In the Industry 4.0 era, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) have become core enablers of smart manufacturing. As the "brain" of AMRs, the controller directly impacts overall performance, stability, and scalability. Drawing on decades of technical expertise, Hangzhou Shiteng Technology decodes the critical selection criteria:
1. Core Performance: Balancing Computing Power and Reliability
-
Hardware Environmental Adaptability
AMRs must operate reliably in extreme conditions (-40°C~80°C), dusty/corrosive environments, or high humidity. Controllers should meet:-
IP Rating ≥ IP54 (IP67 recommended for outdoor use)
-
Vibration Resistance (e.g., Shiteng’s integrated servo wheel module with bracket-mounted structure enhances motion accuracy)
-
Military-Grade Chips: Passed EMC/EMI lab tests for electromagnetic compatibility
-
-
Computing Power & Real-Time Response
-
Navigation algorithms (laser SLAM, visual positioning) require high-performance processors to avoid mapping delays
-
Shiteng Solution: Equipped with in-house 32-bit RISC chips, response latency <1ms, supports dynamic obstacle avoidance replanning
-
2. System Compatibility: Avoiding "Ecological Islands"
| Compatibility Dimension | Key Requirements | System Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Navigation Methods | Supports hybrid SLAM/QR code/reflector/RTK | Open API for multi-sensor protocols |
| Chassis Models | Compatible with steering/differential/Mecanum wheels | Preloaded with 7 motion algorithm libraries |
| External Device Expansion | Supports roller/lift/robotic arm coordination | Modbus/TCP-IP interfaces & SDK development kits |
Case Study: An auto parts plant achieved 35% higher efficiency using Shiteng controllers for AGV-robotic arm coordination.
3. Development & Integration: Lowering Barriers
-
Modular Design
-
Decoupled functions (navigation/obstacle avoidance/scheduling), supports custom algorithms
-
Shiteng’s low-code platform enables visual motion parameter configuration (e.g., acceleration curves)
-
-
Complete Toolchain
-
Simulation tools (3D scene modeling), OTA remote upgrades
-
Cuts development cycles from 6 months to 2 months vs. traditional solutions
-
4. Lifecycle Costs: Beyond Purchase Price
5. Safety & Reliability: Non-Negotiables
-
Functional Safety: SIL3/PLe certified (e.g., Shiteng SSA4 series)
-
Redundancy: Dual encoders ensure zero motion control errors
-
Real-Time Monitoring: Triple protection (current/temperature/vibration) with emergency stop triggers
6. Technical Support: Ensuring Continuous Operation
