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.

Sensor Overview

Combination of Lasers, 3D Cameras and Proximity Sensors Create a Complete View

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.
Electrically isolated motors which allow for the cart to be pushed manually without resistance.
Push-to-kill red emergency stop button for added safety.
