Exclusively by MOBILE ROBOTS:
The compact automated guided vehicle system for pallet transport

As the No. 1 integrator of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in Germany and Switzerland, we have taken over the exclusive distribution of the Nipper Pallet Truck. By autonomously transporting pallets weighing up to 1,000 kg, Nipper helps to significantly reduce your operating expenses; you can certainly use your personnel more sensibly for less monotonous tasks than in intralogistics.

The most compact autonomous mobile robot currently available, which picks up pallets with its forks directly from the ground, does not require any intervention in your structural infrastructure. As a reference for orientation and navigation, the Nipper Pallet Truck quickly and easily uses mapped structures and contours in its working environment; the integration of complex inductive guidance systems or magnets is therefore completely unnecessary. Based on a route instructed one time, the mobile robot will reliably find the way during its future unmanned operations for internal pallet transport.

Installations such as fixed lifting or transfer stations in your production or warehouse are not intended for the use of the maneuverable forklift AGV. With its sensors, the autonomous pallet transporter positions itself precisely and can even correct its alignment by a compensating lateral movement at a 90° angle to the longitudinal axis in front of a targeted spot. Like a lift truck, the Nipper Pallet Truck then moves its forks under the Euro pallet in order to lift it up from the floor for transport up to a maximum lifting height of 223 mm. This ensures highly flexible automation of your intralogistics.
 

Autonomous intralogistics 4.0 for maximum efficiency, flexibility & safety.

The reliable precision that the AGV covers its distances with at a maximum speed of 3.6 m/s also applies to maneuvering, shunting and precise placement of the goods. For maximum exact positioning, the AGV achieves an accuracy of +/- 1 cm and +/- 1° through its integrated industrial encoders and laser scanners.

Since intralogistics is naturally a dynamic process in everyday business, the AGV detects obstacles by means of its advanced safety features and comes to a stop in front of them in time. For this purpose, the flexibly deployable transport robot meets high safety standards. Equipped with acoustic and visual signaling, a comprehensive safety system consisting of laser scanners with integrated safety zones, BlueSpot, emergency stop bumpers at ground level and emergency stop switches, the automated guided vehicle system works collaboratively in environments where people are active. In this way, the Nipper Pallet Truck helps to actively prevent operational accidents and damage.

After commissioning and training by us as your certified, exclusive Nipper partner, you will be able to program your AGV completely independently and freely. Set up your desired routes with pick-up/drop-off points and parking zones for the transport robot. Modify existing commands and adapt changes to your intralogistics easily with the intuitive user interface. As a Nipper integrator, we provide you with free updates or point out their availability from the manufacturer. WLAN is all you need. Intelligent software communicates with the Pallet Truck via the wireless network. After your commands have been accepted, the autonomous pallet truck executes them independently. By means of a compact end device of your choice, you can identify its respective position at the site as well as track the current mission status. The integrated battery management system ensures efficient energy supply and short charging times; the charging process starts at the right time automatically. This applies to individual vehicles as well as to an entire fleet of system-integrated Nipper Pallet Trucks.
