Buttons and sensors that bring the robot to you
Wireless, mains-powered devices for GOAT robots. An operator calls an AMR with one press, or GT Sense calls one when a bin runs empty or fills up — securely, over the Wi-Fi you already have.
Single-call wireless button
GT Button
A mains-powered wireless call button for the shop floor. One press summons a GOAT AMR, requests material or raises an assistance call — securely, over your existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, with instant light and sound feedback.

Multi-call wireless button, up to 4 buttons
GT M Button
A mains-powered wireless call station with up to four illuminated buttons. Each button is assigned its own call type in GT Studio — call an AMR, request material, cancel a job or raise an alert — from one secure, authenticated device on your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi.

Laser fill-level sensor for bins
GT Sense
A wireless sensor that watches a bin and calls the robot for you. A laser measures how full the bin is; when it runs low or fills up, GT Studio sends a robot to refill it or take it away. No one has to press a button.

From a press or a bin level to a robot at the station
- 1
Press or sense
An operator presses a button at a workstation, line-side rack or store — or GT Sense sees a bin run empty or fill up. A button’s ring changes colour to show the call is pending.
- 2
GT Studio receives it
The event travels over your plant Wi-Fi, encrypted end to end, to GT Studio — or to Orchestrix as a new material request.
- 3
A robot is sent
The mapped mission starts: the nearest suitable robot is dispatched, an alert is raised or a workflow begins.
- 4
Everyone sees the status
A button’s ring shows acknowledged, and fault if something needs attention. Bin levels and every call are live in GT Studio.
Buttons and sensors are configured in GT Studio. With Orchestrix, a press or an empty bin becomes a tracked material request with approvals and an audit trail.
Frequently asked questions
Do the accessories need batteries?
No. The GT Button, GT M Button and GT Sense are all wired to mains power (100–230 V AC, 50/60 Hz), so there are no batteries to replace and they are always online.
What network do they use?
The call buttons connect to your existing 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n). GT Sense is dual-band and joins on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. All of them use WPA2 or WPA3, including enterprise 802.1X networks.
How are the devices secured?
Each device has a unique MAC address and per-device certificate, all traffic is encrypted with TLS, firmware is encrypted and secure-booted so only GOAT-signed software runs, and devices can be de-authorised remotely from GT Studio.
What can a button press do?
Anything you map in GT Studio: call an AMR to a station, request material, dispatch to one of several destinations, cancel a job, or raise an andon, maintenance or service call. With Orchestrix, a press creates a material request with no screen needed.
Which one do I need?
Use the GT Button for one call type per station, and the GT M Button when a station needs several — for example call, cancel and two destinations, with 1 to 4 buttons on one device. Use GT Sense where a bin should call the robot itself, with no one pressing anything.
How does GT Sense know a bin is empty or full?
It is mounted above the bin and measures the distance to the contents with a laser. You set the empty and full levels for each bin in GT Studio, and each one starts the mission you choose.
