About Danfoss

Danfoss Drives is a global leader in AC/DC and DC/DC power conversion, as well as variable speed control for electric motors. With the world’s largest portfolio of power converters, VLT® drives, and VACON® the facilities are spread out globally.

The challenge

Danfoss Drives uses a buffer area for incoming goods that arrive in various shipments throughout the day. The trucks are manually unloaded by forklifts that fill the buffer lanes.

  • Occupancy status of the buffer lanes needs to be monitored
  • AGVs need to be able to drive into the correct buffer lane and operate in a narrow environment
  • AGVs need to safely interact with smaller line-guided AGVs, human workers and manually driven forklifts

The solution

Implementation of four A-MATE® FreeLift to automate the pallet transport from the buffer area to the assembly cells.

Products used

The A-MATE® FreeLift is an intelligent, fully electric AGV designed for autonomous pallet transport in dynamic production environments. Equipped with pallet detection, advanced safety features, and free-lift functionality, it handles load carriers with high precision—completely hands-free. Ideal for facilities looking to automate inbound flow and optimise delivery to assembly cells, it ensures safe, efficient material movement while seamlessly coexisting with manual operations and other AGVs.
