AMS RPR (Rope Picker Robot) Automooring Solutions BV. (AMS), a Dutch company focused on the development of automated mooring systems. AMS has more then 100+ years combined mooring expertise, being a spin off from Mampaey offshore industries we have gained experience using traditional mooring and advanced new mooring technics. The AMS Rope Picker Robot (AMS-RPR) is a breakthrough key enabling technology to solve predominantly the safety risk while mooring a ship. Our patented technology is a revolution within the world of shipping actively contributing to important issues such as reducing the global CO2 footprint and operating expenses. The AMS-RPR, a state of the art robotic arm which is industry 4.0 ready. Our arm is able to recognize any bollard mounted on a ship or quayside due to the special developed AI software integrated into the system which is in constant connection with the cloud and enables the system to be self-learning and become more intelligent with each mooring. The arm is operated from a (mobile) tablet or screen which can be on the bridge or quay-side while pressing the moor command. The whole process is automated which makes operating the mooring arm an easy operation. As the arm is able to work under any given weather conditions mooring becomes safer, quicker and greener. Mooring forces up to 200 KN per mooring rope aren’t an issue. As our systems are modular we have a tailormade client solution. With a lifespan of at least 30 years and limited maintenance the AMS-RPR is your mooring solution. With the AMS-RPR your company is able to increase efficiency due to the fact it is operated from the bridge and or quayside by one person activating the arm by pressing the moor button, safety increases and crucial time is won.
