What role do AGVs play in production and logistics ?

Automated Guided Vehicles are driverless transport systems that automate material flows within production or warehouse environments. They move along fixed routes or dynamically using sensor technology and navigation and take on transport tasks between the warehouse, production line or picking stations.

AGVs increase efficiency, reduce transport costs and improve safety as they perform standardised and repeatable tasks. They are a key component of intralogistics, especially in environments with a high degree of automation.

nemetris supports the integration of AGVs into existing production and logistics systems. AGVs are seamlessly integrated into material flow control systems, WMS or production systems via standardised interfaces. The nemetris software ensures optimum coordination and synchronisation of the driverless systems - also in conjunction with JIT, JIS and replenishment processes.
