A robotic forklift or self-guided truck (SGT) knows where it is and moves along virtual routes. It can distinguish structural (walls, racking & columns) from non-structural elements (forklifts). Programmed to follow a route, the robot’s sensors ensure pallet(s) are present before moving. The AGV’s (automatic guided vehicles) can automatically go to a charging area if the battery is low and pallet jacks can be equipped with a mounted barcode scanner.
