— Why Novus Carry —

Most AMR vendors assemble. Novus engineers.

Hardware from one supplier, navigation software licensed from another, fleet management bolted on top. That is the typical AMR stack. Novus builds every layer in-house: the chassis, AI stack, FMS, and analytics platform. One team, accountable for the whole system.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are autonomous mobile robots?

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are self-navigating industrial robots that move materials across a facility without fixed tracks, wires, or a human driver. They use 3D LiDAR, cameras, and onboard software to map their environment, detect obstacles in real time, and reroute dynamically. That ability to think on the move is what makes AMRs a fit for modern factories and warehouses where layouts and workloads change often.

How do autonomous mobile robots work?

An AMR works by combining perception, planning, and control in a single onboard system. LiDAR and cameras scan the surroundings, SLAM software builds and updates a live map, a path planner picks the best route, and safety scanners intervene if a person or object enters the path. A fleet management system coordinates multiple robots so they do not collide, share charging, and complete tasks in the right sequence.

What is the difference between AGV and AMR?

The difference between AGV and AMR is navigation. AGVs (automated guided vehicles) follow fixed physical guides such as magnetic tape, wires, or QR codes. If something blocks the path, they stop and wait. AMRs use LiDAR and SLAM to build their own map and reroute around obstacles in real time. AGVs are better for stable, repetitive routes. AMRs are better for dynamic environments with changing layouts and multi-SKU flows.

What payload can a Novus CARRY handle?

Novus CARRY AMRs handle payloads from 250 kg to 2,000 kg across five variants. The CARRY-250 moves loads up to 250 kg through narrow aisles and tight assembly cells. The CARRY-500 handles line-feeding and mid-range production logistics. The CARRY-1000 covers pallets, bins, and fixtures for automotive, HVAC, and warehousing. The CARRY-1500 is built for paint shop and finished-goods pallet transfer. The CARRY-2000 is engineered for heavy industrial logistics like battery packs and paint shop skids.

What is the cost of an autonomous mobile robot in India?

The cost of an autonomous mobile robot in India depends on payload, navigation stack, software features, and integration scope. Entry-level units typically start in the range of ₹20 to ₹30 lakhs; heavier or highly integrated fleets scale higher. Most operators evaluate AMRs on total cost of ownership rather than sticker price, factoring in labour savings, uptime, and throughput. Payback in Indian deployments typically lands between 18 and 24 months.

How long does an AMR deployment take?

An AMR deployment usually takes four to twelve weeks. A single-cell pilot with two or three robots can go live in four weeks. A full facility rollout with WMS and MES integration, safety validation, and operator training usually runs eight to twelve weeks. Novus CARRY uses natural navigation, so no floor markers or infrastructure changes are needed, which keeps timelines short.

Are AMRs safe to work alongside humans?

Yes. Novus CARRY AMRs are engineered for human-robot collaboration. They ship with 3D LiDAR, 360-degree safety scanners, visual and audio alerts, emergency stops, and speed control zones. They slow down when a person is nearby and stop before a collision. All Novus CARRY AMRs are tested against international safety standards for collaborative environments.

Which industries use autonomous mobile robots?

Autonomous mobile robots are used across automotive, electronics, semiconductor, solar PV, pharmaceuticals, FMCG, 3PL and warehousing, and retail. Novus CARRY AMRs are in production with customers including Volvo Eicher, Asian Paints, and John Deere. The common thread is repetitive material movement, from assembly line feed to intralogistics to finished-goods dispatch.

What is a Fleet Management System for AMRs?

A Fleet Management System (FMS) is the software that orchestrates multiple AMRs as one coordinated fleet. It handles task allocation, traffic control, charging schedules, and priority routing in real time. The Novus FMS mixes AMRs, AGVs, and autonomous forklifts in a single fleet and is VDA 5050 compliant, so third-party robots can be added without rework.

What makes Novus CARRY AMRs different from other AMR solutions?

Novus CARRY AMRs are built end-to-end in-house. Hardware, software, AI stack, and fleet orchestration are all engineered by Novus, not sourced from third parties. That vertical integration means faster customisation, deeper WMS, MES, and ERP integration, and a single accountable partner for the deployment. With 1,400+ robots deployed, 150+ patents, and 10 million kilometres of autonomous navigation, Novus Carry brings a long, proven operating record to every deployment.
