SHUTTLE & TRANSFER
SHUTTLE
Fast

Speeds up to 2.0 m/s and sub-50ms fleet-coordination keep throughput high in dense, multi-zone operations.

How It Works

Pickup

Pickup

AGV receives a transfer task from your WMS and auto-navigates to the pickup zone.

How Shuttle AGV Systems Work

Navigation Systems

Laser or guided navigation allows AGVs to move across factory layouts safely while compensating for trailer dynamics.

Fleet Management Software

Controls routing, task allocation and traffic between vehicles for optimised logistics flow.

System Integration

AGVs connect to MES, WMS and ERP systems to receive tasks and coordinate with production schedules.

Continuous Execution

Vehicles move materials across defined routes delivering to production lines on schedule.

Shuttle Transfer AGV Robots

BATTALION shuttle AGVs combine industrial sensors and high-speed navigation systems to automate rapid material transfer across complex facility layouts.

Benefits of Shuttle AGV Automation

Maximise Throughput

High-speed transfers between zones keep production lines and dispatch areas fed at full pace.

Reduce Manual Handoffs

Eliminate operator-driven shuttles for routine point-to-point moves.

Flexible Routing

Fleet coordination adapts to changing layouts and priorities without manual rework.

Improve Safety

Predictable AGV paths and 360° safety zones lower the risk of pedestrian and asset incidents.

Lower Operating Cost

Continuous operation across shifts reduces labour cost per move.

Scalable Fleet

Add AGVs as throughput grows. the fleet brain handles coordination automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shuttle AGVs

A shuttle AGV is an Automated Guided Vehicle used for continuous transport of materials across a warehouse or factory.

BATTALION shuttle AGVs operate up to 1.4 m/s when loaded, with fleet-level coordination keeping cycle times consistent.

Configurable from 500 kg to 1,500 kg, including bins, totes, stillages, small pallets and custom fixtures.

BATTALION’s fleet brain plans routes, prioritises tasks and resolves traffic between AGVs in real time, with sub-50ms latency.

Yes. Full 360° lidar safety zones, conformant safety stops and predictable paths allow shuttle AGVs to operate in mixed environments with workers.

Laser SLAM for layout-flexible routing or magnetic line guidance for fixed-route operations, selected per facility.
