Driverless transport systems (or Automated Guided Vehicle, AGV, systems) are unmanned vehicles that are automatically controlled by their own drive mechanisms. They are used in the industrial environment, primarily in logistics, distribution, production and storage facilities. These economically efficient conveying systems operate without the deployment of people and contribute to a high level of profitability in the operating process. The use of in-house driverless systems (AGVs) poses special challenges for the castors and wheels on which the floor-bound transport solutions run.

Advantages of AGVs for your business
Different transport systems officially operate under the name of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). These systems, which may have different designs in terms of their technical characteristics and possibilities, offer numerous advantages. They allow the greatest possible flexibility, for instance, since they can be integrated into existing structures and are suitable for transporting a wide variety of goods. And AGVs are ideal for accommodating fluctuating performance requirements.
