Mobile Automation Group

Mobile Automation Group (MAG) members are the Industry’s leading suppliers of automatic guided vehicle systems. They supply systems worldwide and in virtually every major manufacturing and distribution sector. Mission: To promote the market awareness, growth, and effective use of driverless industrial vehicle systems (e.g. AGVS, AMRs, and AGCs) Vision: To be the trusted, independent authority on driverless industrial vehicle systems The MAG group is a collaboration of trusted industry leaders that provide: Market Intelligence Market Awareness and Clarity Leadership Safety Advocacy Market Access By Coordinating Statistical Programs Delivering Promotional Marketing Providing Education Influencing Industry Standards Overcoming Barriers to Adoption Both Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are computer-controlled wheel-based load carriers (normally battery powered) that run on a plant or warehouse floor (or, if outdoors, on a paved surface). The main difference between AGVs and AMRs is how the path they follow is determined. Most AGVs follow predefined paths, although there may be areas of the plant or warehouse where they have more freedom. AMRs can determine their own path, although they will attempt to follow suggested paths if they exist. This difference leads to differing methodologies for ensuring safe operation for the two types of vehicle. AGVs follow the ANSI B56.5 Safety Guidelines There is a standard under development for AMRs MAG member companies meet regularly to review, discuss and revise the standards for design, performance and safe operation of automatic guided vehicle systems. MAG members are committed to the development, maintenance and publishing of industry standard specifications for these systems. MAG programs include: The development of educational and training materials; A voice in the development and maintenance of national standards; The confidential exchange of market statistics and publication of industry data to the public; The communication of the benefits of AGVS solutions via trade shows, educational forums, and other national and regional seminars.

BALYO Revolutionizes the Move to Robotics for High Bay Storage Warehouses and Distribution Centers at MODEX 2024
March 1, 2024

[Woburn, MA, February 29] – BALYO, a trailblazer in transforming standard forklifts into autonomous driverless forklifts, is set to showcase the future of vertical pallet movement and storage at MODEX 2024, Booth C8669. Under the spotlight will be BALYO's revolutionary robotic narrow aisle high reach robot, the embodiment of simplicity and efficiency in autonomous pallet storage and retrieval.   Maximize Existing Space & Racking: BALYO's reach robot is not just a machine; it's a beacon lighting the way for companies to embrace a vertical pallet storage revolution. With the capability to pick pallets up to 1.7 tons to a towering height of 36 feet, this slim infrastructure-free autonomous robot operates in aisles of only 9’9” wide – the narrowest in-aisle turning space for high-reach robotic forklifts. This gives warehouses maximum space utilization, without the need to re-layout and re-install existing racking, which saves both time and money.   The Apex of Intelligence & Safety: This robotic wonder operates with the highest level of intelligence, using advanced LiDAR and a proprietary SLAM navigation algorithm. This combination allows for infrastructure-free localization and navigation with the highest degree of safety. The robot is further complemented by 3D cameras and sensors to safely recognize and handle virtually any globally-used pallet type.    The Message from BALYO’s Chief Sales Officer, Mark Stevenson: "Smart companies are scaling up - not out! The vertical revolution is here, and the key to safely and efficiently navigating it is to automate the storage and retrieval of goods," declares Mark Stevenson, BALYO’s Chief Sales Officer.    "BALYO robots operate at the absolute highest level of both safety and mission accuracy.  Moving complex manual forklift operations to automated pallet transportation and storage is easy, fast and the ROI impact is compelling.  For example, a typical end-of-line to storage flow can be installed and running in as little as a few weeks, with minimal disruption to on-going operations. The shift to robotic operations is a no-brainer in overcoming labor challenges, and maximizing storage space utilization in existing facilities without expensive and production-invasive changes. BALYO is already helping our clients do this all over the world. "   Simplifying Change, Inspiring Progress: Stevenson reassures, "BALYO is here to dispel the legacy “fear of change” that somehow automating is complex, risky, and expensive.  Many of our clients feared they did not have the expertise to automate pallet transportation and storage, and did not know where to start, or that changing existing processes is risky. Our robots can be running in weeks, not months. Our stock inventory of standard robots, simple tools and quick-start processes empower users to take charge of the transformation. Change has never been this easy."   Digital Twins So You Know Before You Go: At MODEX 24, BALYO will bring the reach robot to life, showcasing real-world pallet storage and retrieval scenarios. BALYO experts will demonstrate tools like BALYO eBudget for straightforward scoping of robotic projects. BALYO will also demonstrate their Road Editor software, which creates a digital twin of any space to create circuit planning and mission management so you “know before you go” on every project.    A Legacy of Innovation: With nearly 20 years of experience, BALYO's unique software has evolved to turn standard electric trucks into standalone intelligent robots, accelerating the gap between manual and autonomous operations. This technology doesn't replace people; it liberates them to focus on improving operations and engaging in truly value-added activities.   A Symphony of Solutions: The reach robot is just one note in BALYO’s symphony of sustainable robotic solutions, including stackers, counter-balanced robots, tuggers, pallet jacks, and a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) robot reaching heights of 56ft.   BALYO's global headquarters are in Paris, with operations spanning the USA, Singapore, China, and Australia.   Join BALYO at MODEX 24, C8669, and be part of the revolution that elevates materials handling to new heights.   BALYO, C8669 MODEX 2024, C8669 Atlanta, GA www.balyo.com/reach-trucks/reachy   About Balyo   Humans around the world deserve enriching and creative jobs. BALYO believes that pallet movements in DC and manufacturing sites should be left to fully autonomous robots. To execute this ambition, BALYO transforms standard forklifts into intelligent robots thanks to its breakthrough Driven by Balyo™ technology. The company’s leading geo guidance navigation system enables robots to locate their position and navigate autonomously inside buildings without the need for any additional infrastructure. To accelerate the material handling market conversion to autonomy, BALYO has entered into two global partnerships with KION (Fenwick-Linde's parent company) and Hyster-Yale Group. A full range of globally available robots has been developed for virtually all traditional warehousing applications; Tractor, Pallet, Stackers, Reach and VNA-robots. BALYO and its subsidiaries in Boston and Singapore serve clients in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The company has been listed on EURONEXT since 2017 and its sales revenue reached €24 million in 2023.   Contact Rob Patey BALYO Marketing Director rob.patey@balyo.com +1 215 260 0675 www.balyo.com

BALYO reveals the simple path to robotic automation for high bay storage at ProMat 2023
March 2, 2023

  BALYO, the company that specializes in transforming standard forklifts into driverless robots, will be attending ProMat 2023. Robotic experts will be on-hand to discuss BALYO’s full line of driverless forklift vehicles that are helping companies scale up as opposed to out, and showcase tools that simplify the shift from manual to autonomous materials handling.    The BALYO line of high-bay storage robots will be front and center at ProMat 2023. Robots like the BALYO REACHY, which can pick pallets of up to 1.5 tons to a height of 37 feet and achieve a 360° turn in only 9.9 feet - the narrowest in-aisle turning space for high-reach robotic forklifts.    “Smart companies are scaling up - not out!” says Mark Stevenson, BALYO’s Chief Sales Officer. “The only way to safely and efficiently be part of this vertical revolution in materials handling is to automate the storage and retrieval of goods.”    In addition to saving space, the shift to high bay storage has other efficiencies including increased speed of materials movement, flexibility in warehouse design, and the inherent safety that comes from using automated systems.    “The shift to robotic operations just makes sense, from overcoming labor challenges, to safety, to ROI, all the numbers add up,” continues Stevenson.”The biggest thing that holds organizations back is the fear of complicated change, time to deploy, and disruption.”    “BALYO is ready to show that there’s nothing to fear, our standard solutions can be deployed in weeks not months, and our simple tools are designed to allow users to do much of it themselves. It’s easy to simply change.”    BALYO experts will be demonstrating tools like BALYO eBudget for simple scoping of robotic projects, and BALYO Road Editor software that makes mission management a drag-and-drop experience.    BALYO developed its unique software nearly 20 years ago with the aim of turning standard electric trucks into standalone intelligent robots, a move which the company believes, helps to address the reluctance of some operators to switch to automation and realize all of these benefits.   Stevenson continues, “BALYO robots can be operated both fully manual and autonomously, bridging the perceived gap between whether to use people or technology. This frees up people to focus on improving operations and other truly value-added activities. In this way, our technology is being used to vastly improve people’s working lives.”   The Reach Robot is just one of the full complement of Balyo’s sustainable robotic solutions including stackers, counter-balanced robots, tuggers, pallet jacks, and a VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) robot that can reach heights of 55 feet.    BALYO’s global head offices are in Paris with global operations in the USA, Singapore, China, and Australia.   BALYO, Stand N8710 ProMat 2023, Chicago Illinois, March 20-23 https://www.balyo.com/reach-trucks/reachy   About   Humans around the world deserve enriching and creative jobs.
