Alfacon has partnered with select AGV (automatic guided vehicles) manufacturers to provide custom “appliances” that integrate a material handling layer to the mobile robot unit. This accessary to the mobile robot is engineered to the specifications of the application and designed to integrate with the AGV’s controls. The appliance provides the mobile solution with added functionality to the movement of product. Sample solutions include conveyor (gravity or powered), lifts, turn tables, containment for non-conveyables, pull carts, and any combination thereof.<\/p>\n

The use of a well-engineered AGV appliance which includes a section of pallet conveyor integrated to the mobile device. The forklift retrieves the pallet and places it onto a staging conveyor just outside the dock door which is feeding multiple AGV’s. The AGV, with the Alfacon conveyor appliance, docks itself at the staging conveyor and automatically receives the pallet. Once the mobile unit has completed the journey to its destination, it automatically releases the pallet.<\/p>\n

Alfacon’s Adaptive Conveying approach to product design to enhance system functionality has become a primary focus. Increasing the functionality of an AGV system provides a greater value and accelerated ROI. Utilizing Alfacon’s AGV Appliances provides system efficiency by eliminating steps in the process which in turn reduces production costs while in many cases improving throughput and capacity.<\/p>\n
