the demands of automatic docking across diverse operational scenarios. These robots are engineered to integrate seamlessly with various automated systems, optimising both efficiency and flexibility in industrial settings.
The Conveyor & Transmission Series within the CMR/HMR lineup is specifically optimised to support complex docking requirements. Whether interfacing with machines, transmission lines or tooling mechanisms, these robots are equipped to fulfil a broad range of automated production needs. This capability ensures that material handling processes are streamlined, reducing manual intervention and enhancing overall workflow efficiency.
The CMR/HMR robots feature enhanced obstacle avoidance systems, ensuring they navigate around obstacles with minimal disruption. Their advanced positioning technology allows for accurate material placement and transfer, contributing to the reliability and consistency of automated operations.
Key Benefits:
The HIKROBOT Charging Station RA-CH-48/30B is designed for the intelligent charging of mobile robot battery packs, specifically for 48V/30AH batteries.
Key features include:
The core of HIKROBOT’s software platform is built upon two key systems: the iWMS 1000 (Intelligent Warehouse Management System) and the RCS 2000 (Robotic Control System). The iWMS 1000 integrates seamlessly with upper-level systems, delivering intelligent warehouse management with high efficiency and cost-effectiveness. While the RCS 2000 is responsible for creating map models and managing robot dispatch. Together, these systems provide a comprehensive linkage throughout the entire logistics process, ensuring smooth connections across various transfer scenarios.
Based on the Goods-to-Person concept, the iWMS 1000 coordinates the entire fleet of mobile robots via the RCS 2000 and interfaces with ERP, MES, and OMS systems. This integration offers a unified solution for warehousing and logistics operations.
Through data mining, the system analyses and forecasts task generation times, allowing it to position idle mobile robots at task points in advance, thereby enhancing overall logistics efficiency. By analysing historical data, it can estimate picking times at workstations, adjust queue strategies, and reduce task waiting periods. The system also evaluates route congestion and workstation status to manage handling priorities and achieve balanced task loads.
The RCS 2000 interfaces seamlessly with WMS, MES, ERP and other systems, offering standard interfaces for various warehousing and transfer scenarios. It supports integration with automatic doors, PLCs, elevators, conveyor systems and other external equipment, providing high compatibility and scalability to meet diverse operational needs.
