The new trend in e-grocery, driven by a deep digital transformation in all logistic processes, has the goal of bringing new solutions to answer the new trend in the market. E-grocery has significantly increased in the past year, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, and the forecast for next years is an even more rapid growth, especially in US market (source mckinsey.com).

Fully electric driven fork positioner for AGV, operated by electric actuators, to position forks to handle different pallet sizes.

Fully connected with the AGV control system The latest technology development in Bolzoni has been to design and manufacture fully electric driven attachments. The possibility to avoid any hydraulic has multiple benefits: cleaner environment for food and beverage applications, better and more efficient connection with the AGV control system, more precise, reliable and repetitive movement and correct positioning of the different attachment operations. When the AGV needs to position the forks for different pallet sizes, it can use an electric driven fork positioner, operated by electric actuators, easy to control and more precise in positioning.
