AGV

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are unmanned forklifts or carts that move your transport load and materials around within your logistics or production environment, even through narrow aisles.

Navigation

The new generation of these electrical vehicles use SLAM-technology (Simultaneous Localisation And Mapping) to calculate its own route, detect obstacles and surround them autonomously. This allows us to adapt the configuration fast and easy, without infrastructural changes.

To navigate, they use laser guidance.

Battery and charging

The heart of the AGV is a robust, fast-charging 48V lithium-ion battery. When the battery is low, the AGV drives to a charging station fully automatically.

Fleet control

The fleet control takes over the complex control of the logistics processes:

• The software coordinates the various vehicles and controls traffic lights, doors, etc.
• Status information can be called up and visualized.

The fleet controller is based on proven technology and VDA 5050 compliant.

MFCS integration

The AGV fleet can be controlled by our own MFCS software Cerastore in a fully automated stock management environment, or we can integrate them in the clients existing software.

Vehicle types

Vehicle types we offer:

• Counter balance
  AGV with counterweight principle, enabling high precision transfer even in locations that are difficult to access.
• Tricycle forkover
  A ‘classic’ pallet mover that enables fully automated transport of pallets and boxes. Very easy to integrate in brownfield applications.
• Omnidrive forkover
  Even more compact, allowing transversal travel (crab-style).
• Automated cart, bi- or omnidirectional
  A ramp-capable underride AGV. Often used in combination with lifting table modules, gripper systems or roller conveyors.
