ABB Flexley Tug Use-Cases

Assembly and Subassembly: The Flexley Tug is well-suited for assembly and subassembly processes. Its flexibility allows for easy integration into production lines, facilitating the addition and removal of stations as needed. This adaptability ensures smooth operations and enables quick adjustments to changes in production requirements. The tug's precise maneuverability and strong pulling capacity contribute to efficient and reliable transportation of components within the assembly line.

Kitting: In kitting operations, where related items are prepared as kits and supplied to the production line simultaneously, the Flexley Tug offers significant advantages. Its compact design and high pulling capacity enable faster manufacturing or picking processes. The tug's ability to handle heavy loads and navigate through narrow spaces ensures efficient movement of kits, contributing to improved productivity in kitting operations.

Robot Cells: The Flexley Tug integrates seamlessly with robot cells, enabling bidirectional communication and safe operations. It can precisely transport materials to and from robot cells, facilitating collaborative production processes. The tug's strong and compact design ensures the safe transportation of goods within the robot cell environment, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency.

Milk Run: For logistic operations that involve transporting multiple loads simultaneously over long distances, the Flexley Tug proves to be an excellent choice. The AMR T801 and AMR T901 models of the Flexley Tug are specifically designed to overcome slopes, making them ideal for milk run scenarios. These tugs can reliably transport loads across challenging terrains, ensuring efficient and timely delivery of goods in complex logistics operations.

Horizontal Transport: The Flexley Tug excels in horizontal transport applications, particularly when precise, automatic, and safe loading and unloading of goods is required. The tug can seamlessly integrate with conveyors, enabling the smooth movement of loads along the production line. Its smart connectivity and real-time information capabilities allow for optimized coordination with conveyor systems, ensuring seamless material flow and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
