Automated guided vehicle moving towards the station

The deployment of contactless safety technology (scanner) makes it possible for Automated guided vehicles - AGVs - to move in passageways which are also used by the personnel.

Automated guided vehicle system - Vehicle fleet waiting in front of a supply department

Time-oriented provision of containers shortly prior to food distribution ensure a high level of reliability in the supply.

Automated guided vehicle system - Container prior to the delivery at the destination department

On time delivery of containers at the station prevents personnel from waiting or machines from lying idle.

Automated guided vehicle system - Complex route with a high vehicle frequency

A superior control system of Automated guided vehicle systems monitors and controls the moving vehicles. It prevents collisions which usually happen with manual operation particularly at blind intersections, and increases safety of the material transported, personnel and work environment.

Automated guided vehicles - AGVs - use lifts to overcome different levels in buildings.

The containers are taken directly to the place where they are needed. This makes unnecessary manual retransport and the user always knows the stop-off point of every container.

Automated guided vehicle - AGV - moves into a lifter

Minor differences of level are no problem for the Automated guided vehicle system. The deployment of conventional lifting technology enables the AGVs to overcome such structural conditions.

Automatic delivery with Automated guided vehicles - AGVs - of the containers at a washing machine

Interfaces to other systems, e.g. a washing machine, ensure a completely automated material flow.

The containers are buffer stored centrally until they are needed for a transport job

The Automated guided vehicle system prevents an unnecessary and uncontrolled accumulation of containers in the stations or passageways and leads to a significantly lower number of containers.

Intermediate storage of containers in a storage system.

Holistic solutions do not mean that the transport on the Automated guided vehicle - AGV -  is the last link in the chain of process phases.

Charging of vehicle batteries in the charging stations of the Automated guided vehicle system.

In breaks and at the end of the working time, the battery-operated vehicles move to the charging stations automatically without any intervention on the part of the staff using them. The stopping time is shown via the plant monitoring-system.

Transfer of a container from an electric monorail system (EMS) to the Automated guided vehicle - AGV - system

Systems with an EMS can easily be supplemented with an AGV system. Changing over from an EMS to an AGV system is possible during on-going operation without any risk of supply failure.

Automated guided vehicles in the charging station

Fully automatic charging of the vehicles will take place after all transport jobs have been completed. Additional monitoring of the battery charging state ensures 24-hour safety and reliability.

The Automated guided vehicle - AGV - takes over the container by lifting it up from the top.

The individual technical design of the coupling system on the Automated guided vehicle permits the existing containers to be used.

Automatic integration of a container stored in a powered parking space

Integrating an additional transport system facilitates for the personnel container loading and unloading.

A container is loaded onto the Automated guided vehicle - AGV - fully automatically

A uniform carrying platform enables the transport of different containers on one standardised type of vehicle.

Destination input on the control terminal

Customer-friendly and easy operation of the terminals prevents transports to wrong destinations.
