Intralogistic automation that reduces internal movement delays.
Material waits create hidden downtime in dispatch, stores, and production supply. Qubotix supports AGVs, mobile robots, and transfer units that move loads on planned routes.
Predictable Routes. Safer Handling. Steady Supply.
Intralogistic automation solves a simple problem: internal movement steals time and adds avoidable waiting. A reliable movement setup brings predictable routes, safer handling, and steady supply to the next station. This page covers four options that fit most plant use cases.
Automated Guided Vehicle
Fixed-route material movement without a driver — shift after shift
An AGV moves materials inside a facility without a driver and follows defined routes. It fits repeat movement between fixed points like stores, lines, and staging zones. It works best when routes stay stable and load types stay consistent.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Set fixed pickup and drop points and keep movement predictable across shifts.
- Move pallets, bins, or carts on repeat routes and reduce manual travel.
- Plan safe paths inside defined areas and reduce random forklift traffic.
- Support line feeding and finished goods transfer with repeat dispatch rules.
- Control congestion by assigning routes and schedules for movement tasks.
- Expand coverage by adding vehicles and mapping more points as demand grows.

Forklift Mobile Robot
Fork-style pallet and bin handling without manual driving
A forklift mobile robot handles pallet or bin movement in a forklift-style workflow without manual driving. It suits putaway, pickup, and transfer tasks that need fork handling. It also supports navigation modes like laser SLAM and vision navigation in common product lines such as Hikrobot FMR.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Handle pallet or bin transfer with fork-based pickup and drop cycles.
- Navigate using laser SLAM or vision navigation options based on site conditions.
- Operate in narrow aisles with models designed for compact movement.
- Support auto charging and return-to-work routines on many forklift robot lines.
- Add safety layers like obstacle avoidance and emergency stop functions found in common series.
- Reduce repeated handling tasks by assigning standard pickup and drop points for daily runs.

Latent Mobile Robot
Under-load lifting for rack, trolley, and carrier movement
A latent mobile robot uses a lifting mechanism and carries loads under racks, trolleys, or carriers. It fits internal transfer where loads sit on stands or racks and need lift-and-move handling. Product lines like Hikrobot LMR describe this lifting approach and position it for safer internal movement.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Lift and move loads through an under-load mechanism that suits rack or carrier workflows.
- Navigate using options like Laser-SLAM and other guidance methods in common model lines.
- Carry heavy loads in many latent robot categories, including 1.5T class models in some ranges.
- Support auto charging and return-to-task behaviour on several latent robot lines.
- Improve safety with obstacle avoidance and emergency stop features common in this category.
- Improve internal transfer flow by assigning repeat routes for stores-to-line supply runs.

Carton Transfer Unit
High-throughput carton and tote movement between storage and stations
A carton transfer unit focuses on carton or tote movement and supports multi-carton transfer in one trip. It suits picking and transfer workflows that need high throughput.
Applications
Key Highlights
- Transfer multiple cartons or totes in one run and reduce repeated manual trips
- Improve picking throughput by moving cartons between storage and picking points
- Support docking and transfer workflows connecting lines or machines
- Handle cartons, trays, and pallets across several CTU-style ranges
- Increase storage utilisation with goods-to-person movement patterns
- Reduce picking travel time with a defined transfer loop

Common Questions
01.Where does an AGV fit better than a mobile robot?
An AGV fits repeat routes between fixed points and stable load types. A mobile robot fits changing pickup points and mixed movement tasks.
02.What inputs help define an internal movement plan?
Start with load type, pickup and drop points, aisle width, and daily trip count. Add shift schedule and handoff method at stations.
03.What tasks suit a forklift mobile robot best?
Fork-style pickup and drop cycles suit pallets and standard bins. The category also supports navigation approaches like laser SLAM and vision navigation in common product lines.
04.What makes a latent mobile robot useful?
The lifting mechanism helps move loads that sit on carriers or racks. It supports lift-and-move flow for internal transfer.
05.What does a carton transfer unit improve?
A CTU supports multi-carton transfer and fits picking transfer loops. It reduces travel time in carton movement workflows.
