Automate 2015 - Adept Technology Launches New Fleet Management System for Lynx Mobile Robots
System Controls Up to 100 Robots for Large Deployments in Manufacturing, Warehousing/Logistics and Semiconductor
Pleasanton, Calif., March 12, 2015 - Adept Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:ADEP), a
services, today announced that it has launched Lynx Enterprise Manager 1100,
a new fleet management system for Adept's Lynx autonomous intelligent
vehicles (AIVs). Lynx Enterprise Manager 1100 controls all aspects of
operating a fleet of Lynx mobile robots, coordinating as many as 100
vehicles simultaneously to enable large-scale deployments for
warehousing/logistics, manufacturing and semiconductor applications.
"Adept Lynx AIVs are an effective, autonomous method for moving goods
throughout large warehouses and factories, improving efficiency and
flexibility, and lowering costs," said Michael Oitzman, senior product line
manager of Mobile Robots at Adept. "Lynx Enterprise Manager 1100 is a
powerful, easy-to-deploy platform that can manage every aspect of a
substantial Lynx mobile robot workforce."
Lynx AIVs provide rapid, traceable material movement in highly dynamic
environments such as warehouses, distribution centers and factories. Unlike
traditional AGV systems, Lynx vehicles intelligently self-navigate, avoiding
obstacles and selecting the best path to complete a task. The Lynx
Enterprise Manager 1100 is a powerful tool for controlling a Lynx fleet,
coordinating vehicle configuration, task allocation and traffic control, and
interfacing with a user's existing enterprise management system.
Adept will showcase the Lynx Enterprise Manager 1100, along with other new
industrial and mobile robot technologies, at Automate 2015 booth 1060 on
March 23-26 at McCormick Place North in Chicago, Illinois. Attendees can
schedule booth appointments by contacting Ann Keffer, Adept worldwide
director of marketing, at Ann.Keffer@adept.com.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
