Boost productivity, streamline operations, and enhance safety with Omron’s latest innovation, the OL-450S.

Pleasanton, California — April 20, 2025 — OMRON Robotics and Safety Technologies has released the OL-450S, a low-profile, omni-directional Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed to optimize workflows, maximize efficiency, and improve safety in material handling. Featuring an integrated lifting plate, advanced navigation, and centralized fleet management, the OL-450S offers a complete solution for automating material transport in automotive, semiconductor and electronics, food and household goods, medical, and other fast-paced industries.

Streamlined and safe material handling

The OL-450S efficiently handles the transport of load carriers with a payload capacity of up to 450 kg and a lifting range from 108 to 308 mm. Its integrated lifting plate reduces customization investments and time-consuming engineering. This allows businesses to improve operational efficiency without infrastructure changes. Safety is at the core of the OL-450S, featuring ISO 3691-4 compliance (except clause 4.12), dynamic braking, and intelligent obstacle avoidance.

Advanced navigation and wireless charging

Equipped with 360° safety coverage and advanced omni-directional drive, the OL-450S navigates complex layouts with ease—enabling tight maneuvers, lateral movement, and in-place rotation to meet diverse navigation needs. Its software-based navigation logic and strategically positioned sensors enhance localization and support safe, autonomous operation in dynamic environments. With wireless charging, the OL-450S offers flexible deployment, simplified management, and uninterrupted workflows, maximizing uptime and productivity.

“Its low-profile design, combined with its powerful navigation and fleet management capabilities, makes it an ideal solution for businesses looking to automate their material transport processes and improve safety and productivity.”

Centralized fleet management for maximum efficiency

As with all OMRON AMRs, the OL-450S is managed by OMRON’s FLOW Core software, a centralized platform capable of managing fleets of up to 100 mobile robots with varying payload capacities. This enterprise-level system ensures seamless integration into existing infrastructure, enabling streamlined operations and optimal fleet performance.

“The OL-450S represents a significant advancement in autonomous material handling,” said Justin King, Vice President, Product Management and Marketing at OMRON Robotics and Safety Technologies. “Its low-profile design, combined with its powerful navigation and fleet management capabilities, makes it an ideal solution for businesses looking to automate their material transport processes and improve safety and productivity.”
