AGVs: advantages simply explained

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are already an integral part of intralogistics. The future of in-house transportation is automated, sustainable and flexible. Find out now how you can meet these requirements today with the support of modular AGV solutions.

For automated guided vehicle systems (AGVs) in intralogistics, item Industrietechnik offers manufacturer-specific base models (base carts) and top modules for numerous applications © item

In intralogistics, mobile robots such as driverless transport systems are used worldwide in a wide range of applications. They perform numerous tasks and are characterized by high flexibility and adaptability. Find out more about the benefits of AGVs and how they can be optimally integrated into your processes in item's free white paper.

AGVs enable an efficient material flow. Their strengths are particularly evident in automated processes, where they ensure greater efficiency, compensate for personnel bottlenecks and thus counteract the shortage of skilled workers.

Order peaks can be handled flexibly, while staff are relieved of monotonous transportation tasks. The burden of storage and order picking work is reduced. Always available and ready for use, the transport capacities of AGVs adapt quickly to daily business requirements or seasonal fluctuations. Continuous processes established by AGVs increase process reliability, preventing errors in order picking, material provision and goods transportation. In addition, the use of AGVs promotes occupational safety: forklift accidents and transport damage are avoided.

Benefit from all AGV advantages with the right peripherals

For efficient operation, AGVs need peripherals that are tailored to their tasks. Solutions from item for AGVs create a secure basis for automating your production logistics. The modular item Building Kit System provides you with the perfect basis for designing individual AGV solutions: With components that can be used flexibly, you can implement application-specific adaptations and extensions at any time. As base frames, Base Carts from item offer a standardized interface to mobile robots from various manufacturers and Top Modules of all kinds.

Thanks to this interface, you can, for example, use tried-and-tested picking racks, staging solutions or transport racks for Euro pallets quickly and safely with the desired transport system. Numerous sample solutions show you what is possible in mobile robotics with item. You can use the preconfigured application examples as inspiration or as a basis for your own projects. Thanks to the link with the item engineering tool, they can be individually adapted.
