Articulated Robots

Robotics

Articulated Industrial Robots are characterized by a series of interconnected joints resembling a human arm, called axes.

These axes, typically revolute or rotary, allow for multi-axis movement, providing the robot with a high degree of flexibility and precision in performing various tasks. These robots come in various sizes and formats, meaning they can be designed for various applications such as pick-and-place, quality control inspection, sorting and much more depending on the type of end-tool. The end-tool can include tools, grippers, and/or sensors depending on the operational need.

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs )

Robotics

Industrial Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are autonomous mobile robots designed for material handling and transportation within industrial operations.

These vehicles are equipped with sensors, cameras, and navigation systems that enable them to operate without human intervention. Previously, AGVs often followed predetermined paths configured by magnetic strips, guide wires, or laser markers. Most recently, AGVs have now begun integrating user-friendly technology, augmented by AI in order to map their surroundings in real time. They can be trained to observe an environment, allowing them to navigate through warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers with precision and safety. 

AGVs are utilized in various applications to streamline logistics and enhance operational efficiency. In manufacturing, AGVs play a key role in automating the movement of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods, optimizing production workflows. In warehouses and distribution centers, AGVs efficiently transport goods between storage locations, aiding in inventory management and order fulfillment. The versatility and automation capabilities of AGVs make them ample candidates to streamline current industrial material handling processes, contributing to increased productivity and reduced operational costs.
