MARC Mobile Autonomous Robotic Cart

Typical Use Case

Manufacturing — As products are manufactured, MARC is loaded and operator presses 2 to send it autonomously to inventory area.
Inventory — Products are pulled from stock and loaded onto MARC and puller presses 3 to send to final inspection.
Final Inspection — Once products are ready for shipment, inspector presses 4 to send loaded MARC to shipping area.
Shipping — Shipment is loaded onto truck and once the cart is empty, loader presses button for the destination where they would like to send MARC for next task.

5 Series specifications:

High resolution 3D depth cameras allow MARC to see at extreme angles and operate safely.
3 LIDAR units scan the environment in real time to build a completely independent map that is used to navigate through an ever-changing facility.
Proximity sensors create an anti-collision system with 360° view of the area near the cart.
Internal 3-axis digital gyroscope combined with a 3-axis accelerometer for measuring tilt, acceleration and shock.

Supported temperature range from 5° to 45°C (41° - 110°F) in non-condensing humidity.
All metal components are heavy duty and coated for corrosion protection.
