ACR Robots (Autonomous Case-handling Robot)
Flexible ``Goods-to-Person`` robotic solution for automated tote and carton picking, without rigid infrastructure
WHAT IS ACR TECHNOLOGY?
The ACR System (Autonomous Case-handling Robot) represents the next generation of intelligent logistics, surpassing the limitations of traditional AGVs. Unlike solutions that move entire racks, the ACR robot is an ``autonomous vertical picker`` that navigates freely within the warehouse, identifying and extracting only the required tote or carton (Target Tote), while simultaneously transporting up to 8-9 load units to the workstation.
This innovative technology transforms any existing space into an automated fulfillment center. With an operating capability at heights of up to 10 meters and navigation based on QR codes/Laser (no fixed rails), the system offers superior storage density and total flexibility, eliminating the wide aisles required by manual equipment.
The ACR robot
Characterized by its high stability and high accuracy, the robot can replace repetitive, time-consuming activities and difficult-to-store and manually-handled cargo, making efficient and intelligent ``Goods-to-person`` picking, significantly improving warehouse density and operational efficiency.

IMPLEMENTATION BENEFITS: FLEXIBILITY & SCALABILITY
Adopting ACR robots is ideal for e-commerce, 3PL, and Retail companies facing volume fluctuations and labor shortages. The system offers the major advantage of rapid implementation (“Plug & Play”) compared to rigid AS/RS systems.
3-4 Times Higher Operational Efficiency
Through simultaneous Multi-Tote Transport and route optimization algorithms, a single ACR robot performs the work of 3-4 manual operators. Picking stations receive a continuous flow of goods, eliminating dead time spent on walking and searching for products.
Storage Density Increased by 80-130%
The robots allow for the use of high shelving (up to 10m) and the reduction of aisle widths to under 1.2 meters. This compact architecture enables you to double storage capacity within the same warehouse, avoiding the costs of relocation or new construction.
Rapid Implementation & Scalability
The system requires no major structural modifications to the warehouse. The robot fleet can be expanded at any time based on business growth (e.g., Black Friday), offering financial agility impossible with fixed stacker cranes.

Models and Specific Applications
Our range of ACR robots covers diverse logistics scenarios:
-
Standard: The versatile robot for handling plastic totes and cartons, ideal for picking small and medium parts.
-
Telescopic: Equipped with telescopic forks for “Double-Deep” storage or for handling variable-sized boxes.
-
Carton Picking: Specialized in directly handling cardboard boxes of various sizes, eliminating the need for additional plastic trays (totes).
-
Hybrid Solutions: Automatic docking stations that allow for the simultaneous unloading of all 6-8 totes from the robot in seconds, maximizing throughput.
