Overview
Best Packaging Automation integrates autonomous mobile robot (AMR) forklifts and related systems to move pallets and goods safely and consistently between production, storage, and trucks. These solutions automate the “last 100 meters” of intralogistics and loading, reducing manual driving, improving safety, and enabling fully automated docks.
What These Systems Do
Autonomous counterbalanced AMR forklifts Driverless, counterbalanced AMR forklifts handle floor‑to‑floor moves, heavy‑load stacking, and dock work using laser and vision‑based navigation rather than fixed infrastructure. They support a variety of pallet types and are designed for mixed environments where people and mobile robots share space.
Unmanned truck loading and unloading AMR forklifts automate loading and unloading for trailers, wing‑type trucks, and flatbeds, including challenging cases like mixed loads or high‑sided vehicles. Advanced sensing and 3D navigation help the system locate the truck, measure available space, and place loads for maximum utilization.
Pallet pose detection and tight‑tolerance handling Vision and sensor technology identify pallet position and orientation on the fly, enabling reliable pick‑and‑place even when pallets are not perfectly aligned. This supports zero‑clearance or near‑zero‑clearance loading patterns to make the most of trailer space
Key Benefits
- Reduced labor and driving time Automating repetitive transport and dock work allows you to move the same or more pallets with fewer drivers and forklifts, freeing people for higher‑value tasks.
- Higher safety and fewer incidents Multi‑layer safety—including obstacle detection, warning lights, and emergency stop devices—provides 360° protection around the AMR and truck interface.
- Better dock and yard utilization Automated loading can shorten loading cycles and improve trailer space utilization, helping you move more volume with the same dock positions and equipment.
- Scalable, software‑driven operations Fleet management and warehouse software coordinate multiple AMRs, monitor status, and provide data for continuous improvement in intralogistics flow.
How Best Packaging Automation Approaches AMR Projects
Projects start with mapping current pallet flows—between production, warehouse, and docks—and identifying routes and tasks that are best suited for mobile automation. Best Packaging Automation then works with technology partners to specify AMR forklift types, navigation methods, and safety functions that fit your environment, while integrating them with existing WMS, MES, or line controls where appropriate.
Implementation includes route design, traffic rules, charging strategy, and phased deployment so AMRs can be introduced alongside manual operations with minimal disruption. Operators, maintenance, and logistics teams receive training on day‑to‑day interaction, exception handling, and basic diagnostics, with ongoing support provided as part of Best Packaging’s broader automation and service offering.
