The trend towards adaptable production is placing ever higher demands on intralogistics. Flexible automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR) are a key element in establishing fast, reliable and cost-efficient in-plant logistics.

But what components does such a transport system consist of, at what point does its use make economic sense and what is the process for introducing it?

To this end, this seminar first introduces the basics of the technology of driverless transport systems. Furthermore, the experts will provide insight into the currently discussed topic of autonomous vehicles (AMR). By presenting application examples in industry, the participants will gain insights into the multitude of possible applications. For the transfer to industrial application, the procedure for planning and introducing an AGV will be presented.

A tour of the Fraunhofer IPA's robot test field and an interactive exercise on the design of an AGV based on a case study round off the event.
