Pull Buddy

Pull Buddy moves loads up to 2,000 pounds at 200 feet per minute (FPM). The vehicle uses magnetic tape and sophisticated open source software and controls to reliably guide the vehicle in warehouses, plants and distribution facilities. AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles) provide superior flexibility over conveyors and other equipment because their paths can be easily changed. Also, they are scalable allowing production to quickly and easily increase by simply adding additional vehicles without costly changes to infrastructure.

Pull Buddy is less than 11 inches in height, which allows it to tunnel under nearly any customized carrier. An automatic pin pops up to engage and deliver a carrier to its destination. The vehicle then lowers the pin to move onto to its next mission. The Pully Buddy can run 24/7 via an opportunity charging system, which allows the vehicle’s battery to quickly and conveniently charge several times during a shift at stations strategically set up along its path.
