Driverless transport system LEO – BITO Carrier

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 line guidance via optical lines and markers, which enables maximum precision with minimal maintenance effort. The autonomous transport robots move on fixed, defined paths, ensuring transport processes run transparently and safely. Should paths change, they can be quickly and independently adapted by relaying or removing the guide tapes – completely without structural modifications or software adjustments.

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

The line-guided navigation of the LEO driverless transport system significantly lowers investment and operating costs, also in comparison 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 90° or 180° on the spot – controlled by markers that specify the desired direction of rotation. This allows the vehicle to be moved precisely in narrow aisles and it can enter loading or transfer stations in a space-saving manner. Reversing is also possible for short distances of up to 5 m. On straight sections of up to 25 m, LEO can drive without a line. This function reduces wear and tear on the floor markings, prevents damage to the line in areas with forklift traffic and saves material and effort in route layout.

LEO Carrier – Driverless transport system for order picking and replenishment

The LEO Carrier is a line-guided driverless transport system with an integrated shelving system for order picking. On four shelf levels, each measuring 655 x 495 mm, different containers or goods can be transported simultaneously. Destinations and routes can be selected directly on the vehicle via the permanently installed tablet. Thanks to the handles on the front and rear, LEO can be taken off its line and also be used as a picking trolley.

Thanks to its shelf levels, the transport robot offers sufficient space for various containers, boxes or loose goods. If the vehicle is used between two production lines, it functions as a mobile buffer store and ensures a smooth material flow without interruption.

The autonomous transport system supports employees with dispatch preparation, production supply or returns processing by being able to transport multiple orders simultaneously. After completing the mission, the transport robot automatically returns to its starting position. The combination of the shelving function and autonomous control makes material flows more efficient.
