At Virya, the focus is on safety, reliability and sustainability with optimised solutions through autonomous platforms, says R Prahalad.

Industrial automation is transforming the way industries operate, making them more efficient, precise, and safe and material handling is no exception. Many industries are now moving towards autonomous material movement to enhance their efficiency while reducing people and human errors. Simply said, repeatability of mundane operations within the given takt time consistently over a long period with zero accidents is the expectation of the industry.

At Virya Autonomous Technologies Pvt Ltd, we are dedicated to transforming the way businesses operate by providing cutting-edge technology in autonomous mobility solutions. Our mission is to create innovative products and provide solutions that cater to the unique needs of our customers. We ensure our products are scalable thus supporting sustainable growth of our clients.

Built on the rich foundation of Maini Group which has a legacy of 50 years in people and material mobility, we understand the industry requirements and provide solutions while enhancing efficiency.

Our products are compact and powerful, rugged and versatile with several unique features. Few of them are listed below:

• Seamless indoor & outdoor capability: Virya AMRs excel in both indoor and outdoor environments, ensuring uninterrupted productivity by eliminating the need for multiple transhipments significantly increasing the RoI.
• Towing capacity: Virya AMRs have towing capacity products from 0.5 tonne up to eight tonnes.
• Customised batteries: The customisable battery configurations helps to decide on the battery capacity as per operational requirements.
• Powerful drivetrain: This feature enables agile performance on gradients, facilitating deployment in existing infrastructure with minimal changes.
• Autonomous hitching and unhitching of trolleys helps in eliminating human intervention and hence better RoI.
• Hybrid operation: This is a unique industry first feature. The hybrid version helps change over from autonomous to manual to help continued operations when requirement arises.
