SAFETY DEVICES
Automated Guided Vehicles
 Warning lights, arrival signals indicate an approaching AGV
 Sound output like: “attention automatic transport”
or “please go a side”
driving direction
safety zone
warning zone
 Safety devices above the requirements of EN1525
Page 7 / 20 May 2009 / Investor Day
 Vehicles stop when
detecting an obstacle in
the safety zone
 Safety and warning
zone are adjustable
(e.g. in curves)
 In our worldwide
references we use
corridors and lifts
together with the public
without any problems.
