INDUSTRY 4.0

ASTI Mobile Robotics is an expert in industrial processes, connectivity, and customer support

We supply one of Industry 4.0’s key technologies by designing, manufacturing, installing, and maintaining connected products. We offer connectivity and integration services with users, predictive maintenance, and performance analysis with in-depth knowledge of plant performance, making multi-site comparisons, analyzing applications based on shifts...

Our mobile robots are not only the company's transportation system, moving goods from one place to another, but they are also its “nervous system” due to the information they transmit, collect, and move. With all the information they generate in what we call the 'Facebook for machines or our Cloud', we can extract very valuable information. All our mobile robots have an on-board PC and several sensors – they are like a walking loT chip, constantly collecting information.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

tech-navigation-group

Precise, reliable, and flexible navigation systems

Our different technologies can be used for vehicle location and navigation throughout the facility’s layout.

Magnetic navigation

The AGV reads the magnetic tape placed on the floor by means of a magnetic antenna.

Navegacion01

Optical navigation

The AGV reads the painted lines which mark the routes by means of an onboard camera.

Navegacion02

Laser navigation

Reflectors installed at strategic locations within the plant ensure that, wherever the AGV is on the plant floor, it can detect three reflections of the laser beam that its navigation module emits, allowing the AGV to determine its position with pinpoint accuracy.

Navegacion03

QR navigation

The AGV reads the QR codes which are laid out on the floor as a matrix by means of its on-board camera in order to identify both its location and the instructions it needs to follow.

Navegacion04

Natural navigation

The system scans the environment to create virtual maps and routes.

Navegacion05

Dual navigation

A combination of different navigation systems, switching from one mode to the other depending on the AGV’s position on the plant floor.

BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEMS

Our full range of energy systems

Providing an efficient charging strategy and powerful batteries to ensure the autonomy our AGVs need to operate.

Batteries

tech_battery-gif
tech_battery-gif-vertical

Lead-acid

Best price/performance ratio.

Gel

Used in applications where hydrogen emissions are not permitted in certain loading areas, such as clean rooms, explosive areas, or non-ventilated areas.

Li-ion

High durability, free maintenance, no memory effect, suitable for fast charges.

Charging systems

Manual battery interchange

The AGV moves to the battery exchange position when it detects a level of charge below the programmed limit, and the operator carries out the exchange.

Carga01

Automatic battery interchange

The AGV moves to the automatic battery exchange position when it detects a level of charge below the programmed limit and the exchange is performed automatically.

Carga02

Online charging (wired/wireless)

The AGV automatically connects to a charger during periods of inactivity.

COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Making the AGVs move at your facility’s pace using our IT system

ASTI Mobile Robotics is an expert in industrial connectivity. Our systems allow us to connect our vehicle fleets to the rest of our client’s systems, production lines, terminals and management systems.

The IT system is divided into different modules which are responsible for performing all orders, regulating the priority of the AGVs’ movements and managing bidirectional communication with all plant elements and customer management systems.

Host

Responsible for collecting all AGVs orders and movements that the system must perform.
