WHAT IS AN AGV?
- An ‘AGV’ is an autonomous self-driven fork truck that brings the cost of internal pallet transfers down to an absolute minimum.
- When profitability is a priority - it pays to operate fork trucks without drivers because the cost of employing drivers is replaced by the much smaller cost of acquiring and running an AGV.
- An AGV solution from Webster Griffin can be operational within 4-6 weeks. From the moment a self-driven fork truck starts working you have reduced your operating cost.
WHY CHOOSE WEBSTER GRIFFIN?

QUICK INSTALLATION - 24 HR SUPPORT
- An AGV solution from Webster Griffin can be operational within 5-6 weeks.
- It will be delivered to your site in 4-5 weeks, then commissioned in 3 -5 days.
- Provided that you have a smooth level concrete floor, it is installed without the need for any modifications to your factory.
- The on-board navigation system utilises 360 Degree LiDAR ‘geo-mapping' technology, which sees your factory in 3D (Night & Day), and precise ultra-sonic position sensors. Turn your AGV ‘off ‘- then power up again -and your AGV knows exactly where it is.
- Owing to Linde’s standard tiller control it’s a simple task to scan and map the area & ‘teach’ your AGV the routes it must follow. Because it does not depend upon any ancillary navigation devices, like reflectors or a wire in the floor, it is quick to install.
- Our AGV can follow complex convoluted routes in an open factory environment or travel along passageways inside an existing building.
- Using the on-board operator interface screen you have an overview of the AGV’s workflow. Whether you access the control via your PC, tablet or phone - you encounter the same interface screen
- If you wish to add an extra vehicle or need help setting up a completely different route - just call the Webster Griffin service department.
- For a fixed monthly subscription all customers must join the Software Licence Agreement and benefit from the 24 hours /day Service Hotline.
Linde Reliability - LiDAR Navigation - Webster Griffin Know-How
SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT
- You benefit from the transport of pallets from A to B - automatically, quickly and safely.
- Our AGVs are CE marked and safe to work in areas where personnel are present, employing ‘fixed feature’ Geo- navigation and harmless, unobtrusive laser technology.
- A host of personnel sensors, warning alarms and safety scanners, ensure safe operation.
- Precise control of acceleration and deceleration speeds provides the additional benefit of avoiding the cost of damaged goods and expensive collisions.
- Dual mode:- Manual or Automatic operation, when necessary the AGV can be switched to manual mode and operated from the standard Linde steering tiller.
- The LiDAR scanning navigation system analyses a continuum of fixed data points and always knows the exact location of the AGV – even after being switched to manual mode and taken to a new position your AGV knows exactly where it is.
- Our AGV’s are built on proven technology from Linde –supported by a comprehensive service network.
Easy to use, totally flexible, safe to operate.
