Without detours to a safe AGV environment

Where humans and automated guided vehicles (AGV) share a workspace, special safety requirements apply. Machine and human must be able to function in the same environment without problems or hazards. Safety issues in this area are often complex and require expertise. The ISO 3691-4 standard provides the basis in these issues.  

Pilz approaches working with AGV holistically. Preferably, the company steps in as early as the development of the system concept in the design phase and accompanies projects through to commissioning. This ensures safety and productivity when using automated guided vehicles.

The ISO 3691-4 standard for AGV is the basis
Standard ISO 3691-4 establishes a clear method for achieving safety of work with AGV for manufacturers and operators. In doing so, it defines an AGV as the combination of one or more AGV or autonomous mobile robots and the installation environment.
