K.Hartwall is launching a brand-new autonomous mobile robot (AMR) called A-MATE. This is the first fully electric free-lift pallet AGV with omnidirectional drive on the market. A-MATE is an extremely versatile mobile robot that will bring a new level of automation to intralogistics.

Check out in our latest video all the great features of the AGILO AGV: its omnidrive to move quickly and easily even in confined spaces and its gripping table which can load and unload from both sides. The AGILO drives to the conveyor belt, grabs various load carriers and delivers them to the robot line.
