INDUSTRY 4.0

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

We supply one of the enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 by designing, manufacturing, install and maintaining connected products. We offer services of connectivity and integration with users, predictive maintenance and performance analysis, with more knowledge of plant performance, making multi-site comparisons, analysing applications based on shifts...

Our mobile robots are not only the company's system, transporting goods from one place to another, but at the same time they are your nervous system because they transmit information. They collect data and move it. With all the information they generate, in what we call the 'Facebook of machines or our Cloud', we can extract a lot of value. All our mobile robots have an on-board PC, a lot of sensors, and it's like a walking loT chip, which is 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 facilites layout.

Magnetic navigation

The AGV reads with a magnetic antenna the magnetic tape laid out on the floor.

Navegacion01

Optical navigation

The AGV reads with an onboard camera the painted line which marks the routes.

Navegacion02

Laser navigation

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

Navegacion03

QR navigation

The AGV reads with an on board camera the QR codes which are laid out on the floor as a matrix, to identify both its location and instructions to follow.

Navegacion04

Natural navigation

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

Navegacion05

Dual navigation

Combination of different navigation systems, switching from one mode to the other depending on the AGV’s position on the layout.

BATTERY AND CHARGING SYSTEMS

Our full range of energy systems

Provides 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 allowed in the areas where the loading is done: clean rooms, explosive areas, 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 charge level below the programmed limit and the operator performs the exchange.

Carga01

Automatic battery interchange

The AGV moves to the automatic battery exchange position when it detects a charge level 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 dance at the pace of your facilities through our IT system

ASTI Mobile Robotics is an expert in industrial connectivity. Our systems allow us to connect our vehicle fleets with 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 , regulate the priority of the AGVs movements and manage bidirectional communication with all plant elements and customer management systems.

Host

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