Dematic automated guided vehicles (AGVs)

Dematic has launched a range of freezer-rated automated guided vehicles (AGVs), with a third-generation model featuring advancements in sensor and navigation technology. Designed and built in Australia, Dematic’s full range of AGVs — including high-reach and counterbalance — are now all rated for deployment in freezer environments.

AGVs operating in Australia are covered under the recently updated Australian Standard - AS 5144-4 (equivalent to international standard - ISO 3691-4). This standard specifies clear procedures for achieving safety for both manufacturers and operators.

Dematic third-generation freezer-rated AGVs include a range of safety features, such as a 360° safety scanning system with automatic slowing and stopping; accessible emergency stop buttons; visual and audible warning and alarm lights; and a compliant system.
