DESCRIPTION
Mobile Automation Group (MAG) members are the Industry’s leading suppliers of automatic guided vehicle systems. They supply systems worldwide and in virtually every major manufacturing and distribution sector. Mission: To promote the market awareness, growth, and effective use of driverless industrial vehicle systems (e.g. AGVS, AMRs, and AGCs) Vision: To be the trusted, independent authority on driverless industrial vehicle systems The MAG group is a collaboration of trusted industry leaders that provide: Market Intelligence Market Awareness and Clarity Leadership Safety Advocacy Market Access By Coordinating Statistical Programs Delivering Promotional Marketing Providing Education Influencing Industry Standards Overcoming Barriers to Adoption Both Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are computer-controlled wheel-based load carriers (normally battery powered) that run on a plant or warehouse floor (or, if outdoors, on a paved surface). The main difference between AGVs and AMRs is how the path they follow is determined. Most AGVs follow predefined paths, although there may be areas of the plant or warehouse where they have more freedom. AMRs can determine their own path, although they will attempt to follow suggested paths if they exist. This difference leads to differing methodologies for ensuring safe operation for the two types of vehicle. AGVs follow the ANSI B56.5 Safety Guidelines There is a standard under development for AMRs MAG member companies meet regularly to review, discuss and revise the standards for design, performance and safe operation of automatic guided vehicle systems. MAG members are committed to the development, maintenance and publishing of industry standard specifications for these systems. MAG programs include: The development of educational and training materials; A voice in the development and maintenance of national standards; The confidential exchange of market statistics and publication of industry data to the public; The communication of the benefits of AGVS solutions via trade shows, educational forums, and other national and regional seminars.
Since 1982, Transbotics has installed & supported Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) & Carts (AGC) globally including custom material handling solutions for production & warehousing. Industries included, but not limited to Aerospace, Automotive, Food & Beverage, & Primary Metals.

TRADE SHOWS
Transbotics engineers designed a Laser-Guided Tugger vehicle to move cart-trains weighing up to 65,000 pounds of palletized glass for a major client in the North American food and beverage industry. These automated guided vehicles (AGVs) carefully move and stop while fully loaded with palletized glass, preventing tower pallets from toppling over. They are programmed to work side by side with automatic train loading machinery and conveyor systems. Transbotics technicians integrated the AGV system seamlessly into the existing automated process.
Transbotics was hired to design, build, fabricate and install an AGV system at a customer facility in California. A system capable of moving inspected CHEP and fiber pallets at the customer’s Material Sequencing Center. With the new AGV System operating at 87.7% utilization, it is able to keep up with 100% of the customer’s total throughput, with just 15% of time allocated to recharging the vehicle when the battery is low.
When a major manufacturer of Building Materials located in Michigan wanted to automate their methodology for moving wallboard in and out of a curing room, they chose Transbotics for their expertise in AGV system solutions. The client wanted to transport robotically palletized cement boards using an AGV to increase safety and maximize production throughput. Given the building and layout constraints the best vehicle to suit the needs of this client, was a dual navigation vehicle utilizing both inertial and laser guidance. The complete solution significantly decreased labor costs while accommodating increased production from upgraded production lines.
