AGV

Integration autonomous transport solutions using AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), key technologies for optimizing material flow, increasing productivity, and improving the flexibility of logistics and industrial operations.

Autonomous vehicles enable the automation of internal transport of goods, raw materials, finished products, and pallets, eliminating unnecessary manual movements and reducing operating costs.

AGVs are automated guided vehicles that follow predefined routes using technologies such as magnetic strips, optical markers, laser reflectors, or guided navigation systems.

They are a highly reliable solution for repetitive processes and fixed routes, enabling the automation of tasks such as:

• Pallet transport between warehouses and production areas.
• Automatic feeding of assembly lines.
• Movement between workstations.
• Transport of containers and industrial carts.
• Connection between manufacturing and shipping areas.
• Automated warehouse management.

AGVs offer high operational availability, ensuring a continuous and safe flow of materials within the facility.

AMRs represent the evolution of autonomous transport systems. Thanks to advanced sensors, cameras, and intelligent navigation technology, they can move autonomously through dynamic environments without the need for predefined physical routes.

Their main advantages are:

• Autonomous and flexible navigation.
• Adaptation to changes in plant layout.
• Real-time obstacle detection and avoidance.
• Easy integration with existing systems.
• Scalability to increase transport capacity.
• Automatic route optimization.

AMRs are ideal for facilities with changing processes, multiple destinations, or high operational flexibility requirements.

The autonomous transport solutions developed by NIKAI SYSTEMS are used in numerous industrial and logistics sectors for:

• Transporting European and American pallets and half pallets.
• Moving boxes, trays, and containers.
• Feeding production lines.
• Managing shipments and receiving goods.
• Automating warehouses and logistics centers.
• Connecting production processes.
• Supplying components to assembly lines.
• Transporting special loads and oversized products.

Our AGV and AMR systems can be integrated with:

• Roller and chain conveyors.
• Belt and modular belt conveyors.
• Pallet elevators and lowering systems.
• Machine vision systems.
• Barcode and RFID readers.
• MES, WMS, and ERP systems.
• Real-time traceability platforms.
• Digital twins and process simulation.

This integration enables a fully connected, monitored, and optimized internal logistics system.
