FMC Technologies offers robotic automated guided vehicles (AGVs) designed to fully meet the automatic material transport needs of standard and special applications using material handling systems across many industries. Each of these robotic vehicles or Special Application automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been optimized to specifically address a common material handling challenge that can not be adequately handled by a standard AGV type material handling system. These Special Application types of AGVs have been delivered to multiple customers within the target industry and they can be adapted to meet new applications with similar material handling requirements. The key to our success in designing Special Application AGVs is to talk with the customer to fully understand all of the material handling system requirements and project goals. These Special Application robotic equipment AGVs often operate in fleets with other more standard AGV types such as those found in the forked, unit load or tug categories. The Special Application AGVs utilize the same safe, reliable controls as found in the most standard of AGV types. Examples of Special Application AGVs include the following:
Clamp AGV (flat or curved clamps) for stacking and moving non-palletized goods and rolls
Roll Positioner AGV for precisely loading paper rolls into printing presses automatically
Atlis AGV (also referred to as a transporter within an automated transport systems or ATS) for movement of carts in healthcare facilities
ABR (Automatic Batch Retort) AGVs are effective material handling systems for loading materials such as canned food into ABR sterilizers
Self Guided Cart (SGV) for economical movement of materials within simple systems.
