Flexible

BATTALION's towing fleet adapts to your floor. fixed routes, dynamic SLAM or hybrid. Re-route in minutes as your aisles, racks and SKUs change.

How It Works

Connect

Connect

AGV auto-couples to carts, trailers or material trains. No operator intervention required.

See

Laser SLAM and 360° sensors map the floor in real time, identifying people, racks and obstacles.

Route

Route

The fleet brain picks the safest, fastest path and coordinates with every other AGV on the floor.

Deliver

How Towing 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.

Towing Bot AGV Robots

BATTALION towing bot AGVs combine industrial sensors, navigation systems and automatic coupling technology to automate heavy-duty material transport in factories and warehouses.
