Clarity and orientation in a growing portfolio – over the past three years, SAFELOG has continuously expanded its range of mobile robots. The growth in models and functionalities has now made a change in device names necessary. Which robot is best suited for which task? In future, it should be possible to answer this question quickly and easily. A clear and well-thought-out naming structure provides valuable guidance. The new names include specific attributes that clearly define the areas of use and capabilities of the transport robots.

Naming based on core features

Each model variant is assigned a core feature and labeled with attributes such as “tow” for towing vehicles with a coupling pin, “lift” for robots that can lift loads, and “spin” for devices with a rotating/lifting unit. The base vehicle of each model is referred to as “core.” “The clear assignment of each device to its respective areas of application will help our customers make the right choice for their specific requirements,” explains Mathias Behounek, Managing Director of SAFELOG.

With the models…

…SAFELOG offers a wide range of products capable of handling most intralogistics tasks. Further solutions are being developed to close the last gaps in the portfolio.

Moreover, the strict categorization of mobile robots into categories like “AGV” or “AMR” is no longer up to date. “Our new names are intended to show that SAFELOG robots no longer need rigid definitions. They are as flexible and versatile as their tasks,” continues Behounek.
