AGVs retrieve, transport and deposit loads
Safe for people, cargo and your facility
Because they follow pre-programmed paths by exact standards, AGVs are naturally safer than many other material transport methods. You can discontinue material flow during times when pedestrian traffic is heavier, like shift changes and break times.
AGVs easily adjust and reprogram paths and travel routes to reduce pedestrian/forklift interactions.
AGVs have built-in, redundant safety systems and can integrate with external sensors and warning devices. They function in high-traffic areas and tight spaces due to these advanced safety systems.
AGV Safety features include
- Emergency stop buttons
- Contact bumpers to help prevent collisions
- Laser scans and collision avoidance technologies
- Safety PLCs (programmable logic controllers)
- Retaining arms and detection sensors
- Warning lights and audible alert signals
- Warning signs on the vehicles and in the facility
