A Practical Analysis of a Guangdong Medical Factory Deploying Reeman AMR Robots**
In the medical manufacturing industry, requirements for stability, accuracy, and traceability are far more stringent than in general manufacturing. Whether handling medical consumables, device components, or work-in-progress materials, every logistics operation must comply with strict regulatory standards. Any delay, misrouting, or material mix-up can disrupt production schedules-or, more critically, introduce compliance risks. As a result, achieving high-frequency, precise, and controllable material delivery while maintaining safety and compliance has long been a core challenge for medical manufacturers.
A medical manufacturing enterprise in Guangdong faced these exact challenges as its business scale continued to expand. With an increasing number of production lines and a growing variety of product models, material flow frequency between the warehouse and production lines rose sharply. The factory's traditional manual cart-based handling system began to show clear limitations, including fluctuating efficiency, heavy reliance on labor, and increasing management complexity. In addition, the facility's internal aisles were relatively narrow, with frequent personnel movement-placing higher demands on both safety and maneuverability.
After evaluating multiple solutions, the factory ultimately chose to deploy Reeman AMR robots - the 300 kg payload "Spaceship" top-lift rack model-to handle point-to-point automated material delivery between the warehouse and production lines, building a more stable and controllable internal logistics system.
Automated Rack Transport for High-Frequency Medical Logistics
The Reeman Spaceship 300 kg top-lift AMR is specifically designed for light-to-medium payload, high-frequency delivery scenarios. It can directly lift standard racks or material shelves, enabling full-rack transportation and eliminating manual loading and unloading steps.
In this medical factory, the AMR receives system instructions, collects loaded racks from the warehouse, autonomously lifts them, and navigates to designated production workstations with high docking precision. The entire process is completed without human intervention, significantly reducing the risk of human error-an especially critical factor in medical manufacturing environments.
Safe and Stable Operation in Complex Medical Environments
From a navigation and safety perspective, Reeman AMRs use laser SLAM combined with multi-sensor fusion perception, allowing them to operate reliably in personnel-dense and regulation-sensitive medical factory environments. The robots can detect pedestrians, equipment, and temporary obstacles in real time, automatically slowing down or rerouting to ensure safe and smooth operation under complex conditions.
The system also supports multi-task scheduling. Based on production-line material consumption rhythms, delivery priorities can be dynamically adjusted to prevent material shortages or overstocking at workstations-helping maintain stable production takt times.
Flexible Deployment Without Disrupting Production
Compared with traditional AGV solutions, Reeman AMRs do not require magnetic strips or large-scale facility modifications. Deployment does not disrupt ongoing production. When production lines are adjusted or logistics points change, the system can quickly adapt by updating the map-greatly enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the factory's logistics system.
Results and Value
After project deployment, the medical manufacturer achieved standardized point-to-point delivery between the warehouse and production lines. Logistics rhythms became more stable, manual handling pressure was significantly reduced, and overall production organization efficiency improved. Crucially, all improvements were achieved while meeting strict industry compliance and safety requirements, laying a solid foundation for future smart manufacturing upgrades.
From practical results, Reeman AMR robots not only solved immediate logistics challenges but also transformed the factory's logistics system from labor-driven to system-driven-becoming a critical pillar supporting high-quality medical manufacturing.
