AOTENENG’s Switch Track RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) is an intelligent material handling solution designed for factories that require flexible routing, multi-zone coverage, and scalable automation. By combining rail-guided transport with automated track switching, this system allows a single RGV or multiple RGVs to travel across different routes and stations within one integrated network.

It is an ideal choice for modern factories seeking to connect production, assembly, testing, and warehouse areas through a unified logistics system.

Multi-Route Switching for Flexible Material Distribution

Unlike fixed straight or loop systems, the Switch Track RGV uses rail turnouts (switch points) to dynamically change travel paths. This enables one vehicle to access multiple routes, stations, or work zones without additional vehicles or duplicate tracks.

As a result, material distribution becomes more flexible, and overall system utilization is significantly improved—especially in factories with complex layouts or variable production flows.

Intelligent Track Switching System

The system is equipped with automatic switch mechanisms, position sensors, and safety interlocks to ensure precise and reliable route transitions.

Each track switch is controlled by the central PLC or dispatching system, allowing:

• Accurate positioning before switching

• Safe locking of turnouts during vehicle passage

• Real-time status monitoring of track and vehicle position

This intelligent switching logic ensures smooth operation even in multi-RGV, multi-route environments.

Perfect for Multi-Zone Production and Storage Areas

The Switch Track RGV is designed to support multiple functional zones within a single logistics network, including:

• Production lines

• Assembly and testing areas

• Buffer zones

• Warehouses and outbound logistics areas

By linking these zones through switch tracks, factories can simplify material flow, reduce manual handling, and improve overall logistics coordination.

Scalable Design for Future Factory Expansion

Thanks to its modular rail and control architecture, the Switch Track RGV system can be easily expanded or reconfigured as production needs evolve. Additional routes, stations, or switch points can be added without replacing the entire system.

This scalability helps protect long-term investment and supports gradual factory automation upgrades.
