ABB Robotics’ Flexley Mover P603 wins iF Design Award 2026

• iF Design Award given for innovative design and intelligent navigation capabilities
• Highlights ABB Robotics’ focus on delivering adaptable autonomous versatile robotic (AVR^TM) solutions for modern manufacturing and logistics applications

ABB Robotics’ Flexley^® Mover P603 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) has won the iF Design Award 2026 in the Industry, Tools and Machinery Product Design category, based on its compact design, intelligent navigation and potential to transform performance in intralogistics applications.

“The Flexley Mover P603 is the latest step in ABB Robotics’ approach to autonomous, software-driven intralogistics automation, where machines can operate independently while working seamlessly alongside people and other systems,” said Alfonso González, Global AMR Product Line Manager of ABB Robotics. “This award recognizes not only the strength of the design, but also how we’re lowering the barriers to automation through more autonomous and versatile robotics (AVR^TM) that can do more things, in more places, and do it faster, safer and smarter.”

The P603 was selected by judges for its combination of smart engineering, intelligent software and autonomous functionality in a single solution. Its navigation system, AI-powered by ABB Robotics’ Visual SLAM technology, enables precise movement without the need for fixed infrastructure, which speeds up commissioning by up 20%, compared to other navigation systems, and makes it less complex.

A compact footprint allows it to operate efficiently in space-constrained environments, while integrated load sensing ensures the safe handling of loads of up to 1500 kg. Together, these capabilities give manufacturers a versatile, future-ready solution that streamlines material flow and supports rapid adaptation to changing production needs.

Introduced in 2025, the Flexley Mover P603 is designed to boost output and improve material flow while reducing setup time and infrastructure requirements. Its quick installation and ability to operate in dynamic environments make it well suited to facilities looking to modernize operations without disruption.
