On July 8, ABB Robotics launched the Flexley Stack F712, an AI-driven autonomous forklift utilizing visual SLAM technology. This product completes ABB's lineup of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), which now includes forklifts, tuggers, and transport vehicles. The F712 can handle various load types, with a maximum capacity of 2000 kg and a lifting height of 8.5 meters, achieving a top speed of 1.7 meters per second under full load.
The significance of the F712 lies in its advanced navigation capabilities, which eliminate the need for traditional infrastructure like reflective markers or magnetic strips. With a positioning accuracy of ±10 mm, the F712 can autonomously navigate complex warehouse environments. It integrates seamlessly with the AMR Studio software, allowing for rapid deployment and fleet coordination, reducing debugging time by 20% compared to traditional systems.
Looking ahead, the F712 is designed to support various internal logistics tasks, including warehousing and production line operations, and is compliant with the latest ISO and ANSI safety standards. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication, but the F712 represents a significant step towards more autonomous and capable robotic solutions in smart manufacturing environments.
