Semi-Automated RGV | Intelligent Hybrid System for Controlled Material Handling

AOTENENG’s Semi-Automated RGV offers a balance between manual control and automation. Equipped with sensors and PLC connectivity, it provides safe, efficient material handling for modern factories.

AOTENENG’s Semi-Automated RGV is designed to bridge the gap between manual handling and fully automated logistics. By combining operator-initiated control with pre-programmed routes and intelligent navigation, this hybrid solution enables factories to improve efficiency while maintaining operational flexibility.

It is an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking a smooth, low-risk transition toward full automation.

Hybrid Control Between Manual and Automated Operation

Semi-automated RGVs allow operators to manually initiate movement or task execution, while the vehicle follows pre-set tracks, speeds, and stop points under automated control.

This hybrid control model reduces operator workload while ensuring precise navigation and consistent material delivery between stations.

Smooth Transition Toward Full Automation

Designed for factories upgrading from manual systems, the Semi-Automated RGV supports both remote/manual operation and programmable logic control.

As automation requirements grow, additional software modules and sensors can be activated, allowing the system to evolve into a fully automated solution without replacing the vehicle or track infrastructure.

Intelligent Navigation and Obstacle Detection

Equipped with proximity sensors, obstacle detection modules, and intelligent safety logic, the RGV continuously monitors its surroundings during movement.

When obstacles are detected, the system can slow down, stop, or reroute according to predefined safety rules, ensuring secure operation in mixed human-machine environments.

Seamless Integration with Production Scheduling Systems

The Semi-Automated RGV integrates easily with PLC, MES, or production scheduling systems, enabling automated task triggering and workflow synchronization between workstations.

This integration improves material flow coordination, reduces waiting time, and enhances overall production efficiency.

Energy-Efficient Operation with Auto-Charging Capability

Designed for long operational uptime, the Semi-Automated RGV features energy-efficient drive systems and supports automatic return-to-charge functionality.

When idle or low on power, the vehicle can automatically navigate to a charging station, reducing operator intervention and ensuring consistent availability.
