Having newly arrived on our shores, the Carrybot is described as a flexible, versatile, space, cost-saving and driverless transport system (DTS), otherwise known as ‘Herbie’ , which is perfect for any size company.

Herbie stops in a designated place, picks up your goods and takes them where it’s told to, delivering them with ease and reliability – be it workstations, conveyors, automated processers, or trucks.

The robots are designed to transport goods around the factory, depot, or warehouse which until now, has mostly been done with forklifts and trolleys.

Being easy to use and program makes Herbie a simple and smart addition to your business, integrating easily with existing material handling systems.

It can reverse and turn on the spot thanks to a differential drive and it has a ‘safe person detection system’ where other manufacturers work with physical bumpers and not with secure scanner technology. Herbie will stop with space.

There are five models to choose from, the Conveyor, Carrier, Trolley, Palette and Pick & Place. Each with a different purpose, designed suit your needs.

These Carrybots claim to cut back on the need for heavy vehicles and back-breaking manual labour, improving your efficiency, processes, and WH&S being able to carry between 100kg and 1000kg.

Facts to note:

· 1 hour charge = 10 hrs work

· Charge cycles at 80 per cent residual capacity: > 2500

· Vehicles charge autonomously, docking themselves when they require charging or standby mode

· Uninterrupted 24/7 operation possible

· Reduce the conveyor belt footprint

· All models utilise a plug and play platform. Using a HTML web interface
