Inside Omron’s Next-Generation LD Mobile Robots

OMRON is betting on software and safety differentiation, not humanoids, while launching new LD150/LD300 AMRs targeting pharma growth amid rising Chinese competition.

• New LD150/LD300 AMRs: OMRON is replacing its longtime LD60/90/250 line with LD150 and LD300, shipping before year-end, featuring 360° safety LiDAR coverage, wireless fast charging (~30 min vs ~4 hrs), and a modular PLC-accessible design for easier servicing.
• Mixed fleets stay compatible: New robots share the current shortwave protocol and fleet manager with legacy LDs, and adaptation plates let integrators reuse existing toppers (conveyors, lifters, cobots).
