Free-range mobility for Automated Guided Vehicles

Batch sizes are becoming smaller, product life cycles are shorter, rigid conveyor belts and inflexible production lines are giving way to modular concepts. In addition, manufacturing and storage areas are expensive and optimizing space saves costs. Quick, flexible and reliable material flow concepts are required to implement this – using freely navigable Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). Omnidirectional mobility is a key feature of transport solutions.»
