Automated guided vehicles (AGV)

The fully automated logistics process

Individual automation solutions according to your requirements

Automated guided vehicles implement the automated interaction of one or multiple different industrial trucks in order to perform transport tasks in the warehouse without a driver.

Different warehouse situations require individual solutions. Automated guided vehicles offer you a perfectly coordinated combination of different automated STILL series-production trucks and corresponding technology, including the installation of all components.

Analysis, planning, implementation – put your trust in automation that meets your needs and delivers maximum efficiency by selecting the best technologies for your requirements. Various types of navigation allow the trucks to move independently through the warehouse. In this way, you can always stay flexible because all automated series-produced trucks can also be operated manually in the worst-case scenario.

The quality of the automated guided vehicles series devices has been proven in numerous automation projects. Once the tailor-made automation solution has been implemented, a professional service model guarantees that your system is available at all times.

  • Complete. Continuously automated material flow from goods receipt to outgoing deliveries with a complete range of automated STILL series-production trucks

  • Intelligent. Truck control, traffic regulation, battery monitoring and effective fleet utilisation with the iGo software

  • Organised. Effective cooperation from manually driven trucks with semi and fully-automated transport systems. 

  • Goal-oriented. Modern navigation technologies for secure, independent moving of trucks in the warehouse.

  • Safe. Personal protection systems guarantee the utmost safety. Appropriate sensor technology ensures precise pallet detection. 

  • Flexible. Automated production trucks, which in special cases can also be operated manually.

  • Needs-based. Standardised and scalable solutions for every automation requirement.

  • Predictable. Short response times both in the design and quotation preparation stages, as well as in the implementation of projects.
