AGV Battery

AGV Batteries: Powering the Future of Automation
AGV batteries (Automated Guided Vehicle batteries) are the power source behind those driverless vehicles you see moving materials around factories, warehouses, and hospitals. These batteries provide the electrical energy needed for AGVs to navigate, transport loads, and perform their tasks autonomously.  Choosing the right battery is essential for maximizing efficiency, runtime, and the overall productivity of your AGV fleet.

AutoLogix Systems, established in 2016, is an innovative manufacturer of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for warehouse and manufacturing environments. As they aimed to revolutionize material handling with more efficient, longer-running, and smarter AGVs, they faced challenges in developing a battery system that could provide extended operation time, rapid charging, and intelligent power management for their next-generation AGV fleet.
