Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

AGVs provide flexible, scalable material transport automation to improve efficiency in warehouses and production.

Adaptability is essential to the success of any modern intralogistics environment. AGVs provide the flexible and scalable technology necessary to dynamically respond to production or fulfillment shifts and optimize labor resources.

AGVs are driverless robots that transport materials in warehouses, distribution centers (DCs), and manufacturing facilities using designated pickup and delivery routines. AGV systems integrate seamlessly with new and existing material handling systems in both brownfield and greenfield operations.


Key benefits of AGVs in supply chain automation
Supply chain automation solutions that feature AGVs come with several advantages:

Safety and compliance: AGVs follow optimized routes using collision avoidance and safety sensors to prevent workplace accidents and ensure regulatory compliance.

Reduced operational costs: AGVs automate repetitive transport tasks, which reduces risk of workplace shortages, product damage, injury to workers, and overall labor cost.

Increased accuracy and consistent productivity: AGVs deliver predictable and repeatable performance that provides consistent operational throughput.

Automated material transport: AGVs move goods autonomously along predefined paths, reducing labor requirements and minimizing human error.

Integration with existing operations: AGVs integrate into current warehouse or production systems to create streamlined workflows without major infrastructure changes.

Scalability and flexibility: AGV systems scale to match operational growth and adapt to handle a variety of containers, including pallets, carts, and bins.
