When should Doerfer AGV and Transporter Systems be considered?

• Loads are simply too heavy and/or awkward to be handled on conventional equipment.

• i.e. Too large or too awkward for overhead cranes, air bearings, in-floor rail system and caster wheeled dollies.

• Management needs a system solution designed to industry codes and quality processes.

• Production needs uncompromising performance and reliability supporting unique processes.

• Operation needs an open architecture control system.

• Maintenance needs familiarity and freedom of choice for hardware and design.

• Other critical elements present such as custom designs, tooling, demanding operational conditions, large vehicle quantities, vehicle payload extremes (400 - 400,000+ lbs.), and tailored safety systems.  

Inherent challenges when applying AGVs from a standard AGV supplier

• Application limitations

• Design flexibility

• Proprietary designs, software, and equipment

• System and vehicle design change requests and/or requirements can prove challenging when executed by Project Engineers/Project Managers against standard product offerings.
