Scott Technology has introduced NexBot, a next-generation automated guided vehicle (AGV) with a modular architecture that allows businesses to configure key features—including counterbalance fork, outrigger/straddle fork, under-rigger lift deck, conveyor deck, and tugger modules—to suit their specific material handling needs.
Whether navigating narrow aisles, high-lift environments, or specialized transport tasks, NexBot integrates with automation and enterprise systems, including Scott’s Maestro+ platform, to optimize workflows and enhance efficiency. NexBot’s modular design allows businesses to tailor AGVs with configurable back-end modules to meet specific material handling needs.
NexBot leverages Navitec’s precision navigation software for reliable path tracking, using an environmental map of natural features and reflectors. LiDAR-based positioning ensures accuracy, while area scanners ensure safety. A fleet coordination system prioritizes traffic and prevents bottlenecks for multi-AGV operation.
