Innovation does not happen in an instant. It is built upon every challenge overcome, every operation carried out, and every lesson learnt and transformed into progress. It was precisely this journey that led to the creation of ATLoS 16.
Born from experience gained in an industrial context, this new generation of solutions represents much more than a simple technological upgrade. It is the natural evolution of a modular AMR platform designed to meet the demands of a constantly transforming industry, where efficiency, safety, flexibility and sustainability are not separate objectives, but form part of the same strategy.
Designed to support more complex operations, adapt to different industrial contexts and prepare companies for a future in which logistics will be increasingly autonomous, intelligent and interconnected, ATLoS 16 is the next step in this evolution.
THE CHALLENGE
The industrial logistics sector is currently facing a new reality. Transport flows are more demanding and operations are more dynamic. The need to respond quickly to market changes requires solutions that can evolve at the same pace. It is no longer possible for a single configuration to meet the needs of all industrial sectors. Different sectors have different cargo types, routes, infrastructure, and operational requirements.
It was precisely to address this diversity that ATLoS evolved its technology platform.
The objective was clear: to develop a modular AMR platform, flexible enough to keep pace with the evolution of industrial operations while maintaining high safety, efficiency and technological integration standards.
THE EVOLUTION OF THE ATLoS PLATFORM
The ATLoS 16 builds directly on the ATLoS 14, which was created by adapting a traditional lorry into a fully electric vehicle capable of both manual and autonomous driving.
To enable the significant modifications this modular AMR platform required, the ATLoS team developed a chassis from scratch. The new chassis allows more efficient load distribution, following a thorough study of the mounting points and positioning of the various components.
The platform’s two steering axles significantly simplify manoeuvrability in an industrial setting.
The solution features a customised cargo box designed for the secure transport of pallets, ensuring total stability during emergency braking.
Fitted with an automatic roller system, the cargo box enables efficient loading and unloading of consignments at automated docks. It has also been designed with two access doors, providing direct access to the dock without the need for additional manoeuvres. This configuration helps reduce cycle times and improve operational efficiency.
Recharging is provided by a wireless inductive charging system, which increases efficiency and reduces maintenance requirements. This ensures high operational availability, allowing the fleet to run continuously, 24/7.
Platform development
- Modular platform with different load capacities.
- Customised configuration of dimensions and range.
- Different types of load body.
- Side or front loading systems.
- Integration of rollers for automatic loading and unloading.
- Dual Mode capability (autonomous or manual driving, depending on the operational context).
TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO KEEP PACE WITH THE INDUSTRY
The evolution of the platform is not limited to the vehicle itself. All components have been developed to create smarter, safer, fully integrated logistics operations. Autonomous navigation is based on SLAM technology, enabling the vehicle to locate itself and move with precision using existing infrastructure elements.
The system incorporates 2D and 3D LiDAR sensors, radars, CCTV, safety encoders and other advanced systems to ensure continuous perception of the surrounding environment.
Meanwhile, the Fleet Management system coordinates the entire operation in real time, managing missions, priorities and telemetry. Integration with ERP, MES and WMS systems automates transport order processing and synchronises the entire logistics operation with other industrial processes.
Automatic battery charging during operational cycles reduces downtime, contributing to virtually continuous fleet availability.
Following technical validation, the platform can also operate on roads shared with conventional vehicles in certain industrial contexts, increasing the flexibility of the solution’s use.
A PLATFORM DESIGNED TO EVOLVE
ATLoS 16 is more than just a solution that meets current needs; it has been designed to keep pace with the evolution of the industry over time. Thanks to its modular architecture, new features can be incorporated, different transport configurations can be adapted to, and new challenges can be addressed without the need to redesign the entire solution.
This capacity for evolution makes for a more sustainable investment, preparing organisations for a continuously innovative industrial landscape. With each new feature added, the platform’s value increases, while its robustness, security and reliability remain intact.
BENEFITS FOR INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS
The platform’s evolution translates into tangible benefits for companies seeking to automate their logistics flows.
Greater adaptability
A modular platform allows the solution to be configured according to different operations, load capacities and industrial requirements.
Scalability
The architecture is designed to grow alongside the operation, enabling new vehicles and new tasks to be incorporated simply and efficiently.
Continuous operation
Automatic battery charging during operational cycles reduces downtime and increases fleet availability.
Enhanced safety
The combination of smart sensors, autonomous navigation and advanced safety systems contributes to safer and more predictable operations.
Intelligent Management
Fleet Management centralises the entire operation, offering continuous monitoring, traceability and real-time information to support decision-making.
Sustainability
100% electric solutions reduce emissions and operational noise, contributing to more efficient logistics in line with the industry’s decarbonisation targets.
THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES
Innovation is an ongoing process, not a destination. ATLoS 16 is another step towards creating a platform that can address the challenges of today’s industry and anticipate the needs of the industry of the future.
By combining engineering, artificial intelligence, autonomous mobility and digital integration, ATLoS continues to develop smart, efficient and sustainable industrial logistics solutions.
ATLoS 16 is more than just a new generation of autonomous vehicles; it represents a new generation of possibilities for the industry.
