AGV Logistics & Warehouse Solutions

Answering your AGV questions

What is natural navigation?

Natural navigation requires no external infrastructure. Using sensors, the AGV maps its surrounding, during training, resulting in no need to reconstruct warehouse or production environments.

What happens if the AGV encounters an obstacle?

Our AGV integrates sensors and various components that receive, process and analyse data in real time and act accordingly. When an autonomous guided vehicle encounters an obstacle on its route, such as a pallet or person, it will stop if it detects that it could harm the operators.

How will automation affect my employees?

AGV perfectly complements your existing workforce. AGVs do the heavy manual work, Removing or reducing the need for your staff to move materials, allowing your people to spend more time doing greater-value tasks.

How does an AGV know where to go?

Our AGV navigation technologies include:

• Line follow: A painted or magnetic line on the floor.
  • The AGV follows only the painted or magnetic line (including markers to tell it where to stop or change direction).
• Natural: A navigation that requires no external infrastructure.
  • The AGV maps its surroundings using sensors during training runs, and stores the data onboard.

Can it work outside?

Our AGVs, unlike others, are built to operate indoors, outdoors, on slopes, uneven terrain and even in the rain, ensuring production and manufacturing processes can reduce downtime with autonomous load moving between buildings.

How fast can an AGV travel?

MasterMover AGVs travel up to 2.5m per second, even with heavier loads. AGVs are capable of adapting to the surrounding environment, slowing down at certain points i.e. through high pedestrian areas and then speeding up when necessary.
