DESCRIPTION
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.

August 8, 2025 – Houston, Texas – Oceaneering International, Inc. (Oceaneering) announces that its Mobile Robotics business has introduced a suite of advanced autonomy features now available on the MaxMover™ Counterbalance Forklift and CompactMover™ Fork Over Leg that are engineered to drive safety, productivity, and flexibility in modern material handling and intralogistics environments.These new capabilities deliver intelligent automation for real-world industrial challenges and are ideal for deployment in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and logistics centers across the globe.The MaxMover™ Counterbalance Forklift is specifically designed for use across warehouse logistics, manufacturing operations, distribution centers, and assembly lines. The system offers a true replacement for conventional counterbalance forklifts. Amongst its new capabilities are Elevated Obstacle Detection (EOD), a safety-enhancing feature that detects overhead hazards, such as suspended structures or raised equipment, beyond the reach of standard scanners. EOD allows the mobile robot to automatically slow or halt to prevent collisions. It resumes movement once the path is clear, helping to minimize downtime and protect assets.Also new is Empty Drop-off Detection (EDD), which actively scans drop-off zones to ensure they are clear before payload release. This intelligent safeguard prevents misplaced loads, reduces the risk of equipment damage, and keeps operations running smoothly. Additional innovations include Fork Pitch Adjustment (FPA), which automatically modifies fork width to accommodate varying pallet sizes, eliminating manual adjustments and enabling seamless load handling with a single vehicle.The CompactMover™ FOL U 1200 is a compact autonomous mobile robot engineered to replace traditional electric pallet stackers. It offers a fully electric solution without hydraulics for easier maintenance and a fork-over-leg design, natural-feature navigation, and infrastructure-free deployment.The CompactMover™ offers a scalable, low-maintenance solution for modern warehouse and production environments. The new features include EOD, which detects and stops for high obstacles, Automatic Pallet Tracking, which seamlessly handles misaligned pallets on the floor, and Available Location Detection (ALD), which scans rows and finds available spaces efficiently.With these innovations, Oceaneering Mobile Robotics continues to push the boundaries of autonomous material handling. By enabling higher throughput, lowering operating costs, and improving overall safety, these solutions are ideal for smart warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities seeking scalable automation strategies.For more information, visit: oceaneering.com/omr.About Oceaneering Mobile Robotics Oceaneering Mobile Robotics designs, manufactures, implements, and maintains innovative turnkey logistic solutions based on autonomous mobile robot technology.

March 20, 2023 – Chicago, Illinois – Today, Oceaneering announces that its Mobile Robotics group will co-present, “Building the Business Case for Mobile Robotics in Logistics and Manufacturing,” at this year’s ProMat conference. Patrick Bruijn, Business Development Director for Oceaneering Mobile Robotics, will join Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics and Michael Macrum, General Manager of Bastian Solutions, a TOYOTA Advanced Logistics Company, to outline the process of building a business case specific to your organization. “With hiring workers an ongoing challenge and the need to build competitive and resilient businesses growing stronger by the day, it’s no wonder that mobile robotics market is booming,” said Bruijn. “This presentation sets out to demonstrate how any company can take advantage of solutions like automated guided vehicles, automated forklifts, and autonomous mobile robotics.” The presentation, part of the on-the-floor seminar series, will be held on Wednesday, March 22, 3:45 – 4:30 pm local time, in Theater I. Oceaneering Mobile Robotics will attend ProMat (Booth S3847) from March 20-23, 2023. Oceaneering Mobile Robotics designs, manufactures, implements, and maintains innovative turnkey logistic solutions based on autonomous mobile robot technology. Its mobile robot systems consist of one or more robots, advanced supervisory software, and supporting infrastructure. These robots can be operated in mixed fleets. Integration management ensures that these turnkey logistic systems are optimized to suit customer needs and seamlessly interface with other customer processes, while OMR’s high-performance battery solution helps to lower customers’ operational carbon footprint. For over 30 years, OMR has been a trusted partner for the automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics industries.

March 20, 2023 – Chicago, Illinois – Today, Oceaneering announces that its Mobile Robotics group has introduced a new supervisory software for its fleet of autonomous mobile robots. The new supervisory software platform implements logistic flows by coordinating and managing mobile robots and peripheral devices. It complements Oceaneering’s portfolio of mobile robots, such as underride robots and forklifts, allowing for mixed fleets to be deployed in one location. “The new software is more than a fleet manager,” said Patrick Bruijn, Business Development Director, Oceaneering Mobile Robotics. “The software provides safe, predictable, reliable, and streamlined view of data from mobile robots and other sources to enable better decision-making.” The software platform is suitable for use in a variety of applications, ranging from assembly lines to complex logistical flows spanning several floors in different buildings. Using the latest cloud, IIoT (industrial internet of things), machine learning, and big data technologies, the software platform is built for security, scalability, and resilience. Enhanced capabilities such as advanced analytics, natural handling, self-optimization, and more can be expected via continual updates. The software will launch in Q3 2023.
