Line starvation and waiting
When a material call is formed late or incorrectly prioritized, the production station waits for feed even if equipment is ready.

Production Line Material Handling (AMR, AGV and Conveyors)
Deliver the right material along the right route, at the right time, using the right handling technology.
We automate line feeding, work-in-progress transfers and finished-product outfeed by coordinating AMRs, AGVs, conveyors and transfer stations through shared task management.
Explore the solution
Design the transport equipment not alone, but in conjunction with the production rhythm and station needs.
Forklift and manual traffic
When frequently repeated fixed transport assignments intersect with pedestrian paths and production areas, safety, space, and operational discipline weaken.
Disconnected task information
When the production order, warehouse movement, and transport task remain in different systems, it is difficult to deliver the right load to the right station.
Initiate every transport task with a production context;
Confirm with physical delivery.
Line feeding is not just moving from point A to point B. Material demand, load identity, equipment suitability, traffic conditions and station capacity are assessed in a common task flow.
Create the request
Production, kanban, a call button or a higher-level system provides the required material and timing information.
→Schedule task
The appropriate transport resource is selected according to priority, route, equipment type, battery state and traffic conditions.
→Carry the load safely.
Mobile robots, AGVs, conveyors or hybrid arrangements perform the task using defined handshake signals.
→Verify the handover
Cargo, station and work order matching is checked; inventory and job record is updated.
/ TECHNOLOGY CHOICE AND SCOPESelect the right technology mix
Select the right technology mix
for the complete material flow.
Fixed, continuous flows and variable routes may require different transport technologies within the same factory.
Constant and continuous flow
Repeated routing, high frequency and defined load interfaces provide uninterrupted transfer.
Predictable route
It performs regular transport in fixed source-target pairs, with defined routes and controlled traffic structure.
Dynamic and flexible tasks
It provides flexible movement on variable routes, at multi-mission points and in the need of incremental growth.
Station and load interface
Rollers, chains, lifts, tooling and sensors provide mechanical and digital verification of load pickup and drop-off.
Line-side balancing
Interim stock, full-empty carrier separation and queue management buffer changes in production rhythm.
Joint task and traffic management
ERP, MES, and WMS requests are translated into equipment tasks; priority, traffic, and exceptions are centrally managed.
/ CHOOSE THE RIGHT ARCHITECTUREStart with the flow profile,
Start with the flow profile,
then select and size the technology.
- 01Flow type and distance
Continuous or call-based movement, route length, and source-target number are evaluated together.
- 02Cargo and station interface
Verify the dimensions, weight and transfer method of each pallet, crate, tote, trolley or special fixture.
- 03Variability and scale
The new station, product range, shift and how to add capacity increases to the system are planned.
- 04Safety and continuity
Pedestrian traffic, escape routes, charging, fault recovery and manual backup scenarios are designed.
From flow data to commissioning, Six confirmed steps.
- 01Map the material flow
Source, destination, load type, transport frequency, peak period and empty returns are mapped.
- 02Measure the production rate
Define takt time, buffers, waiting times, call timing and the acceptable delivery window.
- 03Match the technologies
Conveyor, AGV, AMR and transfer stations are selected according to the needs of each task profile.
- 04Simulate traffic
Route intersections, charging, queue, station occupancy and equipment number are tested with scenarios.
- 05Confirm integration
ERP/MES/WMS messages, station handshakes, and error recovery flows are tested within the FAT/SAT framework.
- 06Commission in stages
Line or area-based transitions are made; performance is monitored to improve route and mission rules.
Synchronised, traceable transport
at every stage of production logistics.
Line Feed
Supply of raw materials, components, kits and packaging material to the station according to production needs.
WIP transfer
Transfer of semi-finished products between operations with preservation of identity and process sequence.
Empty carrier return
Collection, sorting and recirculation of crates, pallets and production trolleys.
Finished product release
Transfer of loads from the line exit to the quality, warehouse or delivery area in the correct order.
