Key benefits of the R5 Pro Robot include:
- Enhanced Productivity: Customers can reduce the number of Robots required on the same grid by up to 15%, enabling better routing and enhanced system efficiency.
- Continuous Operations: The R5 Pro’s LTO (Lithium-Titanium Oxide) battery unlocks faster charging speeds, improving individual Robot availability during multi-shift operations.
- Space and Cost Optimization: R5 Pro requires 83% less charging space, optimizing warehouse use while reducing electrical infrastructure costs.
