Fully Autonomous AGV
In conjunction with our partners at EK Robotics we can design, supply, commission and support a range of driverless/autonomous warehouse solutions that covers pallet transfer, pallet placement, pallet retrieval, storage house keeping, automatic opportunity charging and balance charging.
Magaziner AGV units operate in-aisle via wire or rail guidance. While outside aisles or transferring from aisle to aisle they operate via a laser based reflector system.
Integration with your existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) is key for successful AGV project operation and implementation. Your existing WMS acts as the master with the warehouse based AGV system receiving instructions via a Local Area Network Wifi connection to enable it to operate on a task by task basis.
A Magaziner AGV truck is initially the same as its' 'manual' cousin, post AGV conversion it has a number of additional cameras, sensors, laser safety scanners, onboard processors and controllers that enable it to operate safely in an autonomous fashion.
Initial scoping projects of this nature is key to delivering a solution that is optimal for your operation. The timescale from initial engagement to commissioning of an AGV system is expected to be in the region of 18 months.
Chemco - Atex
Chemco is a comprehensive chemical solutions provider. The company works in partnership with some of the world’s largest companies, providing expertise, world-class efficiency and transparent operations. They are at the forefront of industry evolution, constantly updating and reforming our ways of working, safety standards and technologies to ensure that we always offer our clients the best service possible.
Magaziner has been their VNA partner of choice for over 20 years.... in fact their original machine, from 2002, is still operating at one of their Dublin facilities.
The chemical industry presents some unique challenges for warehousing and operation of MHE, substances that are potentially explosive are often handled and safety regulations require that all potential ignition or flash points are removed as a matter of course. Chemco currently operate a number of Magaziner EK2000 units that have been fitted with Pyroban System 6000E Atex conversions to comply with all current Atex rules and regulations.
With over 20 years of experience in meeting Chemco's needs, we are currently in the process of installing and commissioning a fully autonomous Magaziner AGV/VNA solution on behalf of Chemco. Our partners on this project are EK Robotics of Germany. Once signed off, a significant part of Chemco's warehouse operations will be fully autonomous, integrating directly with their Warehouse Management System 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
