The Challenge: Achieve 24/7 Flow and System Integration
The production facility required an AGV system capable of:
- Managing continuous transport of boxes and pallets between production, packaging, and warehouse.
- Operating 24/7 with minimal downtime and manual interaction.
- Handling high-frequency flows (approximately 400 transports per day).
- Integrating seamlessly with the customer’s ERP system and peripheral equipment such as a pallet turntable.
- Offering scalability for future production expansion.
The Solution: FX04 and FX10 AGVs in an Integrated System
MAXAGV delivered a complete automated transport system combining two AGV models:
- The FX04, designed for compact and dynamic movements within the production area.
- The FX10, optimized for warehouse operations and long-distance pallet handling.
In 2020, the initial installation included three FX04 units and one FX10 for warehouse storage.
As production demands grew, the system was extended in 2023 with an additional FX04 to increase transport capacity.
All AGVs are coordinated through MAXAGV’s control software, ensuring real-time task allocation and synchronization with Emballator’s ERP system. The result is a stable, self-regulating logistics environment that supports uninterrupted production.
The Impact & Result: Stability, Accessibility, and Control
The collaboration with MAXAGV has enabled Emballator to achieve a fully automated and highly accessible production process.
Material flows are now predictable, traceable, and continuously monitored, allowing for improved operational control and resource efficiency.
Key results include:
- Seamless 24/7 production flow with automated transport between all process stages.
- Improved safety and reduced manual handling.
- Real-time visibility of system performance and material statistics.
- Scalable platform ready for future capacity increases.
