AGV platforms that automate internal load transport across industrial, airport and logistics facilities — integrating into existing floor layouts and engineered to operate safely alongside personnel.
High-cadence internal transport in industrial and logistics facilities ties up personnel on repetitive, low-skill tasks and introduces variability in throughput, traceability, and safety. Manual transport also creates floor traffic conflicts between personnel and heavy loads — a persistent operational risk in airport apron support, manufacturing assembly lines, and distribution warehouses.
The TBO AGV range covers the full spectrum of internal transport needs — from 700 kg platform carriers through to 25,000 kg tow tractors — under a consistent control architecture: Siemens S7-1200 PLC, PID with dual processor and triple supervision, WiFi/GPRS communications. Guidance uses magnetic or optical tape applied directly to the floor surface, allowing circuit modification without structural works or extended downtime.
Circuit installation uses magnetic or optical adhesive tape applied directly to the floor. No civil works, no dedicated lanes, no structural modifications required. Circuit layout can be modified or extended rapidly when operational needs change, without production stoppages.
AGV platforms operate 24/7 without operator intervention, executing pre-programmed routes across shift changes. Load capacity, route, speed, and action triggers are defined in advance — eliminating throughput variability from manual transport cycles.
Each unit integrates SICK laser obstacle scanning, emergency stop pushbuttons, and audio-visual presence alerts. Platforms share floor space with personnel without dedicated exclusion zones, reducing facility modification requirements.
All units communicate via WiFi/GPRS with a centralized management system for configuration, monitoring, and route management. RFID tags embedded in the floor circuit define action points, enabling full load movement traceability across the facility.
From 700 kg platform carriers to 25,000 kg tow tractors, all TBO AGV families share a consistent control architecture — Siemens S7-1200 PLC, PID dual-processor control, WiFi/GPRS communications, and SICK laser safety systems.

Airport ground support involves continuous movement of heavy loads across facilities where personnel and vehicle traffic overlap. TBO tow tractors (CM family, up to 25,000 kg) automate apron-side and terminal-side towing operations. Platform carriers handle internal baggage and cargo sorting in handling areas. Magnetic tape guidance allows rapid circuit reconfiguration for seasonal layout changes or terminal expansions.
