ANTS Series Material Handling Robot

The ANTS series from Guozi Robotics provides a versatile platform for lifting and handling operations across warehouse and production environments. Including the A10 and A10S models, these compact autonomous mobile robots deliver reliable material transport for healthcare facilities managing medical equipment and supply logistics.

Product Overview

Guozi designed the ANTS series as an adaptable handling solution for scenarios including production line logistics, warehouse material flow, and facility supply management. The robots feature integrated lifting mechanisms that enable automated pickup and delivery of carts, shelves, and standardized containers without human intervention.

The product family received TÜV Rheinland certification in 2025, validating compliance with international safety standards for deployment in environments where robots operate alongside human workers. This certification supports deployment in healthcare settings where safety requirements are particularly stringent.

Key Features

For healthcare warehouse and production line logistics, Guozi Robotics’ ANTS series handles loads up to 1,100 kg with built-in lifting mechanisms in a compact 1146×810×275 mm footprint certified by TÜV Rheinland in 2025.

• Integrated Lifting Mechanism: Built-in lifting device enables automated cart and shelf transport without additional equipment
• Compact Form Factor: Dimensions of 1146×810×275mm allow navigation through standard facility corridors
• Substantial Payload: Handles loads up to 1,100kg for heavy medical equipment and bulk supplies
• Open Interface Architecture: Seamlessly integrates with existing production and management systems across industries
• Mixed Traffic Safety: Operates safely in environments with human workers, facilitating gradual automation adoption
• TÜV Rheinland Certified: 2025 certification confirms compliance with AGV safety standards

Technical Specifications

For cart and shelf transport across healthcare facilities, the ANTS A10 and A10S handle 1,100 kg payloads over SLAM-based navigation with TÜV Rheinland 2025 CE certification for mixed-traffic environments.

Clinical Applications

The ANTS series addresses multiple healthcare logistics scenarios:

Medical Equipment Warehousing: The Picking Plus variant, deployed in healthcare warehouse settings, accommodates the varied shapes and sizes of medical equipment and supplies. The solution combines automated robot transport with human picking for complex items, improving overall warehouse efficiency.

Production Line Material Flow: In medical device manufacturing facilities, ANTS robots execute line-side handling tasks, delivering components to production stations and removing finished goods. The automated material distribution supports continuous production operations without manual transport labor.

Hospital Supply Management: The compact dimensions and lifting capability enable transport of medical supply carts through hospital corridors, supporting automated distribution of consumables, linens, and equipment between storage areas and clinical departments.

Regulatory Status

As industrial logistics equipment, ANTS robots do not require medical device registration. Healthcare deployments comply with applicable industrial safety standards and facility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes ANTS from other Guozi robot series?

ANTS robots specialize in lifting and handling operations with integrated lifting mechanisms, while SLIM series focuses on stacking and high-bay storage applications. ANTS provides a more compact solution suitable for line-side logistics and cart transport in space-constrained environments such as hospital corridors.

Can ANTS robots integrate with hospital information systems?

Yes, the open interactive interface allows integration with customer management systems across industries. In healthcare settings, ANTS can connect with hospital logistics management systems to receive task assignments and report delivery status for supply chain visibility.

What safety features protect patients and staff?

ANTS robots include obstacle detection and avoidance systems for safe operation in mixed traffic environments. The TÜV Rheinland certification validates safety system performance according to AGV standards. Operating speed and behavior can be configured based on specific deployment zone requirements.
