Autoguided cart Snox Cart

The snoxCart is ideal for simple and repetitive tasks. It can carry a variety of products, pull standard pallet trucks by automatically uncoupling the items at the required spot, etc.

The automated guided cart communicates with a central computer which in turn controls up to 200 AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) simultaneously.

It is often used for linking various production lines or buildings, or as a link between a storage warehouse and production machines.

The carrier version of the automated guided cart can be placed at the end of the production line or in parallel to the conveyor for load transfer purposes.

In its simple and robust design, we focused on an AGV's essential components: motorisation (propulsion and steering), guidance modules, I/O management, safety control, running of programs and battery integration .

Of course, the snoxCart AGV can be fitted with far more sophisticated functions in order to satisfy your project requirements exactly (see data table).

AGV applications

  • Link between the storage warehouse and despatch bay in a spare parts warehouse
  • Creation of a train of carts to feed raw materials to production lines
  • Link between stock and production, by transporting raw materials and returning with finished products
