Frequently Asked Questions in the Manufacturing Industry

AGVs excel in repetitive, predictable flows like pallet transport, and staging to docks, while human workforce is better suited for more creative and added-value tasks.

While our AGVs also excel at clear handoff points such as conveyors, pick/put stations, when introducing automation for the first time you can start with high-volume, stable routes for the fastest ROI and leave the rest to human operators.

The number of vehicles needed required is determined by the transport frequencies, travel distances, and overall material‑flow demands in your process. Every facility is different, which is why fleet sizing is always project‑specific.

At Logisnext, we analyse your transport matrix, peak‑time workloads, and layout constraints to define the optimal fleet type and size, ensuring high availability, balanced utilisation, and the best return on investment. This is a core part of our expertise, and we develop the right solution together with you.

Yes. Rocla AGVs comply with ISO 3691-4 safety standards and use advanced sensors for obstacle detection. Together with additional options, such as the Proximity Detection System (PDS), they ensure safe and reliable operations in shared environments.

Additionally, we can also help design safe traffic zones and SOPs for the operators. In a mixed‑fleet environment, where AGVs and manual forklifts operate together, fluent traffic relies on both resources following the correct operating practices. When each vehicle behaves as expected, the system can function in seamless, reliable collaboration.

Absolutely. Our solutions are modular and scalable, so you can begin with a pilot and expand across sites or as your needs evolve without major rework.

Automation often starts with the most repetitive and predictable tasks, such as transporting goods from one location to another, picking up or dropping off at conveyors, or handling high-lift racking. These are ideal starting points because they follow consistent patterns and can be easily optimised.

Other applications are also possible and can be considered also from the start or at later stages.

Fleet size depends on throughput, travel distances, and cycle times. We calculate this during the site survey and simulation phase to ensure your KPIs are met. Automation should support your processes and not the other way round.

By providing us with some simple materials our experts can determine how many AGVs your operations would require in order to automate your processes and how they would navigate through your facility. Get in touch to request a simulation.

Not all processes can and should be automated and we recommend the optimal automation approach, which combines human flexibility and intelligence with AGV controllability and reliability.

Our experts can analyse your processes and design a solution tailored to your needs.

Moreover, Rocla AGVs can be introduced step by step. By doing so, the new system can be integrated without upheaval, and teams can adapt and learn as they go.

AGVs automatically reroute or stop safely. If manual intervention is needed, alerts are sent to operators for quick resolution. The PalletFinder functionality in Rocla AGVs can detect if a pallet is in the wrong location or if a location is occupied. If needed, Rack IPL can then correct the vehicle position to handle the misaligned pallet.

FleetController software counts on Route Optimizer and Order Optimizer to avoid congestions and find the best-suited route.

The user‑friendly FleetController Dashboard provides both history and real‑time visibility into system status, vehicle activity, task progress, and workload levels. It also enables operators to interact directly with the system by easily defining and restricting specific areas within the facility, assigning them to either manual forklift operators or AGVs.

This level of flexibility allows teams to quickly respond to peak demand, temporarily scale automation up or down, or distribute tasks more effectively between human drivers and automated vehicles. The result is greater transparency and traceability across the entire workflow, supporting safer operations, better‑informed decision‑making, and more efficient overall fleet management.

Yes, we offer a wide range of AGV Solutions that are designed to fit into your existing environment with minimal modification and without production stops. This includes warehouses where space is at a premium.

For everyday warehouse operations, our Automated Compact Truck (ACT) and Automated Reach Truck (ART) are excellent choices. The Rocla ACT offers a lifting height of up to 6 m and can operate efficiently in aisles as narrow as 2.6 m.

The ART, on the other hand, delivers the same performance as a conventional reach truck, reaching heights of up to 10 m while operating in aisles as narrow as 2.85 m.

For VNA operations, our offering also includes two models of Very Narrow Aisle Automated Warehouse Trucks (VNA AWT).
