AGV – Automated Guided Vehicle

Overview

Voyager

The VOYAGER AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) system marks a significant advancement in Tecniplast’s portfolio of automation solutions, designed to enhance both the quality of the working environment and operational efficiency in vivarium cage wash areas.

Capable of autonomously managing logistics carts, Voyager interfaces directly with robotic cells and rack washers featuring automatic doors, enabling a fully optimized and continuous workflow.

Voyager integrates with Tecniplast’s full range of robotic systems, ensuring synchronized operation across AGVs, washing equipment, both rack or tunnel washers, and historical robotic technologies either for integral cage setups or cage bases only.
