AGV navigation
23 February 2018
When it comes to AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) BlueBotics has more than 15 years of experience in natural feature navigation, having delivered over 500 ANTdriven vehicles delivered to customers worldwide across more than 300 installations in 25 countries on four continents.

Adding a new source of dynamism to the vehicle, examples of the autonomous navigation in action include a Cleanfix cleaning robot equipped with ANT lite+ which can scrub up to 2500m2 efficiently and extremely economically; Oppent - EVOcartTM, a hospital vehicle driven by ANT lite+, which integrates into the hospital’s infrastructure and cuts the cost of delivering food, laundry and pharmaceuticals, and also collecting waste; and SITA Lab’s KATE, developed by BlueBotics in just three months, an intelligent check-in kiosk that autonomously moves to busy or congested areas in an airport as required
ANT driven vehicles can now be found all around the globe, automating production in cleanrooms, automotive processes and pharmaceutical deliveries. They are perfect logistical helpers in distribution centres, hospitals and food production as well as in the automation of chemical production. Thanks to ANT, vehicles also lend their ‘hand’ to the task of deep stacking and are a valuable aid in automating the logistics of home appliance production. When it comes to cleaning, our robots are active in shopping centres, industry, airports and railway stations.
