SAVANT AGV System:  5 AGV Types Seamlessly Operating In One ‘Virtual’ Path System

Just as people have come to see EVs not equivalent to internal combustion automibles for all uses, the same applies to AMRs and AGVs.

AMRs are not AGVs when it comes to industrial material handing automation in factories and warehouses!!! We know because we’ve been in the business since we invented the first guided vehicle in 1954… 70+ years ago.

All guided vehicles (AGV, AMR and AGC) need navigation references. If those references are vulnerable in certain environments… the guided vehicles can’t navigate and the materials they are there to move… don’t get moved (costing unrecoverable $$$$’s).

AMRs use line-of-sight to walls (primarily) and fixed structures (secondarily) as references. Most system use areas in factories & warehouses are far from walls making consistent and accurate navigation (needed for automatic load pick/drop) randomly problematic.

That’s because other things are moving outside of the vehicle’s path and randomly interfering with their critically needed line-of-sight to their ‘natural feature’ references.

That never happens with Savant AGV technology because our navigation references are part of the floor, protected and unblockable.

Nothing else matters if the the guided vehicle navigation reference technology is vulnerable and a poor match for the facility environment.

Savant’s bulletproof navigation references combined with our robust, load-attachment configurable vehicles is without question, the best solution match for factory and warehouse automated material transportation needs

US-based, Savant develops and owns its AGV technology and manufactures our unique universal-use vehicles. We are a full service AGV system supplier providing all project services as well as 24/7 aftermarket support.

Our history began in 1954 with the invention of the AGV. ISO-certified, we have supplied systems for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, paper, plastic, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, healthcare/hospital, etc. markets.
