Automation in logistics

More and more companies are automating their internal logistics processes with the help of autonomous transport systems. The choice of manufacturer, model, and technical equipment form the cornerstone for making one’s own logistics processes efficient, robust, and safe. Here, companies can choose between autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), which is just one example of future-relevant fundamental decisions in the automation of transport processes. The innovative AMRs are ahead of AGVs in terms of flexibility and infrastructure costs due to their dynamic route guidance, while the latter offer an advantage in terms of reliability due to their time-fixed routes. In fact both systems can contribute to more efficient transport processes and offer a significant optimization approach for internal production and logistics processes. Current market forecasts therefore assume sales growth for both transport systems, with sales of autonomous mobile robots in particular expected to pick up speed in the coming years.
