Conveyor System Add-Ons for AMR & AGV – Seamless Integration into Existing Material Flow Systems
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are widely used for internal transport. The real challenge, however, is not the vehicle itself, but its integration into existing material flow systems. Only with the right conveyor interface can a stable and continuous process be achieved.
Typical challenges in AMR and AGV integration:
- undefined or inconsistent transfer between vehicle and conveyor
- differences in transfer heights and missing adjustments
- lack of properly designed buffer zones
- interface gaps between autonomous systems and stationary equipment
- process interruptions caused by inefficient handovers
Our solutions for reliable AMR and AGV integration:
- transfer stations for precise and repeatable material handover
- conveyor interfaces for continuous process integration
- buffer zones to decouple and optimize material flow
- height adjustments for seamless system alignment
- custom-engineered solutions for complex applications
Our modules are designed to integrate mechanically and functionally into existing systems. We take into account:
- transfer heights and tolerances
- load capacities and load distribution
- cycle times and process logic
- interfaces with existing conveyor technology
Configurable modules such as transfer stations, buffer zones, height adjustments and conveyor connections extend AMR and AGV systems with essential functionality.
They ensure stable material transfer, reduce downtime and enable a continuous material flow between autonomous vehicles and stationary conveyor systems.
Typical applications:
- automated production environments
- warehouse and distribution logistics
- internal material handling
- integration into existing systems
We support you in defining the optimal interface between AMR/AGV systems and conveyor technology, from initial concept to final implementation.
All solutions are tailored to your specific application requirements. Below you will find an overview of our AMR and AGV integration solutions.
Products
Pallet roller conveyor
Our two-lane pallet roller conveyor with integrated ball roller table and lid gripper is a clever buffer solution for pallets and boxes. It serves as intermediate storage within automated processes and enables autonomous material transfer to AMR and AGV systems. The potential of this addition to modern AGV transport systems is particularly evident in combination with plastic boxes.
Driven storage track
The RBA50MR driven roller conveyor with a flat design is ideal for pallets, mesh boxes and containers. The integrated cover protects the conveyed goods from dust and dirt – perfect for use in smart warehouses and AMR logistics.
The transfer can be automated or manual using a pallet truck, allowing this module to be flexibly integrated into existing processes.
Driven loading element
This retrofittable loading element enables goods to be fed into existing systems from the front.
Ideal for AGV transport systems or AMR technology where a precise transfer of material is required.
Driven loading element
This variant of a driven loading element is ideal for lateral transfer into your conveyor system.
It is particularly suitable for compact system layouts and can be easily integrated into existing Automated Guided Vehicle environments.
Gravity storage track
This non-driven roller conveyor operates as a buffer section for pallets and pallet cages – for example in front of a workstation. Pallets can be loaded flexibly from both sides.
A lifting table can optionally be integrated between the rails to enable ergonomic working – a perfect addition to any AMR production or automated warehousing system.
Hydraulic loading element
This compact retrofit module lifts a parked pallet and transfers it to the existing conveyor system via a powered roller conveyor. The solution is ideal for adding to automated environments, especially where space is limited or in combination with autonomous robots.
Various U-trolleys
Our U-trolleys are available in normal and tugger train-compatible versions and are compatible with 800 mm Euro pallets and 1000 mm industrial pallets. The trolley compatibility ensures efficient trolley management.
With a load capacity of 1000 kg, they can also be used to transport heavy loads in your company.
The pallets are placed on the U-trolley so that the employee can move them flexibly and create an ergonomic workstation – an ideal interface between manual tasks and AMR robots.
Lifting table HTCU
The U-shaped HTCU lifting table can be loaded with any pedestrian stacker, pallet truck or AGV or AMR system. With a load capacity of 1000 kg and an effective stroke of 775 mm, it offers an ergonomic solution for height adjustment in the material flow.
Variants with up to 1500 kg are also available – ideal for AGV pallet transport systems.
Pallet storage station
Our multi-lane pallet storage station with gravity roller conveyors is suitable as a space-saving storage solution under existing pallet racks.
As a buffer space, it optimizes the interaction between automated conveyor technology, self-propelled vehicles and manual order picking in logistics.
