Discover the power of Genius 2: Transform anything into a self-driving robot and automate your material handling

October 19, 2023

In today's fast-paced world, the demand for efficient material handling is greater than ever. The need to streamline intra-logistical operations is a common challenge faced by a wide range of industries. While many businesses have implemented automation in many areas, material handling remains a holdout. Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) can automate many processes but are expensive and have limited flexibility. wheel.me’s Genius 2 tackles these limitations and brings fully flexible and automated material handling within reach.

Material handling challenges

Material handling forms the backbone of many industries, ensuring the smooth flow of products and replenishment of resources. However, it has challenges. Traditional material handling methods often involve manual labor and expensive and inflexible specialized equipment, leading to issues such as:

  1. Human-dpendent processes: Relying on human operators for material handling can lead to inefficiencies, fatigue, and a greater risk of errors. At the same time, companies have difficulties finding human resources and dealing with high no-show rates.
  1. Infrastructural limitations: Automating rigid infrastructures can be costly and time-consuming, which makes it hard to stay competitive and rapidly respond to changes in consumer demand.
  1. Adaptability and scalability: Businesses that heavily depend on manual labor face challenges when trying to scale their operations or adapt to changing requirements swiftly, as recruiting and (re)training people can be challenging.
  1. Safety concerns: Ensuring the safety of employees and the materials being handled is of utmost importance but can be complex, especially in dynamic, industrial environments.
