Safely and efficiently integrating AMRs into industry 4.0 operations for maximum benefit
By Jeff Shepard Contributed By DigiKey's North American Editors
In response to the surging use of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), also called industrial mobile robots, in Industry 4.0 operations, the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), together with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), recently released the second increment of its safety standard for AMRs: ANSI/ A3 R15.08-2, which details the requirements for integrating, configuring, and customizing an AMR or fleet of AMRs into a site. An essential requirement is the performance of a risk assessment per ANSI/ISO 12100 or ANSI B11.0. The new standard complements the previously released R15.08-1 that focused on the safe design and integration of AMRs.
