Why Choose an Outdoor AGV?

Traditional AGVs are designed for the controlled environment of a warehouse. As soon as they move outdoors, slopes, weather conditions, and varying light levels become insurmountable obstacles.

Movanis Outdoor AGVs are built on robust chassis and equipped with advanced sensor technology specifically calibrated for the challenging environment between production halls and outdoor warehouses (outdoor storage).

⚙️ Technical Superiority

  • Hybrid Navigation: Seamless transition between Natural Feature and GPS navigation.
  • IP-Certified: Fully protected against heavy rainfall and dust ingress.
  • Slope Correction: Powerful drive for transport on inclines up to 10%.
  • Obstacle Detection: 360° LiDAR safety system adapted for outdoor use.

Built for the real world

Where standard AGVs are limited to smooth warehouse floors, Movanis Outdoor AGVs navigate effortlessly over asphalt, pavers, and moderate slopes. Rain, wind, or bright sunlight pose no obstacle to your logistics flow.

🛡️ Full 360° Safety

Hybrid Navigation: Never Lost Again

Indoors, we use Natural Feature Navigation (LiDAR), where the AGV recognizes its environment based on walls and racks. Outdoors, the system seamlessly switches to RTK-GPS. This hybrid approach guarantees centimeter-level precision, regardless of the environment.

🛰️

Seamless Transition

No interruption when leaving the hall. The software automatically switches between sensors as the door opens.

🔋

Automatic Charging

When the battery reaches a threshold, the AGV autonomously drives to the charging station, both indoors and in a covered outdoor area.

Dynamic Safety

Safety fields adapt to speed and environment.
