Amid the buzzers, lights, and mechanical marvels, AUTOMATE 2024 MūL Technologies of Mequon demonstrated the capabilities of its MARC®, voted "Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin." by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce and Johnson Financial Groupby.

AUTOMATE is the largest solutions-based showcase of automation in North America.

Equipped with a combination of 3D Cameras, Lasers and Proximity Sensors it creates complete view of its surroundings.

Hyper-aware, the new cart can be positioned, and routes and wait times throughout a plant can be remembered to deliver and retrieve items autonomously along its route.

MARC® - Mobile Autonomous Rrobotic Cart unveiled at AUTOMATE 2024

AUTOMATE 2024, the annual showcase for cutting-edge automation, where MūL Technologies has introduced the MARC® Autonomous Cart System, a revolutionary technology poised to redefine operations in warehouses and production floors. Here's what sets this system apart from other autonomous transport solutions.

Fast Setup, Immediate Operation

One of the key highlights of the MARC® Autonomous Cart System is its rapid setup time. Within just 10 minutes, it's up and running, ready to start transporting goods efficiently. There's no need for complicated configurations or specialized adjustments, allowing companies to reap its benefits quickly.

No Need for IT Overhaul

Designed for seamless adoption, the MARC® Autonomous Cart System requires no changes to existing infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive IT involvement. This plug-and-play solution can be integrated with minimal disruption, simplifying its rollout in various operational environments.

Self-Guided and Efficient

The system’s self-guided navigation ensures it can maneuver through dynamic environments. It continuously assesses its surroundings, avoiding obstacles in real-time and optimizing its routes. This means fewer disruptions to workflow and higher productivity across the board.

Strong Security Measures

With cyber threats rising, the MARC® Autonomous Cart System alleviates internet security concerns by eliminating the need for wireless network connections. This ensures sensitive data remains secure and minimizes the risk of external threats, providing extra peace of mind for companies.

Cost-Efficient and Quick ROI

One of the most appealing aspects is its cost-effectiveness. By streamlining internal transport logistics, the system helps businesses achieve a rapid return on investment. This combination of efficiency and security makes the MARC® Autonomous Cart System a compelling choice for any organization seeking to improve productivity while controlling costs.

At AUTOMATE 2024, this new system highlights a forward-thinking approach to automation, showcasing how smart design and adaptability can create a new standard in logistics. The MARC® Autonomous Cart System has set a precedent for efficient, secure, and obstacle-free operations that could soon be commonplace in facilities worldwide.
