Effective workflow management 4.0

In the smart factory, productivity isn’t only about making individual processes faster. It’s about ensuring that materials, products and processes flow seamlessly from one step to the next.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) play a key role in making that happen. They connect production and logistics processes, automate material movement and free employees to focus on higher-value tasks. But efficient automation depends on one critical capability: safe, precise navigation.

That’s where the ASC IMU 7 comes in. Combining three accelerometers and three gyroscopes, the compact inertial measurement unit captures acceleration and angular rates across six degrees of freedom. Its modular design allows measurement ranges to be tailored to specific applications.

In AGVs, this precise motion data can support optimized driving performance, route planning and energy-efficient operation – helping manufacturers create smarter, better-coordinated workflows while unlocking productivity gains and cost savings.
