卡塔尔国家邮政服务提供商卡塔尔邮政订购了一套基于自主移动机器人(AMR)技术的新型包裹分拣系统，该系统由浙江立镖机器人有限公司开发和提供。
Qatar’s national postal services provider Qatar Post has placed an order for a new parcel sortation system based on autonomous mobile robot (AMR) technology developed and supplied by Libiao Robotics.
新系统的安装工作将于本月展开，预计四周内完成。过去，包裹分拣一般依靠固定的倾斜托盘和基于交叉带输送机的分拣系统，而诸如“小黄人”系列分拣机器人的出现，无疑为此提供了一种新的选择。
Installation of the new system is set to commence this month and is expected to be completed in four weeks. Sortation robots – such as Libiao’s ‘Mini Yellow’ series – provide an alternative to the fixed tilt-tray and crossbelt conveyor-based sortation systems that have historically been used within parcel service operations.
分拣机器人具有高效和柔性的特点，而且，在处理相同数量的包裹时，它所占用的面积要比传统输送机更小。此外，基于AMR技术的分拣系统没有固定的基础设施要求，其模块化设计提供了高扩展性，用户在需要时可以随时添加机器人，以实现灵活应对波峰大订单的目的。
Designed to be cost-effective and flexible, sortation robots require a smaller floor area within which to operate than a conveyor-based sorter to achieve the same parcel throughput. Furthermore, with no fixed infrastructure requirements, modular AMR-based systems are scalable and, because additional robots can be introduced as and when they are required, they offer the flexibility needed to cope with any spikes in throughput.
立镖“小黄人”AMR分拣技术已在中东多个地点投入使用。比如，在迪拜，156台立镖分拣机器人帮助BFL集团将原有的中央履约仓转变为机器人自动分拣设施，其仓储自动化技术有效地减少了停工时间，同时提高了生产效能，优化了作业流程。又比如，在以色列，配送和包裹快递公司Cheetah集团采用了立镖t-sort解决方案，搭建双层平台，并配备了200台机器人和1000余个格口。
Libiao’s ‘Mini Yellow’ AMR sortation technology is in operation at a number of sites in the Middle East. In Dubai, for example, the introduction of 156 Libiao robots has allowed the Brands For Less (BFL) Group to transform its central fulfillment center into a robotics-operated sorting facility. Downtime has decreased while productivity and workflow efficiency have increased since the switch to robotic warehouse technology. Meanwhile, in Israel, distribution and parcels courier company Cheetah Group has installed a two-layer Libiao sortation solution featuring 200 robots that deliver to over 1,000 destination chutes.
