Automated transfer vehicle PF3 OMNI

AGVfor airport warehouse

Overview
Stäubli designs and manufactures modular mobile robot platforms for industrial intralogistics and heavy handling. Over 20 years the series has delivered agile, omnidirectional motion for automated transport. The portfolio covers payloads from 1.5 t up to 450 t, positioning precision ±5 mm and configurable drive concepts. Stäubli fleet software synchronizes vehicle fleets and provides data-driven insights for optimized operations.

Main features and benefits

• Agile motion
