Press releases N.C. Nielsen is now launching a new generation of AGV technology. The technology is based on a highly improved IT platform, experience from more than 50 implemented AGV solutions and a number of newly developed product features. Thus, N.C. Nielsen enters the market with its most advanced and flexible AGV technology till now.

More and more customers ask for improved performance in the AGV machines. They must be able to drive many different routes, handle several tasks, show more precision, provide detailed driving data and easily be programmed for new transport tasks. The new AGV technology from N.C. Nielsen has been developed to meet those requests for a flexible and reliable automation of internal transport tasks.

The AGV solution from N.C. Nielsen can easily form part of all types of companies in basically any industry. The IT platform is flexible and can be adapted to simple storage systems at small companies and to fully integrated WMS storage solutions at large and more complex organisations. The AGV technology can easily be integrated into existing operational activities with no changes in the physical layout.

 

AGV in several variants

N.C. Nielsen offers a wide range of AGV solutions. The advanced navigation and safety equipment can be fitted in all stackers, order pickers, reach trucks and turret trucks. Thus, the AGV machines can be used to e.g. store incoming goods, perform block stacking in free space, retrieve pallets at production lines and place pallets in well-defined warehouse zones.

- The new AGV technology makes it possible for us to create a fully customised solution. A large part of the development work is about listening to the customers, analyse their transport needs in detail and construct new, specific product features. Every time, we embark on an exciting technology travel with the customer and make sure to i.a. train super users so that they can programme the AGV machine for new tasks, says Henrik Gram Nielsen, Product Manager, N.C. Nielsen.

The new AGV machines from N.C. Nielsen offer a number of technological novelties. To mention an example, all new AGV solutions come with a highly improved display. The display has undergone a visual facelift and is considerably more user-friendly, manageable and clear in relation to presenting relevant information and error codes in the same, simple screen.

 

Load Eye – simplicity and perfection

Productivity and precision are closely linked at an automated and high-tech warehouse. Therefore, N.C. Nielsen has developed a specifically sensitive measurement instrument, a so-called Load Eye, that is fitted at the front of the AGV machine. It continuously scans the area in front of the AGV machine and identifies the position of the pallets to ensure a clear path to retrieve pallets or place them with the utmost precision in a given area - in close cooperation with the manual routines at the warehouse.
 

Automated safety

With several built-in safety scanners, BlueSpot safety lights, height scanners, improved braking and acoustic alarms, the new AGV machines are equipped with the highest safety level imaginable:

- The machines already have high built-in safety. With the AGV technology, we add an extra layer with for example sensitive safety scanners that constantly map the travel path and react at the slightest deviation. The AGV machine increases physical safety at the warehouse and creates improved efficiency as the AGV machine is in constant operation, says Henrik Gram Nielsen, Product Manager, N.C. Nielsen.
