The DÜRR AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) shows the future of industrial conveyor technology. The AGV moves individual components and entire carbodies separately and flexibly, instead of using a linear conveyor system as was previously the case. They move without rails or contact loops, are freely programmable like robots and can therefore be controlled completely autonomously.
