Autonomous Mobility with wheel.me
Flexible factory layouts without locking in fixed automation
ATTC Group has partnered with wheel.me to help manufacturers introduce autonomous mobility without committing too early to rigid automation or permanent layouts.
wheel.me’s autonomous wheels convert existing equipment, workstations, and modular systems into mobile units. Machines can move independently, reposition as demand changes, and evolve with your operation, without major infrastructure changes.
This makes wheel.me particularly suited to environments where volumes are growing, product mix is changing, or future automation decisions are still being evaluated.
Why use wheel.me
Traditional automation often delivers efficiency at the cost of flexibility. Once installed, layouts become fixed and expensive to change.
wheel.me takes a different approach. Movement comes first. Commitment comes later.
By integrating wheel.me into modular systems, ATC enables customers to:
-
Keep layout options open as operations scale
-
Improve material flow without major disruption
-
Trial new layouts before investing in fixed automation
-
Reduce rework and avoid costly redesigns
This approach reduces risk and removes the fear of “getting it wrong,” a key barrier in automation decisions.
Designed for modular, repeatable systems
ATC integrates wheel.me into modular, repeatable engineering solutions so that mobility supports flow rather than adding complexity.
Typical applications include:
-
Mobile workstations and assembly cells
-
Autonomous material delivery and kitting
-
Flexible line reconfiguration
-
Transitional layouts during expansion or process change
The result is a calmer, more adaptable factory where change is easier and improvement is continuous.
A practical approach to automation decisions
wheel.me works because it preserves choice.
Teams move faster when decisions are reversible. By enabling gradual adoption and visible progress, wheel.me supports better decision-making and sustained improvement rather than large, high-risk automation projects.
ATC ensures wheel.me is applied where it makes operational and commercial sense, aligned with both current needs and future automation strategies.
Is wheel.me right for you?
wheel.me is a strong fit if:
-
Your layout is evolving or likely to change
-
You want flexibility before committing to AGVs or fixed automation
-
You are scaling production in phases
-
Flow and adaptability matter more than fixed speed
If your operation is already fully stable and locked down, other solutions may be more appropriate. We will advise you honestly.
Frequent Questions
Wheel.me allows existing equipment and workstations to become mobile, providing flexibility to change factory layouts without major infrastructure changes, which helps adapt to growing volumes and changing product mixes.
Wheel.me converts stationary equipment into mobile units, enabling reconfigurable layouts, better material flow, and transitional setups during expansion or process changes, all supporting continuous improvement.
ATC Group’s solution is ideal for manufacturers with evolving layouts, those wanting flexibility before fixed automation, or scaling production in phases, especially when adaptability is more important than fixed speed.
Autonomous mobility in manufacturing refers to the use of mobile units or wheels that can move independently, allowing equipment and materials to be repositioned easily, increasing flexibility and reducing the need for fixed automation.
Flexibility allows factories to adapt quickly to changes in demand, product mix, or layout, reducing rework, avoiding costly redesigns, and supporting continuous improvement without long-term commitments.
Modular automation solutions enable gradual adoption, easier reconfiguration, lower risk, and better alignment with current and future operational needs, making them suitable for dynamic manufacturing environments.
