Customer testimonials
I was particularly impressed by the detailed documentation of their maintenance intervention with repair. Every step was carefully recorded, which not only created transparency, but also enabled us to better understand the process and build on it in the future.
AGV Maintenance
With the AGV basic check, the on-site inspection, the determination of all relevant conditions as well as analysis and the transport matrix were created. Advice on technical and economic feasibility was particularly important for us, as the ROI is not given in this area of Groz-Beckert's work.
AGV Basic Check
The service technicians who were made available to us in the current project were a fantastic fit, both in terms of their qualifications and on a personal level, very motivated and equipped with the necessary skills to provide our team with the best possible support. I would particularly like to emphasize that the structures and organization at ProLog Automation were able to send the service technicians to Switzerland at any time.
AGV Maintenance
The AGV training enabled us to exchange technical information, discuss open questions on the implementation of AGVs, occupational safety and legal regulations and the AGV experts Volker Single and Holger Scholz were able to develop practical solutions together with the LISTA team.
AGV Trainings
ProLog Automation has been supporting us in servicing and commissioning our automated guided vehicle systems for more than 5 years. We can always rely on ProLog's very reliable and highly trained team, with whose support we have recently successfully realized projects in Germany, Turkey, Egypt and the Netherlands.
AGV Commissioning
The topic of AGVs was new to us and we had no experience. With the AGV basic check, we were able to familiarize ourselves in detail with all the topics for an automated guided vehicle system in order to select the right manufacturer for us. Some of the highlights were the technical expertise and punctuality of the employees deployed on site. We were particularly satisfied with the reliability and clear communication during the entire course of the project.
AGV Basic Check
The practice-oriented and effective planning and advice has fully convinced us, although the desired product does not yet exist, we have a detailed and comprehensive overview with the feasibility study. I was particularly impressed by the expertise of the staff on site. We would like to emphasize the very good communication and punctuality. The schedule was always adhered to. Our idea of the service was fully realized. The next steps will follow with ProLog Automation.
AGV Basic Check
Thanks to the procedure with the FTS basic check, we have dealt with all the important questions! We were not previously aware of the extent of the criteria, such as what we need to consider in the event of a fire! The presentation of the advantages and disadvantages of the various systems was also particularly important.

FAQ
Here we answer your questions
The costs include investments in vehicles, software and infrastructure as well as ongoing operating costs for maintenance, repairs and energy. There are also indirect costs such as process adjustments. An AGV usually pays for itself quickly thanks to lower personnel costs, higher availability and optimized processes.
Please also read our white paper “ROI in mobile robotics”.
An AGV is particularly worthwhile for companies with regularly recurring transports and the desire for more process reliability. From a certain transport volume, continuous shift work or when personnel resources are scarce, automation offers significant advantages.
Automated guided vehicles are subject to European and national safety standards. ProLog Automation ensures that all legal requirements are met.
In most cases, it is not necessary to hire new staff. The existing personnel are prepared for the operation and safe handling of the AGV through targeted training. ProLog Automation offers training courses tailored to your needs.
ProLog Automation supports customers from the initial automation idea through to regular maintenance. With feasibility studies, simulations and structured project management, we identify potential risks at an early stage and develop suitable solutions. This minimizes time and cost risks.
The duration depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Smaller projects can be implemented in just a few months, while large and networked systems can take up to over a year. Modular concepts allow pilot projects to be started more quickly and expanded flexibly at a later date.
VDA 5050 is an open interface standard that enables the use of AGVs from different manufacturers in a common control system. VDA 5050 is useful for companies that want to use several vehicle types from different manufacturers in the long term. ProLog Automation supports the implementation and integration.
The master control system coordinates routes, orders and priorities. Interfaces to IT (ERP/MES/WMS), flexible scalability and compliance with standards are important. ProLog Automation relies on transparent and future-proof systems.
Some adjustments may be necessary, e.g. for network coverage (WLAN/5G), server capacities or interfaces to existing IT systems. In many cases, minor extensions are sufficient. ProLog Automation checks the existing infrastructure and ensures smooth integration.
