Supplying parts
Brings bins or parts to a production line at planned moments.
Intralogistics
Robots for internal transport
Move bins, parts, materials and pallets between fixed points in a warehouse or factory. Compare mobile robots on load, route, integrations and the space they need to drive in.
The application at a glance
Start with the work process
Compare the tasks below with your workplace. Capabilities vary by model, setup and supervision.
- Load and handover
- Routes between zones
- Safe internal traffic
What does this robot do?
An internal transport robot takes over recurring movements between workstations, storage, production and dispatch. An AMR can choose alternative routes within a map; an AGV usually follows more fixed routes or infrastructure. The suitable system depends on the load, traffic density and the link with the existing process.
Schematic: each drawing shows a type of robot, not a specific model.
What is this solution used for?
Transport between zones
Moves material between receiving, storage, workstations and dispatch.
Pallet flows
Supports repeated pallet movements when floor, charging points and handover fit.
Returns and empty carriers
Takes empty bins or return flows back without extra walking routes for staff.
When does automation become interesting?
Use these signals as a starting point for research, not as a guarantee of a result.
- Many daily trips over the same routes
- Employees spend noticeably much time on transport
- Load and handover can be standardised enough
- Peak load calls for more plannable material flows
Which approach fits the task?
AMR
Navigates with sensors and a map. Route changes are often more flexible, but free passage and traffic rules are still needed.
AGV
Drives along predefined routes or infrastructure. This can suit stable, repeatable flows well.

Suppliers for this application
These suppliers are linked to the robot models shown. Check delivery area, integration and service directly with the supplier.
What does implementation require?
The robot choice follows from the workplace and the process. Discuss these points before comparing models.
- 01
Measure passages, crossings and available floor width.
- 02
Check load, handover moments and charging points.
- 03
Decide whether doors, lifts and a WMS or MES need to be connected.
- 04
Define how employees and other internal traffic move together safely.
Questions about intralogistics
What is an internal transport robot?
A mobile robot that moves goods or materials between points within a building or site.
What is the difference between an AMR and an AGV?
An AMR can generally navigate around obstacles more dynamically. An AGV usually drives along predefined routes or infrastructure. The exact capabilities differ per system.
Can transport robots drive among employees?
That is possible with suitable systems and a well-organised environment. A risk assessment, traffic rules and safe handover remain necessary.
Can a transport robot be linked to a WMS?
Some systems support this. Check the available interface and integration per model and supplier.
Which goods can a transport robot carry?
That depends on the model and its build: from small bins to heavy pallets. Use the confirmed load capacities per robot.
