Transbotics showcases natural navigation automated lift truck

Transbotics Corp. (Booth B5047) displayed an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) lift truck that uses natural navigation technology, rather than needing special reflectors or markers.


Transbotics Corp. (Booth B5047) displayed an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) lift truck that uses natural navigation technology, rather than needing special reflectors or markers.

The navigation technology gives end user organizations the freedom to quickly arrange or rearrange where AGVs move in a warehouse or factory, said Jayesh Mehta, Transbotics marketing manager, because there is no navigation infrastructure to install. The natural navigation was developed by Transbotics’ controls partner, Kollmorgen.

“We take the best components and use our engineering and application knowledge to integrate everything into a solution,” said Mehta. “We are like a cook who takes good ingredients and makes it into a satisfying meal.”



Modex 2018 is scheduled to be held April 9-12 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
