Motormouse AGV with Infrared communication

 arrow.gif (895 bytes) Nuyts Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) , intelligente Transportsysteme (ITS), provide the ultimate in  system flexibility and production integration and is supplied in a number of different versions. Based upon the MotormouseŽ AGV (FTS),the ITS can be manually operated for simple transport assignments through to fully automatic systems with a variety of load-handling devices and operated via a central computer.

 By entering the destination manually via the keyboard on the control panel.

Data is transmitted either by infrared or by radio equipment. Track changes are simple for the customer to make themselves on the computer screen due to the modular structure of the Nuyts software.

It identifies transfer stations, arranges for product to be loaded/unloaded, recognises intersections and protects personnel from accidents by means of an infrared anti-collision system.
