Heavy-Duty AGV for Automated Material Handling in Printing Equipment Workshop
A customized heavy-duty AGV solution designed for automated transportation of equipment modules, production materials and heavy components between multiple workstations in an industrial manufacturing workshop.
Automated Material Transfer Between Production Workstations
In printing equipment and machinery manufacturing workshops, large equipment modules, sheet materials, components and assemblies frequently need to move between fabrication, assembly and production stations.
Traditional handling methods often rely on forklifts, overhead cranes or manual coordination, especially when loads need to be transferred repeatedly between fixed production areas.
For this project, BECHUR provided a customized heavy-duty AGV material handling solution to automate repetitive transport tasks inside the workshop.
The AGV can move along configured routes between different work areas, carry compatible equipment modules or materials, and deliver them to designated positions without requiring a fixed rail system.
Reducing Manual Handling Between Multiple Production Areas
The customer required a more automated method for transporting heavy equipment modules and production materials while adapting to the existing workshop layout.
Customized Heavy-Duty AGV for Intelligent Workshop Logistics
BECHUR developed an autonomous heavy-duty AGV based on the customer’s workshop routes, transported equipment dimensions and production process requirements.
The low-profile vehicle body provides a stable platform for transporting compatible equipment modules, fixtures and industrial materials. Customized upper load carriers can also be configured according to different workpieces.
Instead of requiring operators to drive the transport vehicle throughout the entire process, the AGV can execute programmed transportation tasks and move between designated workstations according to the configured control logic.
Safety sensing devices around the vehicle provide obstacle awareness during travel, helping the AGV operate in active industrial environments shared with personnel and equipment.

Designed for Automated Heavy-Duty Workshop Logistics
Automated Material Transport
The AGV performs programmed transport tasks between designated production and material handling areas, reducing repeated manual driving.
Heavy-Duty Load Platform
The reinforced low-profile structure provides stable support for industrial equipment modules, fixtures and other heavy production loads.
Flexible AGV Navigation
The AGV follows configured workshop routes and can connect multiple workstations without requiring fixed transfer rails.
Obstacle Detection Protection
Safety sensing devices monitor the surrounding operating area and support obstacle detection during autonomous vehicle travel.
Workstation Positioning
The AGV can move to configured loading, unloading and process positions to support repeatable material transfer between production areas.
Customized Load Interface
Vehicle dimensions, upper load carrier, control logic and safety configuration can be adapted to actual equipment and production requirements.
From Manual Transfer to Automated Workshop Logistics
The value of the AGV in this project is not simply replacing one transfer vehicle with another. It provides an automated connection between different production processes.
Repetitive transport tasks can be standardized, allowing materials and equipment modules to move between designated work areas according to the production process.
- Automated point-to-point material delivery
- Repeatable transport between production stations
- Reduced forklift participation in repetitive tasks
- Flexible routing inside the existing workshop
- Safety sensing for shared industrial environments
- Customized load carrier for different equipment modules
Heavy-Duty AGV Autonomous Transport Demonstration
On-site operation demonstrates autonomous movement and point-to-point transportation inside the manufacturing workshop.
Automated Workstation-to-Workstation Material Transfer
The AGV connects material preparation, production and assembly areas through a repeatable automated transport process.
Task Assignment
A transport task is assigned according to the required material or production process.
Load Pickup
The AGV moves to the designated loading point for equipment or material transfer.
Autonomous Transport
The vehicle follows the configured route while safety sensors monitor the surrounding operating area.
Workstation Delivery
The AGV reaches the target position for unloading, assembly or the next production process.
A More Automated and Flexible Internal Logistics Process
The heavy-duty AGV provides an automated transport link between multiple production areas. Repetitive material movement can be completed along configured routes while reducing dependence on manually driven transport equipment and improving the consistency of internal logistics.
Customized Around the Production Process
BECHUR heavy-duty AGVs can be configured according to actual loads, workshop routes, loading interfaces and automation requirements.
