Driverless transport system LEO – BITO Locative

The LEO driverless transport system from BITO automates the internal material flow – precisely, safely and cost-efficiently – without complex IT integration. The AGV system navigates using track guidance via optical lines and markers, which enables maximum precision with minimal maintenance effort. The autonomous transport robots move along fixed, defined paths, making transport processes transparent and safe. Should paths change, they can be quickly and independently adapted by relaying or removing the guide tapes – entirely without structural modifications or software adjustments.

The BITO LEO transport robots work independently of a central IT system and ensure a constant, traceable material flow between goods-in, the warehouse, production and dispatch. Thanks to the track-guided navigation and the clearly defined transfer points, transport processes run safely and without disruption. The AGV transport system reduces travel distances, reduces the workload for employees and increases process reliability in intralogistics.

The track-guided navigation of the LEO driverless transport system significantly lowers investment and operating costs, even when compared to free-navigating vehicles. Due to its simple handling and low maintenance requirements, the system remains economical in the long term. Fixed routes prevent collisions and increase safety for employees as well as reliability in daily operations.

The transport robots can turn on the spot by 90° or 180° – controlled by markers that specify the desired direction of rotation. This allows the vehicle to be moved precisely in narrow aisles and to enter loading or transfer stations in a space-saving manner. For short distances of up to 5 m, reversing is also possible. On straight sections of up to 25 m, LEO can travel without a track. This function reduces wear and tear on the floor markings, prevents track damage in areas with forklift traffic and saves material and effort in route planning.

LEO Locative – Standardised transport between fixed stations

The BITO LEO Locative offers simple and efficient automation of internal container and carton transport and is ideally suited as an entry into driverless intralogistics. Transfers take place via standardised transfer stations or are carried out manually by an employee. The load is transported at an ergonomic height and can therefore be easily picked up and set down.

The driverless transport system works with standardised stations at which containers are automatically picked up or dropped off as it passes through – without stopping at all. The transfer is purely mechanical, which makes the process particularly low-maintenance. Areas of application for the self-driving transport system include transport between goods-in and storage, linking picking and consolidation zones, as well as machine linking and Kanban processes.
