Our AGV & AMR Range for Warehouse Automation
Our AGV & AMR Range for Warehouse Automation
Automated Vehicles Designed for Industrial Material Handling
A tailor-made design
Our AGVs are meticulously designed and manufactured in France by Alstef Mobile Robotics (formerly BA Systèmes). They combine proven mobile robotics technologies with configurations adapted to each application, load and operating environment.
A wide range of applications
From compact pallet stackers to VNA trucks and vehicles designed for heavy or specific loads, our AGV and AMR range supports a wide variety of warehouse automation and material handling applications across warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Engineered for industrial environments
Our AGVs are designed to operate reliably within complex industrial environments, alongside operators, production equipment and other automated systems. Vehicle configuration, navigation, load handling and safety systems are defined according to the requirements of each application.
Load handling
From standard pallets to heavy, oversized or non-standard industrial loads, our vehicles can be configured with handling equipment adapted to the application.
Forks, powered conveyors, clamps, fork positioners, telescopic forks, stabilizers and other dedicated tooling enable automated handling across production, storage and distribution processes.
Depending on the vehicle and configuration, loads can range from a few kilograms to several tonnes, with storage applications reaching heights of up to 12 metres as standard.
Customization & ergonomics
Our AGVs can be customized to meet both operational and visual requirements. Colors, finishes and branding can be adapted
to your corporate identity, while ergonomic features can be configured according to the vehicle's use and operating environment.
This level of customization enables each vehicle to fit naturally into your facility and operational standards.
Safety
AGVs operate in environments shared with people, equipment and other vehicles. Safety is integrated into the vehicle design and adapted to its movements and environment.
Safety laser scanners provide protective fields around the vehicle and can dynamically adapt its speed or stop it when an obstacle or person is detected. Depending on the application, additional sensors and perception technologies can provide extended coverage around the vehicle.
Vehicle movements, load handling and safety functions are considered together to enable safe operation throughout transport, picking and depositing operations.
Navigation & localization
Our vehicles support different localization and navigation technologies, including laser-based, natural feature, and mixed navigation.
Advanced perception technologies, including 3D cameras and AI-based solutions, can further enhance the vehicle's understanding of its surroundings and its ability to operate in dynamic environments.
Energy & availability
Our AGVs are designed for continuous industrial operation, with battery and charging strategies adapted to the required throughput and operating pattern.
Lithium-ion technology enables automatic opportunity charging. The vehicle autonomously recharges according to predefined battery thresholds, allowing charging cycles to be integrated into normal operations.
For lead-acid batteries, our patented Autoswap system enables automatic battery replacement in less than three minutes. The exchange can be performed during operational downtime, allowing the vehicle to quickly resume a full work cycle.
Fleet management with OPAL
OPAL Fleet Management System coordinates the entire fleet of mobile robots in real time.
It assigns transport missions, optimizes routes and traffic, manages charging strategies and interfaces with production and warehouse systems.
By continuously adapting vehicle movements to operational priorities, OPAL helps optimize fleet availability and overall system performance.
