Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) for More Flexibility in the Warehouse
Over the years, many different names have been coined for flexible transport systems on the market, from automated guided vehicle (AGV), autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to autonomous intelligent vehicle (AIV). Our Open Shuttles are autonomous and intelligent transport robots that help bring flexibility to the design of logistical processes. Find out more about our flexible solution for internal transport.
Intelligent AMR robots for warehouse logistics
Are you looking to use automation to interconnect different areas of your warehouse and production? Do you need your goods to arrive at the right location in the right quantity and at the right time – while reserving the ability to make changes flexibly as needed?
Our autonomous mobile robots, or automated guided vehicles, make all this possible – automatically, with ease and efficiency. Infused with intelligent software, our Open Shuttles reliably carry out transport orders autonomously, navigating warehouse space freely while identifying and avoiding obstacles. This means they can be integrated in existing warehouse environments – no extra infrastructure needed. Our AMR robots offer maximum flexibility while increasing productivity and freeing up human resources for value-generating tasks. Our Open Shuttles AMRs are the smart, flexible way to automate your warehouse-internal material flow.

Advantages of our autonomous mobile robots Open Shuttle
Our autonomous mobile robots feel at home in a number of settings
Our Open Shuttle AMRs are a solid alternative to stationary container and pallet conveyors. With our robots, you can link all areas of your warehouse flexibly and easily while performing various tasks:
- Transporting various different load carriers within the warehouse
- Supplying work stations and production lines
- Connecting to production machines
- Supporting the picking process
- Connecting to packing and repacking stations
- Complementing an existing pallet conveyor system
- Supplying kanban racks and flow racks
- Performing special and express transport tasks
What’s more, our Open Shuttles perfectly integrate into existing systems or act as a direct link to automated storage systems, such as our OSR Shuttle Evo or InduStore.
Scale your Open Shuttle fleet to meet your needs
You decide what your Open Shuttle fleet should look like. Whether you have two shuttles or over 100, the size of the fleet can be adapted to your current situation and changed at any time. Our range of AMR models with different load-handling devices can also be combined to form a versatile fleet.
Our intelligent fleet software makes it possible to efficiently visualize and control all transport resources. This also allows our robots to function in combination with other warehouse vehicles, such as AMRs and forklift trucks from other manufacturers.

Add-ons to complete your Open Shuttle AMR solution
Our autonomous mobile robots can be flexibly tailored to your needs using our innovative add-ons.
Integrated lifter
Our Open Shuttles can be equipped with a lifter to retrieve and deliver loads at different heights – from 550–1,500 millimeters (21.65 in–59.06 in) or from 0–1,200 millimeters (0–47.24 in) – and transfer them to different conveyors. This provides more flexibility when designing processes.
Integrated width adjustment
The load-handling device (LHD) can also be equipped with width adjustment, allowing the Open Shuttle to automatically adapt its LHD to the width of the load carrier. With the integrated lifter and width adjustment, the Open Shuttle flexibly adapts to both the height and the width of its load.
Indicator lights and sensors
Additional indicator lights and sensors increase the Open Shuttle’s visibility in warehouse areas with frequent traffic. To meet your requirements, our AMRs can be equipped as needed.
AMR integration made easy
At KNAPP, we know that every second is valuable and what system downtime means for your business. For this reason, our robots are quick and easy to implement. Installation only takes six simple steps and can be carried out while your warehouse is in operation.
