Dematic Third Generated Freezer-rated AGVs

Dematic has launched its latest freezer-rated automated guided vehicles (AGVs), with a third-generation model featuring advancements in sensor and navigation technology that meet recently updated global safety standards. The full range of AGVs — including high-reach and counterbalance — are now all rated for deployment in freezer environments.

An AGV system removes occupational health and safety risks associated with workers exposed to cold environments, as well as the reduced productivity, because it can operate full-time in temperatures down to -25°C — picking and transporting product in freezer environments.

AGVs operating in Australia are covered under the recently updated Australian Standard - AS 5144-4 (equivalent to international standard - ISO 3691-4). This standard specifies clear procedures for achieving safety for both manufacturers and operators.

Dematic third-generation freezer-rated AGVs include safety features such as 360° safety scanning system with automatic slowing and stopping, easily accessible emergency stop buttons, visual and audible warning and alarm lights, redundant and safety-rated features and a compliant system and solution design.
