AMRs are mobile robots that can navigate independently from point A to point B, making them ideal for manufacturers who want to increase productivity and reduce labor costs. 

Need to transport heavy and repetitive loads from the production line to the packaging station? AMRs can handle it!

• DF Auto has five AMR models that are designed with specific loads, purposes, and capabilities in mind. 
• For example, their Zalpha model is a flexible AMR that can transfer trays and pallets via its specialized towing, lifting, or hooking capabilities. 

Why it’s important? AMRs promote safety in factories. Why? Carrying heavy and repetitive loads is risky for humans, but not for AMRs!
