SlipBot

DESCRIPTION

SlipBot is an Industrial-Robot from Slip Robotics. It is built for Loading, Material-Handling, Unloading. Key figures: 5443 kg payload.

SlipBot is Slip Robotics' autonomous trailer-loading robot, a low flat platform that carries up to 12,000 lb of freight and auto-loads or auto-unloads a standard trailer in about five minutes. Freight is staged on SlipBots at the dock instead of on the floor; an operator lines the robot up at the trailer entrance and presses Enter on a handheld controller, and the SlipBot aligns, drives in and positions the freight on its own, so people and forklifts stay out of the trailer. Three SlipBots fill a trailer, and the robots stay with the freight end to end, which suits closed-loop shuttle routes. Mecanum omnidirectional wheels let it move precisely in any direction inside trailers, multi-point LiDAR handles positioning and obstacle detection, side plates extend from 89 to 98 inches to fit different trailers, and hot-swappable batteries keep it running. It needs no Wi-Fi, IT integration or dock changes and stops automatically for obstructions. The +Rack attachment uses standard E-Track load bars and straps to stack non-stackable freight on two or more levels, and +XL adds mounting points and software-set safety zones for overhanging loads up to 40 feet. At Valeo's Seymour, Indiana plant, 26 SlipBots cut loading time from 30 minutes to 5.
