Automation solutions for line-guided automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS)

Line-guided automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) are often used in assembly lines that are constructed in the form of circular courses. Especially when combined with our contactless energy transfer system, systems can be implemented that can be operated around the clock and without breaks – without additional space required for any charging stations and with maximum availability.

Innovative system solutions for assembly lines

Whether in cycle mode or continuous operation, high loads during travel and lifting – our MAXOLUTION® concepts for line-guided AGV systems offer you the right drive and automation solutions with innovative technologies:

  • Powerful drive and application controller
  • High-performance safety controller for comprehensive safety functions
  • Radio communication via leakage cable for reliable data transmission
  • Contactless energy transfer for particularly low-maintenance systems
  • Innovative software tools for planning, project planning, simulation and startup

Application-specific functions for maximum efficiency and occupational safety of workers in production, among others:

  • Different travel speeds depending on the position and load – can also be implemented with safety functions SLS / SLP
  • Temporarily increasing the speeds for closing gaps
  • Adaptive buffer distances
  • Safe distance monitoring (SDM®) for a safely controlled distance between the vehicles
  • Safe envelopes for applications with lifting
  • Synchronization with other systems, e.g. “on the fly” Marriage

MAXOLUTION® connected – innovative software solutions for networking shop floor automation and integration into the IT level:

  • Detailed online diagnostics of the vehicles using the MOVIVISION® parameterization and diagnostics software
  • Condition monitoring to improve system diagnostics and early failure detection
  • Simulation for the entire assembly process – from quality testing to productive operation
  • Digital twin of the production system – from OT to IT
  • EdgeDevices for data coupling of third-party I/O devices via MQTT
