Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)

 

"Automated Guided Vehicles can hold 20’, 40’ and even 45’ containers. Thanks to computer control, they fulfil their travel orders on-schedule, working almost silently at high speed with position accuracy of within +/- 3 degrees. They travel forwards, in reverse, sideways and can even overtake each other. Even refuelling takes place automatically. They are controlled and supplied with data and orders by the Gottwald management and navigation software, and so-called transponders, i.e. electro-magnetic route markers embedded into the ground of the terminal."
