Automotive supplier Continental AG has developed its own line of autonomous automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for transporting parts in its assembly plants and warehouses. The autonomous AGVs can transport loads weighing more than a ton.
Continental’s autonomous AGVs are already being used at the company’s assembly plants in Zvolen, Slovakia, and Frankfurt am Main, Germany, transporting parts and materials for brake production. The AGVs automatically steer themselves to the programmed destinations and flexibly avoid obstacles.
