AGV / LGV’s & Warehouse Automation

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Laser Guided Vehicles (LGVs) are intelligent and flexible transport systems designed to move materials around a manufacturing facility or warehouse autonomously, without human intervention. They navigate using various technologies, including lasers, magnets, or cameras, to follow predefined paths, transport goods, and execute complex manoeuvres with precision. This technology is a cornerstone of the modern smart warehouse, where seamless integration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and other automation solutions, such as robotic picking systems, create a highly efficient, productive, and error-free logistics environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between AGVs and LGVs?

LGV is a type of AGV that uses laser-based navigation (reflectors or natural features). Both move pallets or totes autonomously; the choice depends on layout, traffic, and flexibility requirements.

Which navigation methods do you support?

Laser (LGV), magnetic tape/markers, vision/QR (camera-based), and hybrid approaches. We specify the method to suit your site, routes and changeover needs.

Can the vehicles integrate with our WMS/ERP and line controls?

Yes — integration with WMS/MES/ERP and PLC/SCADA, plus barcode/RFID pallet ID, safety I/O and fire-door/traffic-light interfaces.

What load formats can you handle?

UK pallets (1200×1000), Euro pallets (1200×800), half pallets, crates, totes and custom carriers — with options for slip-sheets and pallet detection.

What safety features are included?

Safety scanners and bumpers, obstacle detection, speed limiting, emergency stops and safe stop zones — designed to meet site safety standards.

Do you offer site surveys, simulations and phased deployment?

Yes — we provide surveys, throughput/layout simulation, and staged rollouts to minimise disruption.
