RMT Robotics Celebrates Seven Years of ADAM Mobile Robot Success in Tire Handling
Building on RMT's gantry-based automated storage and retrieval system for the tire industry, ADAM provides a flexible robotic solution for press delivery without the expense and disruption of conventional GT storage and press delivery systems.
Grimsby, Ontario, Canada (July 24, 2012) - RMT Robotics® (www.rmtrobotics.com), a Cimcorp Oy company and the manufacturer and integrator of the ADAM autonomous mobile robot (AMR) (www.adamrobot.com), is pleased to celebrate seven years of ADAM's proven industry success as a tire handling solution. Since July of 2005, ADAM has maximized the efficiency of green tire (GT) transport from component handling to tire build machine (TBM) collection to press delivery.
ADAM promotes lean manufacturing efficiency in tire manufacturing facilities by automating component handling and orchestrating work-in-process (WIP) logistics, delivering what is needed in the exact time and quantity required. Building on RMT's gantry-based automated storage and retrieval system for the tire industry, ADAM provides a flexible robotic solution for press delivery without the expense and disruption of conventional GT storage and press delivery systems.
ADAM delivers seamless, intelligent and efficient transportation of green tires through:
· Compact design - ADAM can position itself beneath the press load arm.
· Lean manufacturing - Reduced quantities of WIP at TBM eliminates clutter and improves efficiency.
· Flexibility and modularity - No external guide path network or sensors necessary, ADAM requires few modifications to infrastructure or operations.
· Adaptability - ADAM is capable of delivering both passenger and truck tires and accommodates multi-style presses.
"Since 2005, ADAM has been attracting interest around the world as a state-of-the-art robotic green tire handling solution capable of reducing operating costs and improving overall plant productivity," said Don Heelis, global sales manager - tire systems, RMT Robotics. "ADAM's flexibility and modularity as well as lean manufacturing capabilities make it the ideal solution for complex tire manufacturing environments."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
