OTTO Motors :: Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) Designed for Industrial Material Handling

OTTO Motors (part of Rockwell Automation) is a leading North American manufacturer of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) designed for industrial material handling. Headquartered in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, OTTO has established itself as one of the most experienced and widely deployed AMR providers in the world, with millions of production hours logged in mission-critical manufacturing environments. The company focuses on delivering reliable, high-performance robots that move parts, materials, and finished goods efficiently in dynamic factory settings, helping manufacturers reduce labor dependency, increase throughput, and improve safety. OTTO’s solutions are used by global leaders in automotive, aerospace, electronics, life sciences, and heavy industry.

OTTO’s robots are engineered for industrial-grade reliability, with robust construction, advanced navigation, and seamless integration into existing production workflows. They operate safely alongside people and traditional equipment, supporting flexible, scalable automation without the need for fixed infrastructure like magnetic tape or wires.

Key Robot-Based Products:

• OTTO 100: A compact AMR ideal for lightweight transport (up to 150 kg payload). It excels in tight spaces and is commonly used for small parts delivery and machine tending.
• OTTO 600: A mid-sized robot with a 600 kg payload capacity, offering a strong balance of size, speed, and versatility for general material movement.
• OTTO 1200: Designed for heavier loads (up to 1,200 kg), suitable for transporting larger components and sub-assemblies.
• OTTO 1500: A high-capacity model capable of handling up to 1,900 kg, targeted at heavy industrial applications.
• OTTO Lifter: An autonomous lift robot that can raise and transport loads up to 1,200 kg, enabling vertical movement and integration with racks or workstations.

All OTTO robots are managed through the OTTO Fleet Manager, a powerful software platform that provides centralized control, traffic management, real-time monitoring, and optimization for large robot fleets. The system integrates deeply with PLCs, MES, and ERP systems, enabling true Industry 4.0 connectivity. OTTO emphasizes safety (ISO 3691-4 compliant), high uptime, and rapid ROI, with many customers reporting significant productivity gains and reduced material handling costs.
