The project started with an analysis of statistical flow data to design the system and a volume analysis to study the ideal load unit, in order to efficiently accommodate the different types of products.

The project required a connection with the production area, where it was integrated with the autonomous vehicles AMR’s, which perform all movement of collection and delivery of products to their destinations according to the production system request.
