AGV Solutions

Automated Guided Vehicles for manufacturing and warehouse logistics

AGV Solutions for Singapore Industries

As an authorized SIASUN distributor since 2017, Motionwell delivers AGV solutions for manufacturing and warehouse logistics across Singapore. Our integration focus is practical: route governance, station handshakes, safety zoning, and system interfaces that keep daily operations predictable.

What is an AGV?

An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) follows predefined routes using guidance infrastructure and fleet control rules. AGVs are often chosen for stable routes and repeatable, high-volume flows where deterministic behavior is valuable.

AGV Types We Integrate

AGV type	Typical tasks	Typical payload class (model-dependent)
Forklift AGV	Pallet pick/drop, rack interface, warehouse movements	1,000–3,000 kg
Tow tractor AGV	Multi-cart towing, milk-run logistics	Project-dependent
Unit load AGV	Platform transport with fixtures or conveyor top	Project-dependent
Latent mobile robot	Rack lifting and goods-to-person workflows	Project-dependent

Navigation method	Facility impact	Typical fit
Magnetic guidance	Requires defined routes on floor; changes are controlled	Stable loops and defined lanes
Marker-based guidance	Requires marker maintenance	Precise checkpoints and repeatable docking
Laser SLAM / natural navigation	Less physical infrastructure, more software governance	Facilities that expect reconfiguration

Industry Applications

Industry	Common workflows
Manufacturing	Line feeding, WIP transport, tool/fixture delivery
Logistics and warehousing	Pallet transport, inbound/outbound routing, goods-to-person support
Electronics	Cleanroom-compatible material movement (project-dependent)
Pharmaceutical and medical	Controlled logistics with batch traceability (project-dependent)

Integration Services

Service area	What we deliver
Site assessment	Traffic analysis, route planning, safety concept and constraints
System integration	Fleet rules, station interfaces, charging strategy, WMS/MES interfaces
Project delivery	Commissioning, training, documentation, support packages

Reference Program: ASRS Warehouse Automation (Project 0020)

Project 0020 is a delivered warehouse automation program that shows the type of integration discipline required for high-volume logistics systems.

Aspect	Project 0020 summary (high-level)
Industry	Medical consumables warehouse (BD syringe cartons)
Core automation	ASRS stacker crane + pallet conveyor lines
Robotics	FANUC palletizing robot integrated with conveyor and safety fencing
Systems	WMS for location management and inventory traceability
Relevance to AGV programs	Stable flows and deterministic traceability requirements are shared across many guided-vehicle deployments

AGV vs AMR (How to Choose)

Decision factor	AGV fit	AMR fit
Route stability	Strong	Moderate
Layout changes	Weaker	Strong
Deterministic lanes	Strong	Strong (with policy)
Facility modifications	Often required	Usually lower

Frequently Asked Questions

Question	Answer
How much does an AGV cost in Singapore?	Cost depends on payload class, navigation method, station interfaces, and integration scope. A meaningful quote requires your workflow map and station list.
Can AGVs work alongside human workers?	Yes, when safety zoning, speed limits, right-of-way rules, and recovery procedures are engineered and validated for your environment.
Do you provide maintenance services?	Yes. Support options include preventive maintenance, spare parts planning, and emergency response arrangements.
Can we start small and scale?	Yes. Many projects begin with a limited set of missions, then expand routes and interfaces after operational stability is proven.
