Frequently Asked Questions


Which robot type is most preferred in logistics automation?

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are used for consistent as well as predicted transport of materials. AGVs might be serviced through conveyors, forklift trucks, or manual cart transport systems. The transport of bulk materials using AGVs helps minimize efforts required in repetitive transportation of small chunks of materials, with less human intervention. Apart from distribution and manufacturing, AGVs have also become an integral part of other industries, including retail, military, food & beverages, automotive, and healthcare. The deployment of AGVs benefits businesses by reducing the cost of labor required in manual execution of tasks; enhancing safety, accuracy, and productivity of products; and improving the efficiency of work when integrated with the warehouse management/control systems. Improved work efficiencies further helps streamline other processes, such as materials ordering and inventory management.
