In the ever-evolving world of material handling, automation solutions are at the forefront of innovation. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are included in this progress, representing a significant leap forward.

With a strong focus on continuous improvement, quality and customer satisfaction, Bolzoni Group has developed a range of cutting-edge attachments that seamlessly integrate with AGV systems, supporting the Industry 5.0 philosophy.

Innovation and Flexibility

Bolzoni Group’s latest offerings include the design and manufacture of fully electric-driven attachments. These eliminate the need for hydraulics, offering multiple benefits such as a cleaner environment, better integration with AGV control systems, and more precise, reliable, and repetitive movements. The use of sensors further enhances the efficiency and accuracy of these attachments.

The company’s commitment to innovation is evident in its co-design approach, working closely with AGV manufacturers to develop customized solutions. The collaboration ensures that each attachment meets specific requirements, integrating hydraulics, electronics, sensors, and mechanics into a cohesive, plug-and-play solution. Bolzoni Group also provides complete installation and comprehensive after-sales support, ensuring that customers receive high-quality service throughout the lifecycle of their equipment.

Success Story: A Unique Application in the UAE

One of the recent standout handling solutions has been developed in cooperation with PROXAUT, a renowned company specialized in the design and production of AGVs.

Bolzoni group has designed and customized paper roll clamps to equip PROXAUT AGVs. These AGVs are now working in a flagship production facility in the United Arab Emirates, where a fleet of autonomous guided forklifts is equipped with Auramo rotating clamps designed by BOLZONI Group.

Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across three shifts, this facility exemplifies the efficiency and reliability of BOLZONI Group’s solutions.

This specialized Auramo clamp allows the AGV to handle specific load units, including plastic and laminated film coils with an outer diameter up to 1,800 mm (70.8’’), weighing up to 2,500 kg (5,500 Lbs). The clamp not only securely grips the load but also rotates in a predetermined direction. This customized solution enables the AGV to pick up coils exiting printing and cutting machines with a horizontal core and to stack them vertically. The coil storage area consists of stacks reaching heights up to 7 meters (2.13 ft). To meet the height requirements for loading and unloading film rolls, a hybrid guidance fleet has been necessary, alternating between two guidance systems to ensure efficiency and safety throughout the facility.

For example, in the automotive industry, the electric-driven fork positioner allows AGV to precisely position forks for different pallet sizes, enhancing efficiency in manufacturing and warehousing processes.

In the tobacco industry the range offers fully electric-driven 360-degree rotating box clamps, enabling AGVs to clamp, stack, and rotate bins of tobacco efficiently. Additionally, the trilateral head for narrow aisle AGVs is used in the food and beverage industry to allow a complete 180-degree rotation, increasing operational speed and productivity.

Bolzoni electric-driven trilateral head for AGV: thanks to a 180-degree head rotation it perfectly suites material handling requirements in VNA (Very Narrow Aisle).
