Elektroautomatik has developed an advanced AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) solution for the automotive industry. Through our Mobile Robotics business area, we created a customized AGV that combines power, precision, and low height – fully adapted to modern assembly environments and the electrified production of the future.
The challenge – flexible material handling in confined spaces
When a leading player in the automotive industry switched to electrified products, production needed to become both more flexible and ergonomic.
The customer handled heavy components in confined spaces and sought a solution that could improve flow without compromising safety.
This required an AGV with high load capacity, precise positioning, and ergonomic height adjustment that could be easily integrated into existing production lines.
The solution – a low-profile AGV with a hydraulic lift table
Our team at Mobile Robotics developed a custom-built AGV with a hydraulic lift table that can handle up to 3000 kg. The AGV offers both vertical lifting and tilt functions, which improves ergonomics and makes it flexible in various work tasks.
In addition, it is only 300 mm high, making it ideal for production environments with limited space.
Thanks to quad drive and individual steering and drive motors on each wheel, the AGV can move stably and precisely – even in confined, complex environments with heavy loads.
From needs analysis to finished prototype
We carried out the project in close and transparent collaboration with the customer – from needs analysis and concept development to the finished prototype.
The open dialogue made it possible to create a solution that truly meets the customer’s processes and requirements for efficient assembly.
“This project demonstrates the power of open and solution-focused development work. By combining our technical expertise with the customer’s experience, we have created a product that meets the demands of the future,” says the team behind the project at Mobile Robotics.
The result – a future-proof AGV for electrified production
Today, AGVs are used in an advanced assembly process with several pre-assembly stations.
In the next step, two AGVs dock together and work in sync to move heavy components with millimeter precision.
A special docking controller controls both the AGV’s movements and the position of the lifting table.
This ensures stable and reliable handling in both automated and semi-automated flows.
Thanks to its power, flexibility, and technical precision, this AGV is more than just a transport solution.
Instead, it is a strategic investment in the electrified and sustainable production of the future.
The project also demonstrates how innovative automation development can contribute to increased efficiency, improved ergonomics, and enhanced competitiveness in industry.
