Conclusion Sensor fusion is an important tool for supporting SLAM and safety in AMRs. In anticipation of R15.08-3, which may include references to sensor fusion and more extensive AMR stability testing and validation, this article reviewed some current standards and best practices for implementing sensor fusion in AMRs. This is the second article in a two-part series. Part one reviewed the safe and efficient integration of AMRs into industry 4.0 operations for maximum benefit.
AMRs operate as part of larger operations and are often required to integrate with enterprise resource planning (ERP), manufacturing execution system (MES), or warehouse management system (WMS) software. The communications module on the AMR coupled with sensors like barcode and RFID readers enable AMRs to be tightly fused into enterprise systems. When a barcode reader is needed, designers can turn to the V430- F000W12M-SRP from Omron, which can decode 1D and 2D barcodes on labels or Direct Part Mark (DPM) barcodes. It includes variable distance autofocus, a wide field of view lens, a 1.2-megapixel sensor, a built-in light, and high- speed processing. The DLP-RFID2 from DLP Design is a low-cost, compact module for reading from and writing to high- frequency (HF) RFID transponder tags. It can also read the unique identifiers (UDI) of up to 15 tags at once and can be configured to use an internal or external antenna. It has an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, making it suitable for use in Industry 4.0 manufacturing and logistics facilities.
