AGVs for dough handling

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
for industrial dough handling and transportation

AGV-supported automation for dough production

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), available through our technology brands DIOSNA and VMI, are changing the way dough production is organized. Instead of relying on fixed conveyor systems, AGVs move bowls, raw materials, and dough resting containers safely and efficiently through the bakery. They provide flexible room layouts, reduce manual transport, and help bakeries adapt quickly to changing production needs.

The benefits of AGV automation:

Efficient: Operate continuously and autonomously
Flexible: Low- and high-lift options for different production needs
Innovative: Optimize space with smart room concepts
Functional: Easy integration into existing systems
Adaptive: Retrofit and expand capacity when needed
Safe: Advanced navigation and safety features

AGVs are designed to bring efficiency, flexibility, and precision to modern dough production. By replacing fixed conveyor systems, they autonomously transport bowls, raw materials, and dough resting containers throughout the bakery. With low- and high-lift models available, AGVs optimize floor space, simplify logistics, and adapt to changing production requirements, all while integrating seamlessly into existing systems.

Continuous, efficient transport
AGVs operate around the clock, navigating independently with advanced sensors and battery power. This allows precise movement of containers and ingredients without the need for rails or fixed routes. Their autonomy supports flexible production layouts and enables bakeries to adapt processes quickly and cost-effectively.

Flexible and adaptable design
Two AGV options are available to match different production needs. Low-lift AGVs transport containers at ground level, while high-lift AGVs enable vertical storage on racks for greater space efficiency. Both models integrate with fleet management systems, allowing smooth coordination across multiple production lines and easy capacity expansion.

Built for hygiene and reliability
AGV-supported concepts simplify cleaning and maintenance by allowing bowls and containers to be cleaned in dedicated areas, separate from production. This reduces downtime and avoids the use of cleaning agents near dough processing. With proven navigation, safety features, and digital twin simulations for planning, AGVs deliver a reliable, future-ready solution for automated dough production.
