BREWERY, GERMANY
17 COMPACT MOVE vehicles from ek robotics supply the fully automated block storage system with over 10,000 storage locations of a well-known brewery in Germany. The AGVs are equipped with a double pallet handler attachment allowing transport of two pallets at the same time, stacking and de stacking them in a process-safe manner.

PET BOTTLE PRODUCTION, GERMANY
Unstable and unevenly shaped products, such as stacked PET bottles or canisters, place high demands on transport and storage. ek robotics uses 3D camera technology for this, which evaluates the storage situation in real time with software developed by ek robotics. This enables the driverless transport vehicle to recognise the exact position of the goods to be transported and the pallets.

Transport robots support employees in internal order picking processes. The transport robots assemble certain partial quantities on the basis of shipping or production orders. The vehicle is called picking AGV, picker or gripper. Here it is possible to have particularly routine or time-consuming transports carried out by transport robots. In the future, efficiency will be further optimised, for example by allowing goods to be sorted while they are still in transit.
