Towing AGVs & Tugger AGV Systems
A towing AGV system excels at moving heavy-wheeled loads, navigating tight spaces and improving operational efficiency. They efficiently transport multiple trolleys at a time, creating an automated tugger train, saving time and optimising space. Towing and tugger AGV systems are ideal for assembly lines, ensuring a continuous flow of materials, enhancing productivity and streamlining operations.
The Benefits of Towing AGVs
Automated towing vehicles offer a range of benefits across industries. Towing AGVs and tugger AGV systems eliminate the need for manual labour in low-value-adding tasks like towing applications of moving goods from A to B – freeing up staff to work on more productive tasks.
Towing AGV systems:
- Can tow a heavy load
- Are able to tow multiple loads at once
- Are best suited to repetitive movements
- Improve operational efficiency
-
Repeatability
Precise movements, every time. By their nature, AGVs are a great fit for delivering repeatable movements.
-
Better utilisation of people
AGV solutions make movement of equipment and materials more efficient and allow your people to focus on value-adding tasks. -
Eliminate human error
Towing AGVs take control away from a human operator. Safety sensors ensure a programmed response to any detected risk, stopping movement until a hazard has been cleared or moved away.
-
Improve operational efficiency
AGVs drive operational efficiency by reducing wasted movement and freeing up staff to work on more productive tasks.
Who Uses Towing AGVs?
Industries like industrial manufacturing, automotive and logistics distribution centres rely on automated towing vehicles and tugger AGV systems for seamless material handling. They contribute to just-in-time delivery, efficient supply chain management, and improved material flow. Whether it's moving raw materials to the assembly line or transporting finished goods, this type of AGV system plays a crucial role in enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
Unit Load AGVs & Automated Unit Load Carriers
Unit load AGVs and load carriers are one of the most common types of Automatic Guided Vehicle systems. They are designed to carry and transport heavy loads and unitised loads throughout warehouses and production facilities.
The design of an automated load carrier allows loads to be loaded onto the unit and then transported along a defined route. One of the key benefits burden carrier AGV systems and automated load carriers deliver is their ability to streamline operations and optimise material flow.
By automating the load transportation process, businesses can eliminate the need for manual labour, reducing the risk of human error and increasing productivity.
AGV Forklifts
Forklift AGV systems are autonomous vehicles that lift, move, and stack heavy loads without human intervention. Automated forklift trucks are widely used in various applications and industries. In warehouses and logistics distribution centres, AGV forklifts are used to optimise material flow and space utilisation by efficiently moving palletised goods. Automated forklifts have advanced technology and use navigation systems like laser or vision-guided technology to manoeuvre accurately along routes.
