Fetch PalletTransport1500

Fetch Robotics has launched its new PalletTransport1500, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) that supports cross-docking, returns and case picking workflows for contactless pallet transport in distribution centres. The PalletTransport1500 will utilise Honeywell Intelligrated's Momentum warehouse execution system (Momentum WES) software to safely move pallets and other large payloads up to 1,136 kg.

With next- and even same-day delivery quickly becoming expected service levels, distribution centres are under immense pressure to meet rising consumer expectations with a limited labour supply.

"Even the most well-managed distribution centres are struggling to keep up with the ongoing growth of e-commerce, which is putting tremendous stress on facilities and warehouse associates to move goods in and out of facilities at record speed," says Fetch chief product officer Stefan Nusser. "By combining Fetch's new PalletTransport1500 with Honeywell Intelligrated's Momentum WES, distribution and fulfillment centres will now be able to orchestrate every aspect of automated warehouse execution for maximum facility efficiency and safety."


"To compete in the fast-paced, high-stakes world of e-commerce, modern distribution and fulfillment centre operations are introducing increasing levels of automation. Too often these automated systems operate independently, performing very discrete tasks and processes," says Thomas Evans, CTO of Honeywell Robotics. "This collaboration with Fetch to have a turnkey solution with Momentum gives those in the e-commerce industry a competitive advantage that will optimise productivity, increase operational safety, and provide significant return on investment."

Through the integrated Pallet Conveyance solution, facilities can leverage the PalletTransport1500 to support a wide variety of workflows, including cross-docking, returns, and warehouse transport.

This latest offering builds on Fetch's ongoing partnership with Honeywell, which combines the power of Honeywell software with Fetch's existing suite of AMRs to support autonomous workflows for smaller payloads.
