  • Page 12: Safety Awareness

    Component Overview section of the robot operation and maintenance manual. Personnel present in a facility with OTTO Motors products need to be made aware or be accompanied by personnel who are familiar with the specific risks and hazards associated with automated mobile robots.
  • Page 13: Facility Conditions

    OTTO Lifter MkIV - OMM-000108 • Personnel should be aware that OTTO Motors LiDAR safety scanners are laser products rated class 1/1M. Personnel must not look directly at the laser beam source. • Personnel should keep all loose clothing and body parts away from robots, accessories, attachments, and payloads, while they are in autonomous operation.
  • Page 14: Payload Maximums And Stability

    For additional information on the operating environment conditions, refer to the System Specifications in the product operation and maintenance manual. • OTTO Motors robots use LiDAR with a wavelength of 905 nanometers, and are designed to operate indoors free of direct sunlight. Infrared light sources (including sunlight, light curtains, welding) may interfere with the operation of robots when shone directly into the robot's optical sensors.
  • Page 15: Battery Handling

    Refer to the robot Safety Configuration document for the footprint dimensions. OTTO Motors autonomous mobile robots (AMR) use LiDAR to detect potential obstacles and obstacles located above a robot's LiDAR detection plane may not be perceived by a robot. Existing equipment in the facility could be rendered invisible to a robot due to an "overhang", for example a robot with wheels offset...
