AGV / AMR Integration
AGV Agnostic By Design
We don't supply just one brand of AGV. We assess your application and select from a portfolio of premier suppliers to find the solution that fits your facility, your throughput, and your budget.

No Supplier Lock-In
Most integrators offer one supplier's equipment because that's what they're certified on. We maintain active partnerships with six AGV and AMR suppliers, which means we choose the platform that fits your application — not the one we happen to stock. Your facility requirements drive the decision.
Application-First Engineering
Before we recommend any vehicle, we map your material flow, measure your cycle times, and document your facility constraints. The engineering assessment comes first. We've seen too many systems spec'd around the supplier's catalog instead of the customer's actual throughput requirements.
Competitive Pricing
When you're not locked to one manufacturer, you're not paying that manufacturer's price by default. We can compare configurations across suppliers and find the platform that hits your performance targets at the right cost basis. Our installation and commissioning services are detailed on our{' '}installation page.
Our Supplier Portfolio
Every supplier in our portfolio is actively installed in production environments. We don't carry suppliers we haven't commissioned.
AGV / AMRBoth AGV and AMR platforms, navigation powered by Bluebotics technology. Reliable in automotive and manufacturing environments with established safety certification.
AGV / AMRVDA 5050 compliant fleet with proprietary AMR software for dynamic route planning. Suited for facilities requiring flexible path changes without infrastructure modification.
AGV / AMRHeavy-load AGVs rated to 154,000+ lbs, including tugger solutions for outdoor applications. Platform and underdrive vehicle configurations — the only supplier in our portfolio with proven outdoor tugger capability at this scale.
AGV / AMRModular AGV and AMR systems paired with modular cart systems and STILL Tugger configurations. Strong fit for facilities running mixed manual and automated material flow.
AGV / AMRThree AGV/AMR platform variations covering a range of payload and navigation requirements. VDA 5050 compliant with 24/7 technical support included.
AGV / AMRCAPS precision docking for high-accuracy applications. FLOW Core software manages fleet coordination and integrates with WMS and ERP systems.
How We Work
Assess Your Application
We document your current material flow, throughput targets, facility layout, and floor conditions. This determines vehicle type, path design, and fleet size — before any supplier is selected.
Select the Right Platform
We match your application requirements against our supplier portfolio and present the options that meet your specs. You get a recommendation with the reasoning behind it, not a catalog pushed at you.
Install, Commission, and Support
Our technicians handle installation from floor marking through WMS integration and production sign-off. We're ISN Certified on every installation. Full details on our installation and commissioning page.
For facilities requiring custom steel structures, mounting frames, or specialty cart fabrication, our custom fabrication team works alongside the AGV installation.
Common Questions From Plant Engineers
How many AGVs do I need for a 500,000 sq ft facility running two shifts?
Vehicle count depends on your pick density, route distances, payload weights, and cycle time targets — not square footage alone. A 500,000 sq ft facility running two shifts might require anywhere from 8 to 40+ vehicles depending on throughput. We start every project with a material flow analysis: we map your current moves, calculate the time per cycle, and size the fleet to meet your target throughput with a utilization buffer built in. Request a consultation and we'll run the numbers for your specific layout.
What's the difference between an AGV and an AMR — and which one does my application need?
An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) follows a fixed path defined by magnetic tape, wire, or laser reflectors. An AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) maps its environment and plans routes dynamically, adapting to obstacles in real time. AGVs are the right choice for high-throughput, repetitive routes in controlled environments — automotive assembly lines, for example. AMRs are better suited for environments that change frequently or where infrastructure modification is limited. Most facilities we work with end up running a mix of both. We assess your application and recommend the platform that fits your layout, not the one that's easiest for us to supply.
How does VDA 5050 compliance affect my existing automation infrastructure?
VDA 5050 is an open communication protocol that standardizes how AGVs and AMRs communicate with fleet management systems and WMS/ERP platforms. If your facility runs vehicles from multiple suppliers, VDA 5050 compliance means those vehicles can be managed through a single fleet management interface instead of separate proprietary systems. For facilities already running automation, VDA 5050-compliant vehicles integrate more cleanly with existing controls infrastructure and are less likely to create vendor lock-in as your fleet scales. All AGV and AMR platforms we offer — including Bluepath Robotics, Aumovio, and Omron — support VDA 5050.
What load capacities are available — and can AGVs handle our heaviest pallets?
Standard AGV platforms in our portfolio handle payloads from a few hundred pounds up to approximately 10,000 lbs for typical pallet and cart applications. For heavy industrial applications, MasterMover heavy-load AGVs in our portfolio are rated for loads exceeding 154,000 lbs and include tugger configurations for outdoor applications — suitable for moving large dies, coil stock, or heavy assemblies that conventional AGVs cannot handle. If your application involves extreme payloads, tell us the load weight, floor surface, and required travel speed and we will match you to the right platform.
How long does a typical AGV installation take from purchase order to production?
Lead times vary by project scope, but most AGV and AMR installations fall in the 16 to 28 week range from purchase order to full production sign-off. Simple single-vehicle deployments with minimal WMS integration can move faster — sometimes 10 to 12 weeks. Multi-vehicle installations with ERP integration, custom floor marking, and safety zone configuration take longer. We provide a project schedule with milestones at the time of proposal so your operations team can plan production around the installation window. Our commissioning team handles installation and signs off on the system before handoff — we don't leave until your production targets are met.
