Safety First, Every Step of the Way
AGV Safety: Built-In Protection for Smarter Operations
At America In Motion, safety isn't an add-on—it's engineered into every AGV we build. Whether you're exploring automation for the first time or expanding an existing fleet, our systems are designed to protect your people, your facility, and your peace of mind.
Intelligent Safety Scanners
Our AGVs are equipped with multi-zone safety scanners that monitor the environment in real time. Each scanner—front, rear, and lateral—is certified for override banks and field sets that define safe operating speeds and zones.
-
Front & Rear Override Banks: Verified for safe operation across layout segments
-
Max Speed Controls: Tuned to scanner zones to prevent unsafe acceleration
-
Hazard Marking: Physical hazards are clearly identified and mapped into the layout
How AGVs Respond to Obstacles
Our AGVs use safety-rated laser scanners to continuously monitor their surroundings. When an object enters the warning field, the AGV automatically slows down. If the object moves into the protective field, the AGV stops completely—preventing contact. The safety scanners' fields automatically adjust in size based on the AGV’s speed, ensuring safe operation in real time.
​
Once the path is clear, the AGV resumes movement after a brief pause. If the obstruction remains, it stays safely stopped. This system helps protect both people and equipment from accidental collisions.
