More informationAGV-ready – Efficient interfaces for automation
The pipe connector system enables precisely fitting transfer points to automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Frames, centering aids, buffer zones, and staging stations can be precisely adapted to the vehicle type, loading height, and process requirements. This creates a continuous, uninterrupted material flow between manual and automated areas.
Kaizen – Improve Quickly & Flexibly
Roller tracks can be perfectly combined with automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Whether as a transfer point or as part of an automated route – the combination of gravity conveying and AGV technology ensures continuous material flows, fewer downtimes and maximum process reliability.
