AMRs
improve scalability, safety of Mirgor’s intralogistics
Argentinian manufacturer replaced aging manually-driven technology with mobile robots and a fleet management system. Mike Oitzman • Editor, Robotics
Mirgor is an Argentinian technological company that manufactures and distributes consumer electronics and auto parts. It also exports agricultural commodities and oil seeds. Challenge Mirgor is based in the province of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, with factories in Rosario City and headquarters in Buenos Aires. The plant’s workers experienced different safety risks with the old, nearly manual supply system. The locomotive cars transported screens and rear television covers through busy routes with little order. Even before thinking about acquiring new technologies, the company believed there was no more efficient way to optimize its processes or scale them over time for future developments. “At Mirgor, we took the time to analyze what kind of automated solutions could be applied to repetitive tasks to ensure an uninterrupted workflow,” said Julio Haberle, plant manager, Mirgor. “MiR´s robotic systems have not only accelerated the tasks carried out in our facilities, but have also improved the safety of our workers and optimized the supply capacity of materials for our production line to the maximum.” The implementation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) was a great challenge that broke the paradigm of maintaining obsolete technologies or methods for many years due to being considered “functional.” Mirgor realized that, according to its type of material
