Transport
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Flexible Material Transport for Smart Warehouses
Labor costs and throughput demands are rising in every warehouse and sorting hub. AGVs give your operation the flexibility to scale transport capacity on demand — moving goods between receiving, sorting, storage, and shipping zones without adding headcount.
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are driverless transport robots that carry pallets, totes, and parcels along defined routes in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. Guided by laser, QR-code, or SLAM navigation, they handle repetitive material movement with consistent precision, around the clock.
Every YJ-INTL AGV solution is orchestrated by our self-developed WCS platform — the same system running 1,000+ sorting projects nationwide. That means your fleet integrates natively with sorters, conveyors, and your existing WMS or ERP, whether you are retrofitting a running facility or building a new one from the ground up.

Typical Applications and Uses of AGVs
Automated Order Fulfillment Material Movement
In high-volume e-commerce warehouses, AGVs automate the transportation of goods between storage areas, picking stations, packing zones, and sorting systems.
Automated Production Line Feeding
They automatically transport raw materials, components, and finished products between warehouses and production lines, reducing production interruptions caused by manual handling.
Pallet Transportation
Heavy-duty AGVs are designed for pallet movement in logistics centers and warehouses. Integrated with pallet conveyors, racks, and warehouse management systems, AGVs provide reliable transportation for inbound, storage, and outbound operations.

Quanzhou YTO Express Hub: Automated Narrow Belt Sorter Achieving 10,000 PPH Capacity
10,000 PPH99.99%50 kg4–5 Operators
To handle heavy seasonal parcel volume surges in coastal e-commerce centers, Quanzhou YTO Express Hub upgraded its sorting infrastructure with YJ-INTL's narrow belt sorter. Featuring unaligned blind infeed, multi-car linkage for bulky cargo, and precision side-discharge chutes, the line handles up to 10,000 parcels per hour with a 99.99% scan accuracy while requiring only 4-5 operators on site.
"In coastal manufacturing hubs like Quanzhou, parcel profiles range from tiny polybags to heavy footwear cartons. The YJ-INTL narrow belt sorter transformed our operations—allowing operators to drop mixed cargo onto the belt without manual pre-sorting. The multi-car linkage carries oversized bags effortlessly, and our labor footprint dropped from 12 workers to just 4 per shift."

FAQ
An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is an autonomous mobile robot designed to transport materials automatically without manual operation. AGVs use navigation technologies such as laser SLAM, magnetic guidance, or QR positioning to move goods safely inside warehouses and factories.
An AGV system consists of:
- Mobile robots
- Navigation system
- Fleet management software
- Charging system
- Warehouse control system
The WMS sends transportation tasks, and AGVs execute optimized routes automatically.
AGVs usually follow predefined routes using navigation systems, while AMRs use more advanced autonomous navigation and real-time path planning. YJ-INTLprovides both customized AGV and AMR solutions depending on warehouse requirements.
Yes. YJ-INTL AGV systems support API integration with existing warehouse management systems, allowing centralized control and real-time monitoring.

Complete Guide to Automated Guided Vehicles
AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are unmanned material handling equipment used in industrial logistics. Unlike traditional forklifts and manual carts, AGVs automatically transport materials according to programmed instructions.
How AGVs Improve Warehouse Efficiency
1. Reduce Labor Dependency
AGVs replace repetitive transportation tasks and allow workers to focus on higher-value operations.
2. Improve Safety
Built-in sensors and intelligent navigation reduce collision risks.
3. Increase Flexibility
AGV routes can be modified through software without changing warehouse infrastructure.
4. Enable Smart Factory Transformation
Combined with WMS, WCS, and IoT systems, AGVs become an important part of intelligent manufacturing.
How AGV Works in Smart Warehouse Systems
Typical workflow: WMS → WCS → AGV Fleet Management → AGV Robot → Material Transportation
AGVs communicate with warehouse software platforms to receive tasks, select optimal routes, avoid obstacles, and complete transportation automatically.
