Remmert Forklift AGV Autonomous transport of pallets
Autonomous Guided Vehicles
The Remmert Forklift AGV can lift pallets up to 1200 mm above the floor. This makes it possible to bridge height differences between conveyor systems and floor level and to stack pallets in racks - autonomously and without the need for personnel.
The automated guided vehicle navigates independently in production and warehouse environments based on environmental patterns. Complex navigation equipment is therefore not required. This means that new routes and transportation tasks can be set up quickly and flexibly.
Reduced personnel costs
With the AGV, shuttle transports in production and storage areas can be carried out autonomously. This frees up employees for other activities, especially in the case of recurring goods movements.
Autonomous transport of pallets and racks
Workpieces or goods weighing up to 1 t on pallets or racks can be moved autonomously in production and storage environments with the Forklift AGV. Thanks to the lifting height of up to 1200 mm, pallets can be easily stacked in racks or removed from raised transfer stations.
Ready for AGV fleets
Additional AGVs can be integrated into an overall system via the ANTdriven navigation and fleet management software network. This allows you to use specialized AGVs for different transport tasks and consistently automate your material flow.
Easy integration into local conditions
A simple application can be installed on site within a few days. No structural modifications are required. The AGV Forklift moves along existing routes alongside other vehicles or people. The vehicle stops automatically as soon as an object/person approaches the safety area surrounding the vehicle.

Applications
Transport of pallets
The automated guided vehicle handles the recurring transportation of goods on pallets or similar racks in production and storage environments. Various stations at different heights can be defined via the order management system, so that goods can be easily transferred from processing stations, for example.
Integrations
Order management
The order management is displayed in Remmert SMART Control. This provides an integrated, intuitive dashboard for automation and WMS. It also provides an interface to higher-level IT systems.
Fleet management
Expand your AGV fleet with additional specialized vehicles for a wide range of tasks. All ANTdriven vehicles can be easily integrated into your fleet management system.
Equipment Features & Options
AGV vehicle
The Forklift AGV is equipped with lifting forks that can be used to lift Euro pallets from different floor levels. The driving mode and turning circle correspond to those of manually operated pallet trucks.
Navigation technique
Bluebotics' navigation technology uses LiDAR data and odometry/displacement measurement to localize the vehicle on the map and orient itself using permanent structures in the environment. The vehicle is controlled based on the X, Y and angle coordinates that it receives via the PLC. A one-time transmission of driving task data from the computer to the vehicle significantly reduces the network requirements (e.g. WLAN) compared to a continuous transmission of commands from the server to the AGV.
Charging station
As soon as the vehicle comes to a standstill above the charging station, the current collectors in the vehicle are lowered automatically. The Remmert AGV vehicles can thus drive to the charging station independently and fully automatically during the operating time, e.g. whenever the workload situation allows it or the batteries need to be recharged. Alternatively, a wall charging station can also be set up.
SMART Control
The SMART Control intelligent control system is the console of the Remmert AGV. The system is controlled via the intuitive dashboard. Order and fleet management as well as the planning and simulation functions of the navigation server are also controlled via the SMART Control AGV.
“AGVs are the next step in the metal industry for connecting individual machining centers. This technology has great potential, especially in times of labor shortages.”
