These AGVs can increase productivity, reduce operating costs, and improve ergonomics for nearly any company in any industry, including automotive, distribution and manufacturing.
Daifuku’s advanced offering of standard and customized vehicles provide the most cost-effective and efficient solutions. These AGVs can work around the clock to make continuous-flow manufacturing and just-in-time delivery easier to achieve.
AGV Guidance Technology
- SmartCart® Magnetic Tape/Bar Guidance
- AGV’s use magnetic tape or bar as guidance technology for simple or complex systems. This allows customers to deploy solid AGV systems that can seamlessly and robustly accommodate the complex environments of modern manufacturing.
AGV Navigation Technologies
- Natural Feature Navigation (NFN)
- Environmental object data is collected by on-vehicle sensors and used by the AGV to navigate its path routine and location.
- Laser Navigation
- A field of reflective targets seen by on-vehicle sensors and used by the vehicle’s computer determine the AGV’s location and navigational directions.
- Inertial Navigation
- Odometry data and in-floor waypoints are used by the vehicle’s computer to determine location and navigational directions.
- Enhanced Navigation
- Additional sensors can be added to augment any of the AGV’s navigation technologies.
- Co-Navigation Technology
- The use of multiple navigation packages on a AGV for challenging environments.
Daifuku AGVs
Daifuku AGVs are ideal for moving products on an assembly line or transporting goods throughout a plant or warehouse. Because they're automatic and durable, these AGVs provide reliable and consistent point-to-point movement of everything from small parts to heavy pallets.
Assembly Line Systems
SmartCart AGVs are a flexible and cost-effective assembly line solution that can tow or carry loads up to 10,000 kg. These AGVs be customized with a load handling carrier or a scissor lift to meet your specific needs. They can form a continuous moving line where an unlimited number of SmartCart AGVs remain synchronized at a close distance while traveling at a slow speed.
Warehouse and Distribution Centers
There are options for single or dual roller conveyors that are useful for delivering pallets to and from roller conveyor systems. Our Counterbalance Fork AGV is perfect for picking up and dropping off pallets from conveyors, stretch wrappers, or the floor.
