Path route &#038; operational changes are executed with a visual path PC model program and uploaded to the PC system controller allowing your system to be altered in mere minutes.<\/p>\n<p>CONTACT: 616 791-8540<br \/>\nWEBSITE: www.agvsystems.com<\/p>\n<p> <p class=\"wpsm-hide\" style=\"color: #cc0000; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;\"> Less<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-aydos9-03f54ab2618d65d24254096b02bda202\">\n#top .hr.av-aydos9-03f54ab2618d65d24254096b02bda202{\nmargin-top:40;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-aydos9-03f54ab2618d65d24254096b02bda202 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100;\nborder-color:#0057d1;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-aydos9-03f54ab2618d65d24254096b02bda202 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#b02b2c;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-aydos9-03f54ab2618d65d24254096b02bda202 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-42  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-92kmp5-b433c20e8db38b829f493ce8130d3d39\">\n.flex_column.av-92kmp5-b433c20e8db38b829f493ce8130d3d39{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-92kmp5-b433c20e8db38b829f493ce8130d3d39 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-85o03d-1db2ebac5ca9951cfc0e7a09177c6c74\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-85o03d-1db2ebac5ca9951cfc0e7a09177c6c74 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#0048ce;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-85o03d-1db2ebac5ca9951cfc0e7a09177c6c74 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Over 70 Years<br \/>\nof AGV Experience<br \/>\nto Help Customers<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-6hf5e1-0f6166931854dbc184e9ad135593f4f3\">\n.avia-video.av-6hf5e1-0f6166931854dbc184e9ad135593f4f3{\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/agvsystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/vidtuc.jpg);\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-video av-6hf5e1-0f6166931854dbc184e9ad135593f4f3 avia-video-16-9 av-preview-image avia-video-lightbox av-lazyload-video-embed avia-video-external-service'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JBOsXE7F1Rk&autoplay=1'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><a href='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JBOsXE7F1Rk&autoplay=1' class='mfp-iframe lightbox-link'><\/a><\/script><div class=\"av-click-to-play-overlay play-lightbox\"><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4k42ux-f4219c11747aac8ca225d775a3dbfec9 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"feed-shared-text relative feed-shared-update-v2__commentary \" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><strong>Savant continues to innovate using customer experience to create robust, flexible, &#8220;AGV Technology Truly Focused on the User.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With over 70 years of AGV history, Savant continues to innovate using customer experience to create robust, flexible, &#8216;AGV Technology Truly Focused on the User&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Our Virtual Path (CAD map) AGVs do NOT employ vulnerable Navigation references like floor tape, active RFID in-floor tags, reflective targets or often blocked, natural features (walls).

The AGVs elevate the container and signal the chute to open. The filling chute closes when the container receives the correct about of ingredient product. The AGV then lowers the container and travels to the assigned processing machine.<\/p>\n<p>When the AGV arrives at the designated processing machine, it elevates the loaded container and positions it over the machine\u2019s hopper.

An easy to change map file the vehicles follow allows unlimited system expansion and change flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Savant\u2019s one-of-kind combination of Navigation, Vehicle and System Technology provides the most versatile, flexible, reliable, and affordable guided vehicle system solutions compared to what others offer.<\/p>\n<p>Use the Quote Form, available on our website, to provide the information that will allow us to propose the optimal guided vehicle system solution for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>CONTACT: 616 791-8540<\/p>\n<p> <p class=\"wpsm-hide\" style=\"color: #cc0000; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;\"> Less<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kxj5nrbk-58-ca9bd046d7e478719e5a40dfcb77e365\">\n#top .hr.av-kxj5nrbk-58-ca9bd046d7e478719e5a40dfcb77e365{\nmargin-top:40;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-kxj5nrbk-58-ca9bd046d7e478719e5a40dfcb77e365 .hr-inner{\nwidth:100;\nborder-color:#0057d1;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-kxj5nrbk-58-ca9bd046d7e478719e5a40dfcb77e365 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#b02b2c;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kxj5nrbk-58-ca9bd046d7e478719e5a40dfcb77e365 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-57  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1vycy1-57-7f8f7e181a51ba61ca6aa4a75716a702\">\n.flex_column.av-1vycy1-57-7f8f7e181a51ba61ca6aa4a75716a702{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1vycy1-57-7f8f7e181a51ba61ca6aa4a75716a702 av_one_third  avia-builder-el-58  el_after_av_one_third  el_before_av_one_third  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kxi3noxb-56-2a4763be064e40d9a54b891eb1e141da\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-kxi3noxb-56-2a4763be064e40d9a54b891eb1e141da .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#0048ce;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kxi3noxb-56-2a4763be064e40d9a54b891eb1e141da '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Precise AGV Navigation<br \/>\nfor Robotic<br \/>\nInterface<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kxj4zhn4-55-18b0aeff5e85d2a2e9c5214835657d4e\">\n.avia-video.av-kxj4zhn4-55-18b0aeff5e85d2a2e9c5214835657d4e{\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/agvsystems.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/RMR_vidscr.jpg);\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-video av-kxj4zhn4-55-18b0aeff5e85d2a2e9c5214835657d4e avia-video-16-9 av-preview-image avia-video-lightbox av-lazyload-video-embed avia-video-standard-html'  itemprop=\"video\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"  data-original_url='https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:6903099325560565760?compact=1'><script type='text\/html' class='av-video-tmpl'><a href='https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/embed\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:6903099325560565760?compact=1' rel='lightbox' class='mfp-iframe lightbox-link'><\/a><\/script><div class=\"av-click-to-play-overlay play-lightbox\"><div class=\"avia_playpause_icon\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kxi3xfe2-54-c8a87de1e31cc49bcd300e9f6929f435 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div class=\"feed-shared-text relative feed-shared-update-v2__commentary \" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p><strong>Talk is Cheap\u2026\u2026This is Where the Rubber Hits the Road!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s our tall-profile AGV with a unique load handling attachment designed to move special racks with molded parts between robotic cells.

Savant\u2019s \u2018Virtual Path\u2019 AGV navigation enables the multiple AGVs to reliably perform the necessary positioning with no tolerance buildup between moves.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t do these automated vehicle systems with AMR type technology. AMR (Lidar-laser and\/or Vision-camera based) navigation requires walls be scanned (mapped) for use as navigation references. If the AMR can\u2019t see those mapped references reliably (because they are randomly blocked by other objects), the AMR navigation accuracy rapidly deteriorates and it can\u2019t align with automatic load transfer stations or worse, it will have to stop. That can\u2019t happen with a Savant AGV because our references (a tiny magnet placed flush in the floor) can\u2019t be blocked or fail so \u2018reference vulnerability\u2019 is not an issue like it is for natural feature (line-of-sight, wall reference dependent navigation) AMRs.<\/p>\n<p>A robust \u2018system\u2019 is not just about robust \u2018vehicles\u2019\u2026 it\u2019s also about robust \u2018technology\u2019.

Some better than others but all directly impact the robustness of a system.<\/p>\n<p>Technology is \u201cwhat you don\u2019t appreciate until it bites you in the butt and negatively impacts your day-to-day operations (i.e. output &#038; costs)\u201d.

What differentiates Savant from others is we have always been a \u2018full-service\u2019 AGV business with our own in-house developed, state-of-the-art AGV\/AMR technology, our own manufactured vehicles, provided all project implementation services and supplied all parts &#038; service aftermarket support for our customers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show_more\"><p class=\"wpsm-show\" style=\"color: #cc0000; font-size: 120%; text-align: left;\"> Read More...<\/p><div class=\"wpsm-content\"><\/p>\n<p>Long term support is critical to any system end-user. Will their system technology be supplier-supported 10 or 20 years from now? A system supplier can\u2019t truly be the technology support expert to the end-user, if their core AGV\/AMR technology was licensed from a 3rd party who can decide to discontinue that technology.

If an AMR can&#8217;t see walls (it&#8217;s primary reference) at least 80% of the time, it can stop navigating! So things that move around off-aisle in your facility (pallets, racks, forklifts, carts, etc.) and block line-of-sight to the &#8216;natural feature&#8217; references AMRs depend on, will create frequent and unpredictable navigation stoppages. You don&#8217;t want deal with that randomly occurring every day. It &#8216;kills&#8217; the whole premise of an automated system if people have to constantly intervene because of random events causing vehicle stoppages that interrupt critical load transportation processes in your facility. That can&#8217;t happen with Savant AGVs because our &#8216;references&#8217; are simple markers in the floor that are always visible to the AGVs.<\/p>\n<p>There is no substitute for guided\/autonomous vehicle automation experience and given we invented the AGV in 1954, Savant has been in the business way longer than anyone.

The AGV can navigate forward or backward into cart parking spurs. Efficient &#038; safe multiple vehicle traffic control maximizes system throughput (loads moved per hour per vehicle).<\/p>\n<p>Carts loads can be racks, pallets, boxes, totes, rolls, or other materials. Virtually any size or type cart that has the minimal underside clearance to accommodate the low-profile AGV can be transported automatically.
