Whereas the industry is transforming to keep up with intense competition, technologies must be adapted to the continuously changing environment, be more and more flexible and match the needs of tomorrow’s Industry 4.0.
Therefore, in the industry, many aspects of manufacturing will be highly automated, aiming at radically reducing production times and costs.
These new challenges involve also logistics operations within production management who is constantly seeking for innovative solutions to be developed, qualified and implemented without interruption or modification of existing flow and infrastructures. Thus leveraging its expertise in industrial robotics, MIWA Robotics' Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) addresses today’s requirements of manufacturers and their suppliers of logistic equipment.
MIWA Robotics’ knowledge and experience of industrial manufacturing associated to reliable and innovative unmanned solutions allow now industrials to optimize their logistics for complex operations inside or outside their premises: the new generation of AGVs integrate autonomous operating systems as well as hybrid power.
Autonomous guided vehicle
The increasing popularity of Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGVs) is based on the adaptability of the technology by removing any hassle of adjusting physical barriers. MIWA Robotics is the authorized dealer of AGV. They are a perfect way to automate facilities in most industries, especially for repetitive and/or dangerous tasks, and are safer to use than traditional forklifts.
The operating principle based on the following three criteria:
Goods-to-Person:
Operators stay in the fixed picking station, robots carry the target shelf to the station automatically.
Goods are stored in the movable shelves, and robots identify and transport the assigned shelves.
Backstage Control System:
Dynamic optimization of storage location, robot scheduling, and order processing, make the warehouse a self-adaptive system.
These autonomous systems include picking systems, moving systems and sorting systems. AGV provides clients with benefits of a high return on investment, better space utilization with multi-directional movement, and flexible navigation.
Autonomous logistics for Indoor, Outdoor and multi-building operations within an industrial plant
Autonomous cars, the automated industrial vehicles developed by MIWA Robotics are based on the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology which enables the machine to “recognize” its environment and adapt its navigation/behavior to a given situation and be in compliance with the highest safety requirements.
Designed and developed for an Indoor, outdoor and multi-building operations, without any existing infrastructure modification or any additional installations, MIWA Robotics' AGVs are the first of the kind and already being produced, delivered and tested in one of most demanding industrial environment.
