AGV systems for automated material handling and logistics

The Vector line by PRAGMA Logistics includes advanced automated material handling systems based on automated guided vehicles (AGVs), designed to ensure continuous material flow between different facility areas. These systems are used for moving pallets, containers, and semi-finished products along optimized routes, connecting lines, warehouses, and shipping areas without the need for human intervention.

AGV systems can replace or complement traditional material handling equipment such as forklifts, automating transport missions and ensuring consistent, synchronized material flows aligned with production cycles. The core of the system is the control software, which assigns tasks to each vehicle, optimizes routing, and manages traffic in real time. This helps prevent congestion and maximizes operational efficiency.

Vector AGVs can transport materials between production lines, supply workstations, transfer semi-finished products to automated storage systems (AS/RS), and manage connections with shipping and receiving areas. Configurations can also be extended to outdoor environments, enabling seamless transport between different buildings or between production and logistics areas, ensuring continuity across the entire internal supply chain.

Semi-automated radio-controlled cart for warehouse operations

In addition to fully automated systems, PRAGMA offers semi-automated solutions such as the Commissioner cart, designed to support operations in warehouse areas. In this case, the operator maintains radio control, while benefiting from assisted handling that reduces physical effort and improves accuracy and safety. The Commissioner is particularly suitable for picking operations, order preparation, and short-distance material transfers.
