SESTO’s AMRs Improve Internal Logistics Efficiency by Up to 25% on a Manufacturing Production Line

Autonomous mobile robots support stable material flow without disrupting production

A manufacturing company in Singapore faced increasing strain on internal material movement as production volume grew. Manual transport led to inconsistent delivery timing, congestion around workstations, and growing dependence on operators for repetitive logistics tasks.

To stabilize internal flow without redesigning existing layouts, the company deployed SESTO’s autonomous mobile robots to support material movement between production stations.

Service-Led Deployment in an Active Production Environment

SESTO worked closely with the customer to commission the system directly on the live production floor, ensuring production continued throughout deployment.

Services included:

  • Route validation and traffic behaviour tuning around active workstations
  • Docking and alignment checks to ensure consistent pickup and drop-off
  • Phased commissioning to avoid production disruption
  • On-site operator training to support predictable daily operation
Operational Impact

Following deployment:

  • Internal material movement efficiency improved by up to 25%
  • Delivery timing between stations became more consistent
  • Operator time spent on manual transport was reduced by approximately 20%
  • Congestion at shared work areas decreased during peak production hours

By reducing variability in internal logistics, the facility was able to maintain a steadier production rhythm while supporting higher throughput demands.

Designed for Manufacturing Reality

This deployment highlights how autonomous mobile robots can enhance internal logistics without forcing changes to existing processes.

Through service-led planning, commissioning, and optimisation, SESTO helps manufacturers improve material flow reliability while keeping production running.
