At KUMATECH we are always developing new solutions to optimize processes of internal logistics. With our latest development our AGVs can work even more efficiently by driving long distances backwards without any problems.
The challenge of full queues
In many warehouses and production environments, pallets are often arranged in rows. For many AGVs and AMRs full pallets are an obstacle. These systems “see” the pallets as an obstacle and/or their field of view is blocked, therefore they cannot properly handle pallet placement in and between rows.
What sets our AGVs apart is our unique navigation system based on floor structure. Instead of relying on sight lines, as many other systems do, our AGVs rely on the structure of the floor to orient themselves. They are not “blinded” by the environment, but navigate accurately and reliably.
The big advantage: working in dynamic environments
This new feature makes our AGVs perfect for dynamic environments where changes constantly take place such as moving goods or replenishing warehouses and loads. The benefits at a glance:
-
-
- Efficient repositioning of full pallets in and between rows
- No hindrance with surrounding pallets thanks to floor structure navigation
- Perfect for dynamic environments
- Better utilization of storage space and more efficient use of AGVs

With this innovation we continue to respond to the needs of our customers in the manufacturing industry and warehouse logistics. We strive to make processes not only more efficient, but also simpler and more flexible. Curious to see this new feature in action?
