Robotics cooperation
TGW and Safelog work together
TGW Logistics Group further expands its solution competence in the field of mobile robotics and enters into a partnership with Safelog.
TGW plans and implements highly automated fulfillment centers and, as a system integrator, offers complete solutions from a single source - from incoming goods to storage, picking and packing to outgoing goods. The area of mobile transport robots is playing an increasingly important role. The cooperation includes the project-related delivery of all agent-based AGV systems from Safelog. As Safelog produces the AGVs in series, the robotics manufacturer can also deliver large quantities promptly. The agent-based transport robots produced in Germany are marketed by TGW under the name 'Quba'. This allows AGV fleets of a few to several hundred devices to be operated without a control station. Additional robots can be integrated into the system at short notice. Thanks to the decentralized control system, in the event of a malfunction, only the affected vehicle is at a standstill while the swarm continues to carry out its tasks.
