K.Hartwall\u2019s mobile robotic technologies, specifically the A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> FreeLift and Counter vehicles, offer Hy-Tek\u2019s customers a means of transporting unit loads without the need for an on-board operator and the use of specialized transfer stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cK.Hartwall\u2019s A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> solutions offer flexible, autonomous transport and elevation of various loads including GMA-style pallets, which are commonly used in the US market,\u201d said Collette Henn, Sr. Manager R&amp;D at Hy-Tek Intralogistics. \u201cThe agility, ease of maintenance, and safety features that include continuous safety scanning, speed adjustment, and obstacle avoidance make it an excellent choice for our customers&#8217; pallet and cage transfer needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>K.Hartwall\u2019s A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> FreeLift is compatible with many cages and Euro-style pallets and offers an omnidirectional drive system for manoeverability in the tightest of spaces. It also has the capability to stack loads, as the scissor-free lift design and pallet detection functionality automatically adjusts to skewed pallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With K.Hartwall\u2019s A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> Counter, Hy-Tek\u2019s customers across all industries will benefit from a fully electric mobile robot that has cantilevered forks and counterweight to move various load carriers like GMA pallets and cages. Ultimately, this solution will meet many of the needs of warehouses, distribution centers, and factories in the US market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe partnership with Hy-Tek is an important step for K.Hartwall to establish a local presence with the A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> mobile robots in the US market in addition to our already successful solutions like our roll cages, foldable cages, and Lean equipment,\u201d said K.Hartwall\u2019s Eero Heinonen, Head of Automation. \u201cHy-Tek has many years of experience in the field of logistics automation and has a nationwide commissioning and after-sales service. Now, in combination with K.Hartwall&#8217;s A-MATE<sup>TM<\/sup> mobile robots, which have already been proven successful in the European market, our US customers are getting the best possible entry into the world of efficient and flexible automated intralogistics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Hy-Tek Intralogistics<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in Columbus, OH, Hy-Tek Intralogistics is an automation technology integrator serving clients in diverse end markets and applications, including e-commerce, third-party logistics, and parcel.
