BAMA is a Spanish company committed to the development and innovation of AGVs in Spain for special logistics applications, although it also offers standard AGVs in Spain for more widespread use. As one of the leading AGV manufacturers in Spain, BAMA focuses on providing advanced and customized solutions for material transport automation.

AGV Robots

AGVs in Spain (Automated Guided Vehicles) are automated guided vehicles that perform material transport functions within distribution companies, industries, or logistics plants.

An AGV is essentially a robot that performs internal logistics functions automatically and autonomously between various points, following a more or less defined route.

The way this route is established determines the different types of AGVs.

In all cases, this vehicle implements safety systems to ensure the integrity of the personnel working alongside it in shared aisles.

AGV Guidance Types

Based on the guidance system, AGVs are classified as:

Wire-Guided AGVs

A wire-guided AGV follows its route via an element located under the floor, either by connecting to that element through a slot in the floor or through magnetic detection.

This type of AGV requires prior installation, and its transport routes are limited to the areas where the guidance element is located.

Optically Guided AGVs

An optically guided AGV features an optical sensor that guides it through different elements defining its route. These elements can range from a line painted on the floor to a laser.

Optically guided AGVs offer greater flexibility when altering the route compared to wire-guided ones.

Mapped AGVs

These AGVs have a map of the entire facility and, with the help of onboard sensors, identify the different areas they pass through while performing their transport tasks.

Altering routes and functions is limited to making changes to the AGV’s parameters.

Types of AGV Vehicles

At BAMA, we offer three categories of AGV vehicles capable of meeting your company’s internal logistics needs.

Depending on the infrastructure, load type, routes, and the requirements of each business, we offer three different types of AGV:

AMR AGV

AMRs are intelligent vehicles that move freely without the need to install elements in the pavement. Based on SLAM technology, they can build a map of the plant to facilitate their positioning at all times, ensuring personnel safety.

Mouse AGV

Mouse AGV vehicles travel along a circuit formed by a magnetic guide buried in the pavement. Additionally, TAGs are installed at strategic locations to provide them with upcoming instructions. When an AGV passes a TAG, it informs the vehicle what to do (where to go, whether to pick up or deliver a load, etc.).

Special AGVs

At BAMA, we have been developing custom AGV systems for decades, which are almost always high-capacity AGVs. We use various navigation technologies depending on the needs and environment of each client, always adhering to the strictest safety requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about AGVs at BAMA

What is an AGV and what is it used for?
An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is an automated guided vehicle designed to transport materials autonomously within industrial or logistics facilities between several defined points.

What types of AGV guidance does BAMA handle?
BAMA works with different types of guidance: – **Wire-guided**: travels via a guide (slot or magnet) under the floor. – **Optically guided**: uses optical sensors that detect painted lines or signals. – **Mapped AGV**: the robot maps the environment and navigates freely using sensors.

What categories of AGV does BAMA offer?
The main categories offered by BAMA are: – **AMR AGV**: moves freely without physical guides, using SLAM technology. – **Mouse AGV**: follows buried magnetic circuits and uses tags for instructions. – **Special AGVs**: custom-designed with high capacity, adapted to the environment and specific client requirements.

How does BAMA ensure the safety of its AGVs?
All AGVs include safety systems to protect personnel working in shared areas. These systems may include proximity sensors, automatic braking, and obstacle detection, ensuring the integrity of the work environment.

How are AGVs integrated with existing logistics systems?
BAMA adapts its AGV solutions according to the already installed infrastructure, integrating the vehicle with the logistics system, routes, control software, and warehouse processes. Thus, the AGV does not operate in isolation but as part of the global flow.

When is it advisable to choose special AGVs over standard models?
When load, dimension, environment, or route requirements cannot be met by standard models, a custom special AGV is recommended. BAMA designs these vehicles for clients with complex or very specific needs.

Why choose BAMA as an AGV provider in Spain?
Because BAMA is one of the leading AGV manufacturers in Spain, with the ability to innovate and customize logistics automation solutions adapted to each client. Its experience, knowledge, and tailored approach make it a reliable partner.
