AGV: heavy-duty automated guided carts

Description

CAPACITY: 0 – 1000 TONS

MORELLO designs and manufactures automated guided carts (AGVs) tailored to the specific needs of multiple industrial sectors. Our core expertise focuses on heavy-duty AGVs with capacities ranging from 2 to 1,000 tons.

We produce wheeled AGVs for automated material handling across a wide variety of industries. These vehicles operate autonomously, without the need for an onboard operator or physical guidance systems such as rails.

KEY ADVANTAGES OF MORELLO’S HEAVY-DUTY AGVs:

Lower operational costs
Enhanced workplace safety
Greater precision and higher productivity
Reduced risk of damage to products and infrastructure
Ability to operate in hazardous or explosive environments

NAVIGATION TECHNOLOGY

MORELLO stands out among AGV manufacturers worldwide thanks to a broad selection of advanced navigation technologies for automated material handling. The choice of technology (or combination of technologies) is defined together with the customer, based on operational needs, technical requirements, and budget constraints.

Below are the navigation systems available for our AGV carts.

INDUCTIVE GUIDANCE

OPTICAL GUIDANCE

INERTIAL GUIDANCE

LASER GUIDANCE

MAGNETIC GUIDANCE

dGPS GUIDANCE

SOFTWARE

To ensure maximum customization and flexibility, MORELLO integrates both proprietary software developed in-house and industry-standard platforms from leading AGV software providers. This enables us to tailor every aspect of our heavy-duty AGVs, from the cart’s geometry to navigation paths and automation logic, fully aligning with the customer’s production workflow.

Our solutions include omnidirectional automated guided carts, systems capable of supporting multiple navigation technologies simultaneously, and AGVs designed to interface with various management systems such as automated warehouses and integrated machinery. We also specialize in ATEX-certified AGV carts.

ATEX-certified AGVs for hazardous environments

MORELLO is among the first companies in the world to design AGVs specifically for hazardous environments. Drawing on extensive expertise in ATEX applications, we design and manufacture AGVs compliant with ATEX Zone 2 regulations. These explosion-proof automated guided carts significantly enhance safety by reducing operator exposure in high-risk areas, helping to minimize incidents and improving overall workplace protection.
