The Intelligent Answer to Repetitive Tasks

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and robotic forklifts are increasingly becoming a mainstay in manufacturing facilities and distribution center operations where tasks are highly standardized, repetitive, and easily accomplished without need of advanced human management. While some Automated Guided Vehicle technologies like wire- and track-guided systems are at use in many locations today (and play an intricate role in improving efficiency), new technologies are making AGV forklifts and AGV pallet jacks an even more integral solution in your current material handling operation. Available from your Toyota Forklift dealer in partnership with Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company, AGVs are advancing to learn your current infrastructure and react to changes in environment.

AGV Types: What to Know and Where to Use

Automated Guided Vehicles will gain widespread use as material handling operations discover more innovative ways to integrate warehouse technologies.  Knowing what your options are for driverless transport systems can help you decide why and when an investment in an automated forklift system can lead to increased efficiency.

 

  • Vision Guided Vehicles: VGVs, such as Bastian Solutions’ Pallet Truck VGV and Tugger VGV, integrate easily into your existing infrastructure by using 3D modelling technology to build a map of your facility and operate within it – no wire guidance needed.
  • Wire, RFID, and Tape AGVs: These wire guided and similar driverless vehicles follow a specified path generally built into or taped to the floor of the facility. This technology is also used for Tugger AGVs and Cart AGVs.
  • Laser AGVs: Laser AGVs respond to multiple fixed points identified by mounted or integrated laser technology, allowing for a more flexible integration than Wire AGVs.

Why Choose an Electric Pallet Jack?

Whether you choose an Electric Pallet Jack or another warehouse solution, each comes equipped with productivity-enhancing features that will help you increase throughput. Each model has few moving parts, which means they are less susceptible to wear and tear, leading to decreased maintenance costs and increased uptime. No matter if you’re moving material a few feet or across your facility, you can feel confident that you have the ideal supplement for your fleet.
