Automation & Remote Control Options

Remote Control

Utilising Remote Control options offers a range of benefits.

Remote Control capability is available via two options.

Basic: straight line, forwards and backwards movement

Full: multi-directional capability.

When utilising Remote Control, operators can take up the ideal vantage point when moving a load, controlling speed and direction of travel through simple controls. The tug or tow will come to a stop if the controls are disengaged, or the emergency stop button (on the control unit or the machine) is engaged.

Line Follow

This technology ensures an electric tug follows a line on the floor, delivering highly accurate repeated movement between points. This is especially useful when moving loads through tight spaces, or when accurate movement is required.

Line Following capability is available via two options.

Remote Control: the operator controls the speed of the machine, but the direction dictated by the dedicated line on the floor.

AGV: movement is automated with the AGV following the line on the floor. Scanners monitor for hazards and risks, bringing the tug or tow to a stop if the need arises. The AGV can read barcodes or other prompts, to stop under certain circumstances, or slow down or speed up in different locations.
