An under-ride lifting AGV is a low mobile robot that drives under a shelf unit or cart, lifts it and carries the whole unit to a workstation or line-side position. In shelf-to-person systems it brings the entire shelf to the picker; in factories it delivers material carts from the store to the line. Navigation uses floor codes or laser SLAM, and fleet software runs hundreds of robots at once.
Typical uses
- Shelf-to-person picking in e-commerce and 3PL
- Material and cart delivery to workstations in factories
- Finished-goods staging and transfer
- Sites where the layout changes often
