AGV

Suzhou AGV Robot Co Ltd is a high-tech based company on many experiences in designing and manufacturing customized AGV & equipment from 2004. AGVs are used in all sorts of industries, to transport and store all kinds of products and materials. Equally, at home in the factory, the warehouse, in the distribution or in shipping areas, they are a safe and secure way to increase process efficiency and improve business profitability; all without human intervention.


AGVs automatically lift, rotate and shift your goods, fetch and carry loads to and from racking, store and retrieve in block-stacks or deep stack lanes, transport product over long distances, deliver and collect at conveyors or process machines, etc For us, AGVs are a clear investment in the future," 

Investing in the future

AGV Robot's choice for AGVs was decided by two factors: space & reliability. By replacing an old conveyor system with automated forklifts, a lot of storage space became available that could be put to a different use, such as for additional shelves. The conveyor system was also at the end of its lifecycle and required quite some maintenance and manpower in the last couple of years. "Now these resources can be used for other tasks, improving productivity," says AGV Robot. The AGVs have designated routes separated from the pedestrian routes, improving safety in the warehouse. The automated system can be integrated into Uponor's ERP in the future, something that was impossible with the old conveyor system.

Improved efficiency all-round

The automated forklifts support the 24/7 production at AGV Robot, only pausing the material flow of the product when it's convenient to charge the batteries. This can be done in short charging cycles that are aligned with the production cycles thanks to lithium-ion battery technology. The AGVs can automatically charge themselves within their own operating environment, eliminating the need for a separate charging area. Moreover, the lithium-ion powered trucks save between 20-30% energy compared to traditional battery technology. Their battery life is also longer and they charge much faster in several short periods without the battery running low. Thanks to this opportunity charging, lithium-ion batteries do not need to be replaced, attributing to ergonomics and safety in the workplace.

Increased Safety and Ergonomics

Thanks to their accuracy and automatic nature, AGV Robot Co Ltd, directly lead to a safer working environment, with no collisions and zero damage to loads. We strictly comply with and exceed the demands of international safety standards. AGV Robot Co Ltd provides an alternative to manually transporting hazardous or delicate products and to transport in less operator-friendly environments, such as cold stores, warehouses for chemical products, etc.

Efficient installation

The ROI of an automated solution is usually 2-3 years. When installing automated systems, the introduction of the first truck creates a system environment in which the next automated truck can be implemented as well, making the installation cost-efficient for the following trucks. Connecting the second machine costs only half the price of the first machine and its environment. That's why the system was expanded as soon as measurable, positive results were produced. AGV Robot shares his experience working with BSLBATT®: "BSLBATT® is a reliable partner for us with whom we have been working for many years. In addition to their technical solutions, we also rely on BSLBATT®'s extensive service support since we trust their know-how."
