Integration is the key word of the era we are living in. Using technologies in synergy with each other makes it possible to improve performance – from flexibility to efficiency and safety – also, and above all, in managing intralogistics processes.
This is why digital transformation is the common thread for all businesses that want to grow and become more competitive.

Logistics 4.0 and automated guided vehicles

Today, intralogistics is much more complex and dynamic than in the past: it not only involves warehouse control, but also identifying goods, handling raw materials, packaging and finished products in-house, and preparing orders/loads for product shipment. Integrated management is essential when it comes to LOGISTICS 4.0: it increases the efficiency and safety of operations, optimizes production and the use of storage facilities, and reduces management costs.

The use of AGVs is thus a key step to achieving this goal.

Characteristics and benefits of automated guided vehicles

AGVs are systems capable of moving autonomously – therefore ensuring operational continuity – since the route taken and the activities to be carried out are managed by software. 

Automated guided vehicles are equipped with laser scanners to ensure reliability and maximum safety for operators working in the same area.

Thanks to their precise handling of goods and materials, AGVs increase the efficiency and safety of intralogistics operations – both indoors and outdoors – ensuring high application flexibility, finished product integrity and reduced costs resulting from damage to structures. 

Intralogistics and Smart Factory

In such a competitive context, which requires speed, precision and full product traceability, innovating and renewing intralogistics processes by introducing AGVs is the winning option to take a Smart Factory approach to work.
