Yes. APIs allow task control, status feedback, and traceability.
Yes, with elevator and building system integration.
Sensor fusion and docking logic ensure precise positioning before lifting.
Lifting is monitored with safety scanners, speed limits, and controlled safety logic.
Yes, provided mechanical compatibility; adapters or custom interfaces can be used.
They are commonly used for production lines, WIP transport, and warehouse logistics.
Lift AMRs support payloads from 150 kg up to 600 kg.
A Lift AMR is an autonomous mobile robot with an integrated lifting mechanism to transport carts, racks, or pallets.
Yes. Fleet management supports multiple robots with traffic control and task allocation.
Charging is automatic via docking stations or opportunity charging during operation.
Typical docking accuracy is around ±10 mm, suitable for automated transfer stations.
Industrial floors such as concrete or epoxy are supported, including small slopes within specifications.
Cube AMRs are available in variants ranging from 150 kg up to 600 kg, depending on configuration.
Yes. Integration is possible via I/O, APIs, or industrial fieldbus connections.
A Cube AMR is a compact autonomous mobile robot designed for internal transport of boxes, carriers, or pallets in industrial environments.
Yes. Their compact footprint and small turning radius make them suitable for tight layouts and existing facilities.
They include 360° obstacle detection, emergency stops, speed zoning, and safe human–robot interaction features.
Cube AMRs use LiDAR-based SLAM navigation with real-time obstacle detection and do not require floor modifications.

Fairino cobots stand out for their affordability and open source software, allowing complete customization without vendor lock-in.
Thanks to the low purchase price — often just 1/4 of well-known brands — and the open software that avoids license costs, FAIRINO cobots typically reach ROI in less than one year. This makes automation accessible even for small and mid-sized businesses.
They are popular in automotive, healthcare, electronics, research, and education, but their versatility makes them adaptable to many fields.
FAIRINO cobots are designed for safe human collaboration. They feature configurable collision detection, emergency stop functions, and a safe-speed mode. This meets international safety standards and eliminates the need for expensive cages, reducing both cost and setup time.
There are virtually no limits: common applications: pick & place, machine tending, palletizing, screwdriving, testing, gluing.
The cobots have all required certifications. CE marked; compliant with ISO 10218 & ISO/TS 15066.
Most applications can be operational within hours. The intuitive web-based programming and drag-teaching functions mean you don’t need specialized engineers. Your team can quickly adapt the cobot to new tasks, ensuring maximum flexibility on the shop floor.
Plug-and-play; quick setup, application-dependent. The cobot is pre-calibrated. Up and running within 15 minutes.
No. The cobot can be fully programmed and operated from a laptop/PC. The pendant is optional—handy in some cases (on-floor jogging, quick setup, or service), but not required.
Not necessarily. The system comes with an intuitive interface, but those with coding skills can fully unlock customization through the open source platform.
Absolutely. Fairino cobots are priced significantly lower than traditional robots, making them budget-friendly for startups and SMEs.
Open source provides transparency, flexibility, and community support—you can modify software to suit your exact workflow without costly licenses.
Yes. FAIRINO cobots support standard communication protocols such as Modbus TCP and Profinet and include an open SDK for C++, Python, and C#. This makes it easy to connect with existing PLCs, CNC machines, and vision systems without being locked into a closed ecosystem.
Yes, they include advanced safety features such as force-limiting sensors and emergency stop mechanisms, making them ideal for human-cobot collaboration.
