igus Unveils Affordable AMR Solutions to Accelerate Factory Automation

SINGAPORE - Aug. 27, 2026 - PRLog -- igus, the global leader in Low Cost Automation, is redefining factory logistics with the launch of the ReBeLMove Pro Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) and the ReBeL Pallet Mover. Introduced at LogiMAT, these innovative automation solutions enable manufacturers to achieve smarter, more efficient material handling without the high costs typically associated with autonomous robotics.

For many companies, the vision of a fully automated factory remains out of reach due to expensive AMR systems, costly system integrators and recurring software licence fees. Addressing these challenges, igus now offers ready-to-use AMR solutions that can be deployed within a day and cost significantly less than traditional alternatives.

At the heart of the launch is the ReBeLMove Pro, a modular, highly flexible mobile robot platform priced at under €40,000. Designed for fast implementation, it combines integrated navigation software, optional VDA 5050-compliant fleet management, REST API connectivity and web app control, all without additional licence costs. With a payload capacity of 250kg, speeds of up to 2m/s, and configurable superstructures for multiple applications, the ReBeLMove Pro provides manufacturers with a scalable and future-ready material handling automation solution.

A key differentiator is igus' commitment to eliminating hidden costs. Unlike many competing systems that require third-party software and integration services, the ReBeLMove Pro includes built-in software and intuitive operation, making factory automation accessible even for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Developed and proven within igus' own production facilities in Cologne, the platform is available in multiple variants, including the Hook Trolley, Pick by Light, Lifter, and Conveyor versions. These solutions improve workflow efficiency, reduce manual transport tasks and support a rapid return on investment, often within 12 to 18 months.

Complementing the AMR range is the new ReBeL Pallet Mover, an autonomous forklift designed to optimise pallet transport. By reducing component complexity by nearly 50% and integrating a centrally positioned safety system, igus delivers a highly reliable and cost-efficient alternative to conventional automated forklifts. Available with payload capacities of 300kg, 1,400kg and 1,500kg, the system is designed to help manufacturers address ongoing labour shortages while improving warehouse productivity.

Both solutions are supported by RBTX.com, the igus marketplace for simple automation, where customers can access robotics components, complete systems and expert guidance. Through its combination of affordability, modularity, licence-free software and rapid deployment, igus is making intelligent intralogistics automation a practical reality for manufacturers of all sizes.
