AGILOX ODM

What it's for

The AGILOX ODM is a compact AMR transport robot with a payload of up to 300 kg, offered by Austria's AGILOX Automation, which has been operating since 2015; it carries crates of parts from the store by the hall to the assembly stations. The drive is fully electric, and the fleet is run by the X-SWARM system, in which the robots communicate directly with each other, with no central master computer.

One application is listed: compact transport of small loads. The target groups are industry and manufacturing.

In a factory the ODM carries part bins, semi-finished goods and tools between stations where space is limited and aisles are narrow. In a warehouse it can feed production lines and move smaller load units between zones. The manufacturer does not give height, weight or range, so we do not know whether the robot will fit under a particular rack or through a particular door. That is the first question for the distributor.

The practical benefit of swarm navigation is that growing the fleet with more units does not require rebuilding the control infrastructure. By comparison, competing AMR platforms such as MiR or Omron usually rely on centralized fleet management. For a general picture of this class of robot, see the article “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”.

Who it's for

A good fit: production plants looking for flexible internal transport of smaller loads that do not want to invest in a centralized fleet-control system. Companies that start with two or three robots and want to add more gradually. Buyers who value local support: in Poland the robot is offered by ASTOR Sp. z o.o., with a showroom in Krakow.

Not a good choice for: plants moving full pallets. Up to 300 kg is too little, so reach for the AGILOX OCF (1,500 kg). Order-picking warehouses where the robot has to walk along with a worker through the aisles; that kind of task is handled by robots such as the Locus Origin. Companies that want to start from a list price: you cannot avoid an individual quote. Buyers who want full technical data before a conversation: height, weight and range have to come from the distributor.

Deployments

What we do have is a confirmed sales channel: ASTOR Sp. z o.o. is the authorized AGILOX distributor and runs the "ASTOR Robotics Center" showroom in Krakow. It is a good place to see the robot in action before deciding.

Worldwide, the manufacturer names Siemens, BMW, Bosch and Daimler as customers; those figures cover the whole range, not only the ODM. For context on the category: other brands also offer light AMRs in Poland, including the Pudu T300 and MiR models. We have gathered information on who does robotics in Poland in the text “Polish Robotics Companies”.

The closest in function is the MiR250: an AMR rated to 250 kg, with a dead weight of 94 kg and the price on request from MiR. MiR is widely known, but unlike AGILOX it uses centralized fleet management, according to the description we have.

The Pudu T300 carries 300 kg like the ODM, complies with ISO 3691-4, drives without predefined routes, and its price is PLN 67,527 (≈ EUR 15,450). It is available in Poland, though the price is worth confirming with the distributor. It is the only one of these options where you can see the price straight away.

From its own family you can pick the AGILOX ONE if the ODM turns out to be too small, or the AGILOX OCF for heavy pallets.

For order picking in a warehouse the Locus Origin takes a different approach: a 36 kg payload and a RaaS (robots-as-a-service) subscription model. It is a different class of task, but is often considered alongside transport AMRs.

AGILOX Automation GmbH of Leonding, Austria, has existed since 2015. The company built its position on the swarm concept: the robots cooperate without a central computer, and the fleet grows by adding units. The manufacturer touts fast charging of its LiFePO4 batteries in as little as about 3 minutes and claims more than 2,000 AMRs deployed worldwide. The ODM is the smallest of the four models we cover (alongside the OCF, OFL and ONE), intended for lighter loads. We have no launch date or later generations for it, so we give no versions. In Poland it has been officially available since 2024, when ASTOR Sp. z o.o. took over distribution.
