A lifting AGV for loads presented on compatible carriers.

Record the carrier footprint, underside, leg positions, ground clearance and lifting contact surfaces. The robot needs a defined way to enter beneath the carrier, align with the lift interface and support the load without contacting another part of the structure.

Describe the complete transported unit: carrier mass, material mass, loaded height, centre of gravity and any overhang. Include the way the material is retained on the carrier and the conditions in which it can shift. Load suitability follows the selected model and interface, not only a headline payload.

A pallet resting on a designed carrier is different from a bare pallet on the floor. Confirm the supporting structure and pickup method rather than assuming that any pallet can be collected by an under-load vehicle.

A useful station definition includes the carrier's allowed location and orientation, the available approach and withdrawal space, and the lift and set-down conditions. Record what changes between a full and an empty carrier.

Agree how the system identifies the load and confirms that the support is ready to move. At delivery, define how the destination becomes available and how a successful set-down is confirmed before the robot withdraws or receives another task.

Include a missing or misplaced carrier, an occupied destination and an interrupted lift in the application review. The operator and controller need a clear way to return the physical load and its task record to a known state.

Define the task and receiving confirmations

Measure the full loaded footprint when checking aisles, turns, doorways and intersections. A low robot body can still transport a wide or tall load, and the carrier may extend beyond the vehicle.

Review the floor, transitions, slopes and shared traffic along the route. Include temporary storage, people working at stations and the access required for charging and service. Navigation and operating conditions are confirmed for the selected KRONA configuration.

Use the recurring task cycle to estimate capacity: approach, enter, align, lift, travel, set down, leave and return. Waiting at a station, charging and the available quantity of carriers can limit the completed flow even when travel time is short.

Connect the vehicle to a warehouse AGV system

A low-lift under-load robot transports its compatible supported load between defined positions. Mast forklifts engage a pallet or other approved load through forks and may provide a different range of lifting and placement geometry.

If the application requires rack access, a particular stacking height or collection of a floor pallet, describe that task directly. Low-lift carrier transport does not establish those capabilities. If the load is already on a repeatable stand and moves between workstations, assess the under-load arrangement alongside the alternative handling methods.

Compare the completed job, including carriers, station hardware, charging, controls, commissioning and support. KRONA's proposal identifies the vehicle model, supported interface, load conditions and application acceptance test.
