The battery pack onboard the SOTO contains eight Li-ion modules, each being a 25.6 V device storing up to 21 Ah of energy, resulting in total vehicle energy capacity of 168 Ah. The battery design comes with a nominal lifespan of 8000 charge/discharge cycles. Recharging cycles are carried out using inductive charging stations, chosen to further the practical autonomy of the SOTO vehicles. Inductive chargers eliminate the need for humans to physically approach and plug/ unplug charging connectors for every recharging session, and present less of a safety concern than the electrical exposure inherent to automated conductive charging. Inductive charging stations are installed in locations and quantities per the end-user’s specifications. To recharge SOTO from empty to full takes 1.6 hours (96 minutes). Compared with its operating endurance of eight hours, the company points out that this gives a 5:1 ratio of operation versus downtime – a statistic often used in combination with SLC throughput to inform the number of SOTOs on a factory floor if the customer wants to guarantee a rotation of units working at any given time per eighthour shift over a 24-hour cycle. Argo cargo With this, Magazino usually achieves an ROI of under three years in a twoshift operation in western EU countries, as well as roughly 60% cost savings on the customer’s part. “But, even more important for us than choosing safe and energy-efficient batteries was the concept of the drivebase,” Eldevik says. “It was critical that the robot could be engineered with an omnidirectional driving capability, because we knew SOTO would need to be able to manoeuvre through spaces that were narrow relative to its size. It would also need flexibility in how it could dock to different kinds of shelves and conveyors, including the capacity for sideways movement, for docking and transferring materials using its two side windows, and the gripper’s rotating motion. “That could only be achieved through omnidirectional driving. If you have differential steering, then you actually increase the minimum space needed for movement by a factor similar to that of SOTO’s width-to-length ratio – and its length is quite significant. “On top of that, the fact that SOTOs are meant for moving 240 kg of large SLCs at once – plus its own weight
