RMGroup appoints AMR/AGV specialist

In a move designed to add impetus to the growth and development of their AMR/AGV offering, leading robotics and automation company, RMGroup, has recently appointed Paul Smith as product manager – mobile robotics and automation. He brings nearly 30 years of comparable experience to the role, working mainly for a leading lift truck manufacturer and managing their AGV interests.

A software engineering graduate, he was also responsible for the design, delivery and support of the firmware of PLC, HMI and technicians’ programming tools, for vehicle behavioural control systems, integrated on over 1,500 vehicles globally. In his new role, Paul Smith will be providing technical and specialist knowledge to deliver appropriate AMR/AGV solutions to a varied customer base. Since ABB’s acquisition of ASTI Mobile Robotics Group (ASTI) last year, and the creation of an AMR division, as a distributor partner, RMGroup has since benefited from increased product portfolio integration.
