AGV - Automated Guided Vehicles

Increase productivity, reduce costs and maximize efficiency with AGVs

AGVs – automated guided vehicles: the solution for efficient intralogistics

In the dynamic world of logistics, efficiency and automation are crucial factors for success. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) provide an innovative solution that not only revolutionizes your intralogistics, but also reduces operating costs and increases safety. 

 

Find out how our advanced AGV solutions optimize your processes and future-proof your business.

Improving efficiency and profitability

Driverless transport systems are an elementary component of sustainably efficient intralogistics. Automated processes offer a wide range of advantages from which users can benefit in particular and maximize their economic efficiency. Our transport robots optimize internal material flows and a wide range of processes in production, storage and distribution centers. In addition to transparent and optimized intralogistics, users also benefit from increased safety, as replacing conventional forklift trucks with automated guided vehicles (AGV) reduces accidents caused by humans.

 

Facing challenges

The use of an AGV is also becoming increasingly important due to the ongoing shortage of skilled workers: automation means that available skilled workers can be deployed more efficiently. In addition, transport robots can take on heavy, dangerous and monotonous tasks in 24-hour operation.

Automated guided vehicle (AGV)

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a floor-based transport vehicle with its own drive. It is automatically controlled and guided without physical contact. Automated guided vehicles are used to move a wide variety of goods between several transfer stations.

 

There are no limits to the variety of our vehicles. In addition to our modular standard vehicles, we use our more than 60 years of special engineering expertise to manufacture customized transport robots for every task and environmental condition. With a variety of compatible load handling attachments (forks, roller conveyors, lifting beams or telescopic units) and navigation types, we implement robust transport solutions with load weights of up to 35 tons. If maintenance intervals and retrofit programs are maintained, the life cycle of the vehicles is several decades.

 

The difference to a driverless transport system: A driverless transport system describes the entire system in which one or more driverless transport vehicles are used.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AGVs AND AMRs?

Autonomous mobile robots are transport vehicles that independently navigate through production and storage halls within a defined area, using virtual maps of their environment for orientation. With modern cameras and sensors, they can detect fixed or moving obstacles, independently drive around them and thus ensure reliable transport in dynamic environments.
