Robot Arms, AMRs & EOATs

Glass Handling Robots & Material Handling Solutions

Building a smarter glass fabrication operation requires more than robotics alone—it requires the right combination of technologies working together to improve productivity, safety and production flow. SMART Automation Solutions™ by HHH Equipment Resources combines heavy-duty industrial robot arms, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and advanced end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) to create intelligent automation systems tailored to your operation.

Industrial robot arms deliver the precision, reach and lifting capacity needed to automate demanding fabrication processes, while AMRs optimize material movement between workstations to eliminate bottlenecks and keep production moving efficiently. Custom-engineered EOATs complete the system by safely gripping, positioning and transporting glass with the accuracy required for a wide range of products and applications. Together, these technologies help reduce manual handling, improve throughput, increase safety and create a scalable foundation for smarter manufacturing.

Heavy-Duty Glass Handing Robot Arm

Our KR FORTEC industrial robot arm is a high-performance robotic system capable of handling payloads up to 500 kg while maintaining exceptional positioning accuracy. Designed for demanding material handling applications, the glass handling robot combines high payload capacity, long reach, low maintenance requirements and energy-efficient operation.

When paired with HHH’s advanced glass-specific EOAT systems, robotic handling solutions can automate loading, unloading, machine tending, glass transfer, stacking, storage operations and process-to-process material movement.

Every robotic automation solution is engineered around the application—not adapted from a generic glass automation package—ensuring optimal performance.

Key Capabilities

• Payload capacities up to 500 kg
• Reach up to 3,750 mm
• High repeatability for precision glass handling
• Energy-efficient operation
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• Scalable integration into new or existing fabrication lines

Intelligent Material Movement with Advanced AMRs

Moving material between fabrication processes is one of the most common sources of production bottlenecks. SMART Automation Solutions™ incorporates Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) to automate material movement between cutting, edging, drilling, washing, tempering, storage and packaging operations, helping eliminate bottlenecks, improve production flow and support just-in-time material delivery throughout the facility.

The KMP Autonomous Mobile Robot uses advanced SLAM navigation, precision positioning, QR-code identification, 3D cameras and intelligent charging management to safely transport materials throughout dynamic production environments. With payload capacities up to 1,500 kg and operating times of up to 10 hours per charge, the system is designed to support high-demand manufacturing and logistics operations.

Common Applications

• Material transport between fabrication processes
• Automated line and workstation replenishment
• Intelligent storage and retrieval operations
• Point-to-point glass transport
• Warehouse and inventory movement
• SMART factory workflow optimization

Key Benefits

• Reduced manual transport requirements
• Improved production flow and throughput
• Increased operational flexibility
• Enhanced material traceability
• Safer material movement throughout the facility
• Scalable integration into existing or new facilities

Advanced End-of-Arm Tools

End-of-arm tools (EOAT) often mean the difference between successful automation and costly handling issues. While industrial glass handling robots provide the motion, the EOAT is responsible for safely gripping, transporting, positioning and releasing glass throughout the production process.

SMART Automation Solutions™ utilizes advanced glass-specific EOAT designs engineered to handle a wide range of products, including oversized glass, coated glass, laminated glass and delicate surfaces. Through intelligent vacuum systems, pressure monitoring and application-driven tooling design, EOAT technology helps reduce breakage, improve handling consistency and expand the range of processes that can be automated.

Key Benefits

• Reduced glass breakage and handling damage
• Improved consistency and product quality
• Support for multiple glass types and sizes
• Increased automation flexibility
• Reduced manual handling and operator risk

Because every fabrication environment is different, HHH evaluates glass types, dimensions, production requirements and workflow constraints to develop custom EOAT solutions designed specifically for each application.
