The History of MiR

▪ First construction idea was made of LEGO bricks start 2011.

▪ The ”Alfa-version” was developed by the founder and co-owner

Niels Jul Jacobsen in April 2012.

▪ Mobile Industrial Robots was established in May 2013

▪ Thomas Visti entered the company as co-owner and holds the

position as CEO from October 2014.
 The Company Today

Benefits of MiR Robots

Very flexible: Easily re-mapped and Increase productivity: go around obstacles

and find the best path according to their
taught new destinations and tasks internal map ensuring the material flow

Redeploy workers from pushing a Support changing business needs: Redeploy

easily to different processes or facility
cart to higher-value activities layouts

Fast ROI: Do not require any Very user-friendly: Easy to control via a
expensive installation and pay simple web interface that requires no prior
themselves off in less than a year programming experience

Safe operation: Maneuver safely

around people and obstacles, even Many applications: Can be redeployed for
different tasks with various top modules
in very dynamic environments
 AMR vs. AGV
AMR – Autonomous (collaborative) Mobile Robot

AGV – Automated Guided Vehicle

AMR AGV
Trackless, autonomous navigation Requires ”tracks” – e.g. magnetic stripes in the floor or wires

Travels safely around people and obstacles Stops at any obstacle without possibility to change route

Easy to expand/change work area Expensive and time consuming to expand/change work area

Navigates dynamically using a map, allowing it to plan it’s own path Restricted to fixed routes
▪ Includes a VL Marker for accurate docking
▪ Laser guided into position
▪ Automated in-house transport solutions
▪ Automatic pick-up and drop-off of carts
▪ Towing Capacity of MiRHook 100: 300 kg – 661 lbs.
▪ Towing Capacity of MiRHook 200: 500 kg – 1100 lbs.
▪ Fleet Management for optimized robot traffic
▪ Automatic prioritization and selection of the robot best suited for a job, based on position and availability
▪ Planning of the use of different top modules
▪ Text message or e-mail notifications if obstacles prevent the robots from completing planned jobs
