AGV Systems – Automatic Guided Vehicles

Cassioli’s Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is an extremely flexible solution for handling goods and an excellent alternative to conveyors and hand trucks. The AGV system guarantees full integration between the high-level information system used by the customer (Customer, Host, departmental system, SAP, etc.) and other management systems or devices, such as forklifts, robotic areas, palletizers, assembly lines and automated warehouses. Cassioli’s control system monitors all information relating to the positioning and status of AGV vehicles, as well as requests sent by the production system. This allows the system to perform real-time processing and determination of the most suitable route for the current situation (planning and routing of vehicles). Cassioli’s automatic AGV vehicles differ significantly in terms of weight and load size, single or multiple load, type of load and navigation system: Cassioli will develop the optimal solution, based on customer requirements, whatever the size and type of load to be handled. After analysing the dimensions, layout and environmental conditions of the system location, CASSIOLI technical personnel will decide whether a laser or natural navigation system is most appropriate.

MAIN FEATURES

AGV with forks

CASSIOLI has different types of AGV units with different forks for positioning of the goods handled. Our technical personnel choose the best configuration according to the physical characteristics of the object to be transported (weight and overall dimensions). The high positioning accuracy prevents damage to the product during handling.

AGV Deck Loading

With AGV Deck Loading, the pick-up/unloading device of the load unit consists of roller, belt or chain conveyors, depending on the product to be handled. The on-board handling device allows lifting, lowering, rotation and control of the load, depending upon the specific handling needs. The ability to carry multiple load units makes this type of vehicle the ideal choice for long routes.

AGV with telescopic forks

Special AGV for panels

This type of AGV is designed specifically for the transport of wooden panels. The special flatbed configuration of the AGV makes it possible to transport several panels at the same time, allowing faster processes and a smaller footprint.

Special AGV for reels

This AGV for reels has been specially designed by Cassioli to better organize management and storage of reels in the warehouse, and is equipped with the most suitable devices for the transport and transfer of materials.
