Big savings from customized AGVs in manufacturing

2023-07-14

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are already a familiar sight in distribution and logistics centers. Now manufacturing wants a slice of their cost savings and efficiency, too, alongside the industry`s other initiatives in robotics and automatization. [We are seeing that the market for AGVs in industry is clearly growing," says Magnus Nilsson, Purchaser for Jernbro`s automation department.

Jernbro is a leading supplier of customer-specific automation solutions. It develops complete solutions with AGVs, overall control, fixtures, robotic loading and unloading for both assembly applications and production-close logistics applications.

Precise solutions with customized AGVs

[For instance we have developed quite a niche at Jernbro, focused on manufacturing, and particularly of engines for heavy-duty trucks" Magnus continues. [We always work closely with our customers to ensure we can deliver precisely tailored solutions."

Jernbro`s AGV solutions fall into two main application classes: ergonomic and shuttle. [The ergonomic application follows the whole line, moving items of all sizes to ensure first-class ergonomics for the engineers working on them," says Magnus. [The shuttle application moves items between locations without the need for permanent tracks, which makes it a very flexible solution."
