Oceaneering Mobile Robotics

Automating the Plastic and Rubber Sectors

Improve internal material flow, increase efficiency, and support safer operations with autonomous mobile robotics designed for plastic and rubber manufacturing and warehousing environments.

Automation for Plastic and Rubber Manufacturing and Distribution

Plastic and rubber manufacturers operate complex, high‑volume operations that require reliable movement of raw materials, work‑in‑process, and finished goods across production, assembly, and warehouse environments. Variability in product mix, load types, and production schedules places constant pressure on internal logistics to remain efficient, predictable, and cost‑effective.

Supporting Efficient Material Flow Across Operations

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) support plastic and rubber operations by automating repetitive internal transport tasks and creating consistent material flow between production and logistics areas. These environments often involve frequent movement of heavy, bulky, or irregular loads across multiple process steps, where manual handling can introduce delays, safety risks, and inconsistency. By supporting controlled, repeatable transport across key workflows, autonomous systems help increase throughput, improve safety, and adapt more easily to changing operational demands.

Common Automated Workflows

  • Truck unloading to warehouse storage
  • Movement of raw materials from warehouse or storage to production lines
  • Transfer of finished goods from production to warehouse
  • Order staging for outbound shipping
  • Trailer staging and loading operations

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Oceaneering Mobile Robotics systems are well suited for plastic and rubber manufacturing and warehousing operations that require frequent, repeatable movement of materials between storage, production, and shipping areas. Typical applications include transporting raw materials to molding or extrusion lines, moving work‑in‑process between production stages, transferring finished goods to warehouse storage, and staging orders for outbound shipping. Our systems are designed to support operations where product mix, load types, and production schedules change regularly.

Oceaneering mobile robots are designed to transport the load carriers commonly used in plastic and rubber environments, including plastic bulk containers, tube steel containers, knock‑down containers, wire containers, dunnage containers, wood and plastic pallets, and corrugated steel bins. System selection is matched to load weight, dimensions, and handling requirements to ensure safe, controlled transport across production and logistics workflows.

Oceaneering offers three mobile robot systems commonly used in plastic and rubber operations.
The UniMover is used for under‑ride transport of carts, trolleys, and lightweight load carriers in production‑adjacent areas. The CompactMover is suited for pallet and fork‑based transport in tighter spaces where maneuverability is critical. The MaxMover autonomous forklift is used for heavier palletized loads and longer transport routes between warehouse, production, and shipping areas.

These systems can operate individually or as part of a combined solution. 

Yes. Our mobile robotics systems are designed to adapt to changing production volumes, product mixes, and workflows. Routes, missions, and system configurations can be adjusted as operational needs evolve, enabling plastic and rubber manufacturers to maintain consistent material flow without reworking facility layouts or adding fixed infrastructure.

No. Our autonomous mobile robots use infrastructure‑free navigation and typically do not require permanent modifications to floors or facility layouts, allowing deployment with minimal disruption.

By automating the movement of heavy, bulky, or irregular loads, Oceaneering mobile robots reduce manual handling and forklift traffic in active production and warehouse areas. Our systems are designed to operate around people and equipment using integrated sensing and navigation technologies that support predictable movement and collision avoidance, helping create safer, more controlled internal logistics.
