      FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

      GENERAL QUESTIONS

      What is Node?
      Node is a highly collaborative mobile robot with patented technology for high maneuverability and stability, equipped with sensors, software, and AI for real-time operations. It facilitates autonomous or manual material handling in industrial environments.
      What is the difference between an AMR robot and an AGV?
      AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) or automated forklifts move by following tracks, markers, or fixed guides. Node, instead, is an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) with AI: it maps the environment in 3D, avoids obstacles, and autonomously adapts to layout changes. This makes it more flexible and easier to integrate into industrial automation processes.
      What advantages does Node offer compared to other mobile robots?
      • Easy integration without infrastructure modifications.

      • Safe navigation even in unstructured environments thanks to multidirectional wheels and the sensor system.

      • Integrated digital platform for data analysis and process optimization.
      In which sectors can Node be used?
      Node is suitable for asset handling, internal logistics, quality control, maintenance, line ramp-up and commissioning, thanks to its flexibility and ability to adapt to different workflows. Therefore, Node is particularly relevant for the Manufacturing and Logistics sectors, as well as Retail, LargeScale Distribution, Healthcare, and Agriculture.
      What are the most frequent use cases for Node?
      Node is designed to support a wide range of industrial and logistics activities, acting as a reliable ally to improve process efficiency, safety, and flexibility. The most frequent use cases include:
      • Moving materials and equipment in environments such as workshops, warehouses, and production lines, reducing human effort and improving logistics flows.

      • Supporting quality and inspection operations, facilitating the transport of tools and visual inspection through data collected along the route.

      • Automating on-demand transport processes in dynamic contexts such as hospitals, stores, and industrial plants, where agile planning is essential.

      • Integration into maintenance and commissioning processes to facilitate the transfer of components and tools.

      • Direct collaboration with human operators for shared or assisted handling activities through ergonomic interfaces and manual modes (e.g. “follow me” function).

      What safety functions are integrated?
      The robot is equipped with laser scanners for complete environment detection, visual and acoustic signals, and an enabling button on the handle for safe manual activations. The advanced sensor system (depth cameras, 3D lidar, safety radar, and proximity sensors) ensures safe navigation even in complex and unstructured environments. In addition, the control circuits with safety functions are validated according to ISO standards for functional safety
      Is Node compliant with CE marking?
      Yes, Node complies with CE marking, which certifies that the robot meets all the safety, health, and environmental protection requirements established by the European Union for industrial products.
      Which CE regulations are applied to Node?
      Node complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, which defines the essential health and safety requirements for machinery used in the EU. In addition, specific standards are applied for electrical safety (EN 60204-1), electromagnetic compatibility, and risk assessment according to UNI EN ISO 2100:2010 and UNI ISO/TR 14121-2:2010.

      DETAILED QUESTIONS

      How is Node configured and started?
      Node is powered on and configured in a few intuitive steps via a 15-inch touchscreen, without the need for specific training or infrastructure modifications.
      How does Node integrate into the existing workflow?
      Node can be customized and easily integrated into company processes, supports both manual and autonomous modes, and provides operational data to improve efficiency.
      What maintenance is required?
      Routine maintenance includes wheel checks, software updates, and sensor inspections. In case of problems, the robot provides diagnostics through the interface.
      What environments can Node handle?
      It is designed for industrial environments, including those with imperfect surfaces, thanks to its stability and 3D perception capabilities.
      Does Node require specific training to use?
      No, the system is designed to be used without technical training, with intuitive interfaces and easily understandable signals.
      How does Node collect and use data?
      It collects mission data to provide useful insights for the continuous improvement of production processes. The data is displayed on screen and can also be downloaded.
      How does communication between the operator and the robot take place?
      Node is equipped with an intuitive human–machine interface (HMI), with light and sound signals that facilitate communication and increase confidence in using the robot. This ability to interact with humans in a simple and fast way allows Node to adapt to their needs, anticipating the most useful actions to improve efficiency in industrial processes.
