Why is Interroll relying on AMRs?
Interroll is the global market leader for high-quality products in the field of material flow. High-precision techno-polymer injection molded parts are manufactured at its site in Ticino. In order to make its own production as efficient as the solutions it provides for its customers, Interroll was looking for a flexible link between permanently installed conveyor stations that did not require any structural changes (such as rails).
What challenges had to be overcome?
Production at Interroll spans several floors, which makes material flow extremely complex.
Manual barriers:
Transport between production and logistics required a lot of manpower.
Complex environment:
People and other equipment are constantly moving around in the dynamic factory—rigid automation was impossible.
Vertical transport:
The solution had to be able to autonomously call and use elevators to connect the different floors.
What does MiR's solution look like?
Interroll developed a special LCP AMR top module (a conveyor belt attachment) that is perfectly matched to the MiR250.
Seamless coupling
The MiR250 docks precisely with the LCP module on stationary conveyor belts and transfers or receives material fully automatically.
Autonomous floor travel
The robot navigates independently through the building and uses the existing elevators to move materials between floors.
Data-driven optimization
Interroll uses MiR Insights cloud software to identify bottlenecks and optimize mission processes in real time.
Plug-and-play integration
The entire fleet was integrated into the existing environment without rails or floor markings.
Why the MiR250 was the ideal choice for Interroll
Long operating time
Thanks to efficient charging management and process optimization, the robot is in operation for an average of 22.3 hours per day.
Enormous range
Since the introduction of MiR Insights, the robot has been traveling approximately 106 km daily within the factory.
Maximum security
The precise sensor technology enables use in highly dynamic areas where humans and machines interact safely.
The implementation enables the workforce to focus on tasks that require human expertise, while the MiR250 takes care of routine logistical tasks.

Maximum efficiency through data-driven intralogistics
The solution at Interroll impressively demonstrates how AMRs function as a flexible link. By reducing manual handling and utilizing vertical transport routes, Interroll was able to massively increase productivity. The combination of hardware (MiR250 + LCP) and software (MiR Insights) ensures a fast ROI and a future-proof workflow that runs smoothly 24/7.
