Pramac has teamed up with Swiss autonomous navigation leader BlueBotics to launch its first range of mobile robot solutions under the X-ACT brand.

Sold through Pramac’s new business unit, Lifter Mobile Robotics, three X-ACT mobile robots are available, with several more in the pipeline.

“When we created Lifter Mobile Robotics, we wanted to build on our expertise in the field of materials handling equipment by integrating the best and latest technologies possible, to ensure these products are plug and play-ready and reliable,” says Federico Piersimoni, business group director of Pramac’s Materials Handling Division.

“When it came to automating and managing our X-ACT solutions, it soon became obvious that BlueBotics was the best-in-class choice. Their ANT navigation is accurate and robust, requiring minimal infrastructure changes when installing the robots on-site, and their ANT server fleet manager is as powerful as it gets, meaning our X-ACT robots can move intelligently and safely in dynamic environments, whatever the payload size or shape, and without deadlocks.” 

Nicola Tomatis, CEO at BlueBotics, believes Pramac has the highest credibility in the materials handling space, excellent technology and an impressive global network. “We are sure its X-ACT solutions represent a valuable addition to the market, and we predict great things for Lifter Mobile Robotics in the coming years.”

The current model range consists of the HYBRIX collaborative mobile robot pallet truck, the APTIX autonomous pallet truck, and the AMRIX fully autonomous platform robot.
