Innovation for efficient cleaning of AGVs

Industry 4.0 relies on automation. We go along.

The use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) requires safe operation because malfunctions in the system lead to downtime, which in turn has a negative impact on the entire operational process. The right control system, regular maintenance, but also a clean track area and thus an undamaged hall floor ensure the smooth operation of the vehicles. We have made the latter our task.

Our goal was to develop a model that 

• can be integrated into existing transport routes
• is suitable for any navigation method and
• cleans the rollers reliably.

This has resulted in the new xs series - a clean driving zone especially for very narrow rollers of AGVs. The brush grate is particularly close-meshed, so that the surface is as smooth as possible and the AGV rollers have maximum contact. This ensures a smooth and low-vibration crossing. On one hand, this is important to protect vibration-sensitive goods such as microchips, and on the other hand, to ensure that vehicles can orient themselves without interference. The rollers are cleaned purely mechanically during the crossing - no intermediate stop is required!
