Anscer Robotics Launches LBR500: The AMR Designed to Replace Manual Material Movement on the Factory Floor

Sleek, Smart, and Space-Savvy – The LBR500 Brings Unmatched Flexibility to Manufacturing and Logistics

Today, Anscer Robotics announced the availability of the LBR500, a purpose-built Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) addressing a key industry challenge of the manual movement of carts, racks, and trolleys. Available now and already being deployed in factories across the electronics, plastics, and automotive supply chains, the LBR500 is a compact, omnidirectional AMR engineered for ultimate cart compatibility and factory floor flexibility.


"Material movement may not always grab headlines, but it's the silent drain on factory efficiency," said Mark Messina, CEO of Anscer Americas. "The LBR500 isn't just another robot—it's a right-sized solution that fits directly into real-world workflows, increasing throughput while preserving valuable production space."

The LBR500 replaces manual labor without the overkill of forklifts for the factory floor. Traditional automation for cart transport often required bulky forklifts—costly, hazardous, and ill-suited for today's increasingly dense and dynamic production environments.

With a low-profile lift platform and full omnidirectional mobility, LBR500 navigates narrow aisles and tight corners that forklifts and many robots simply can't. It can engage with nearly any cart style, maximizing cart capacity and eliminating the need for specialized infrastructure or wide-turn clearances. This translates into direct efficiency gains, less wasted movement, fewer disruptions, and higher production output.

Built for Work-in-Progress (WIP) and Value-Added Logistics

Factories moving raw materials, WIP items, or finished goods by hand now have an automation option that adapts to them. The LBR500 seamlessly integrates into environments where team members currently stop what they're doing to push carts—costing time and productivity. From line-side replenishment to multi-stage manufacturing transfers, the LBR500 streamlines the flow.

In logistics, the LBR500 supports operations focused on each-picking and value-added services (VAS) like kitting, sorting, or repackaging, where flexibility and mobility are essential but large-scale automation is overkill.

The LBR500 is actively being deployed by leading electronics manufacturers and automotive suppliers, where it's eliminating unnecessary motion and enabling line workers to focus on skilled tasks, not cart-pushing. The robot helps companies increase output, raise top-line performance and reduce the cost of inefficiency on the bottom line.

The LBR500 is available now. Interested companies can learn more or schedule a demo by contacting Chris Harbert - chris.harbert@anscer.com. See Product details and technical specifications: https://www.anscer.com/products/plr/lbr500#details
