2. Manufacturing & Production
AiTEN AGVs efficiently transport raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods, thereby significantly enhancing material handling processes within manufacturing plants.
AGVs simplify material movement throughout the manufacturing process, optimising workflows to improve operational efficiency.
AGVs and AMRs have seen widespread adoption in industrial manufacturing, though their application is typically most effective within repeatable processes.
Typical application scenarios:
- Automatic inter-process transfer
- Automated line-side replenishment (JIT)
- Flexible distribution for high-volume, multi-batch operations
- Automated transfer and warehousing of finished goods
Within the manufacturing sector, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) not only optimise material flow but also reduce manual labour and streamline operational processes, enabling staff to undertake more productive tasks.
By integrating AGVs, factories can achieve faster, more efficient workflows, thereby enabling just-in-time production and supporting the lean principle of flexible manufacturing.
Whether deployed to support production processes or to drive assembly lines, AGVs provide manufacturers with flexible, scalable and reliable solutions.
