Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)

Efficiency is essential for the productivity and profitability of plant operations. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) enhance efficient operations with an innovative approach to material handling systems. These load carriers move throughout a warehouse, distribution center, or manufacturing facility without the direct control or guidance of an onboard operator.

AGVs contribute significantly to enhancing plant operations by:

• Improving efficiency
• Allowing for scalability
• Optimizing flexibility

Avon Engineering designs and manufactures customized automated guided vehicles to meet a wide range of material handling needs, particularly in large scale operations. They are available in both battery and propane-powered models.

Our AGV designs improve operations significantly, offering expanded transport capabilities:

• Move single or double coils from 40 tons to 100 tons
• Reduce costs and manpower needs
• Move materials quickly from bay to bay on either a straight line or curve
• Avon’s AGV electric steering design follows a wire In the floor
• More repeatable and accurate than Wi-Fi or GPS systems that lose signals due to interference
