PC-based control for AGVs

Compact and high-performance control technology for AGVs and mobile robots

PC-based control and compact drive technology – the open and high-performance automation platform for AGVs and AMRs.
PC-based control and compact drive technology – the open and high-performance automation platform for AGVs and AMRs.

The combination of e-commerce, cost pressure, and staff shortages are driving a real trend in intra- and production logistics toward the increasing use of automated guided vehicles (AGV) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR). This is where our flexibly configurable PC- and EtherCAT-based control technology offers the ideal solution for automating your autonomous vehicles and mobile robots.

Your head start in mobile robotics with Beckhoff:

  • save valuable installation space with one of the most compact controls for AGVs on the market
  • benefit from all technologies – control, robotics, motion control, drives, I/Os, navigation, and safety – integrated into a single platform
  • enjoy investment and life-cycle protection as well as flexibility thanks to Beckhoff’s control system architecture, openness and EtherCAT
  • take advantage of comprehensive industry expertise based on decades of cooperation with end users

PC-based control for high-performance AGV and AMR

The market for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) is experiencing exponential growth. This expansion in terms of both the variety and quantity of applications is driving a corresponding increase in the demands on the automation technology. No matter how diverse your tasks may be, Beckhoff's open and flexibly configurable platform, which provides complete protection from system-obsolescence, allows you to automate all aspects of your AGV using a single high-performance industrial PC or embedded PC – including robotics, safety, battery management, and navigation. How can all functions be integrated into the smallest of spaces and what cost-saving opportunities does PC-based control bring to the table? What methods can be used to reduce the number of different controls?
