Mauser Packaging Solutions (Mauser) a prominent global packaging leader with a vast network of facilities worldwide, faced challenges with their existing automated guided vehicle (AGV) system. The system fell short in meeting their requirements for uninterrupted production and round-the-clock operations. Seeking a solution that would deliver superior uptime and efficiency, Mauser turned to autonomous material handling technology. Their choice? The OTTO 1500, an exceptional autonomous mobile robot (AMR) known for its unparalleled productivity.

Implementing the Solution

Mauser strategically deployed two OTTO 1500 AMRs at their Langley, BC and Oakville, ON facilities. These robots seamlessly collaborated with Mauser’s operators, ensuring a safe and efficient movement of plastic rigid containers from the conveyor to the stretch-wrapper. By leveraging the OTTO AMRs, Mauser achieved their goal of maintaining a 24/7 operation with optimised productivity.

Remarkable Results

Working in tandem with OTTO, Mauser experienced impressive outcomes that surpassed their expectations:

Langley facility:

Reallocated three laborers to more value-added roles, boosting overall productivity
Eliminated the need for two additional forklifts, streamlining operations
Significantly enhanced safety by reducing manual forklift traffic

Oakville facility:

Achieved a remarkable increase in uptime and 600% higher throughput
Leveraged the OTTO AMR’s advanced capabilities to achieve optimal operational efficiency

Digging into the Figures

Comparatively, the previous AGV system completed a mere 3-4 missions before requiring a 25–30-minute charging period to sustain further operations. In contrast, a single OTTO AMR can accomplish up to 36 missions before heading to the charging station at approximately 70% battery capacity. The AGV system, on the other hand, faced a significant drop in performance after just 3-4 tasks when the battery level reached 15%. Consequently, the exceptional 600% throughput improvement represents the total number of missions completed by OTTO before requiring a recharge during regular operations, highlighting its superiority over the AGV system. It is important to note that these impressive results are based on OTTO’s regular operational time rather than its maximum 13-hour runtime.

In summary, by partnering with OTTO and integrating their innovative AMR technology into their operations, Mauser Packaging Solutions witnessed a substantial boost in productivity, efficiency, and uptime across their Langley and Oakville facilities.

Guidance Automation – Unlocking your Automation Potential

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) Trial

If you’re an SME that could benefit from the addition of Mobile Robots within your facility, we would love to advise on how this could be implemented and what productivity gains could potentially be made.

Nothing is better than actually having a vehicle in your facility to replicate the solution and show how such vehicles could operate in your environment with your people.

We can demonstrate a solution and potentially leave it with you to see some of the benefits for yourself. Let us help you unlock the potential of automation.
