Mobile robotics in practice
Audi is using mobile industrial robots equipped with superstructures from item in ist A8 production operations. Take a look behind the scenes of this success story.
Mobile robotics – plug-and-play solutions
Straightforward solutions for mobile industrial robots – immediate availability and guaranteed compatibility. Turnkey and freely configurable options.
The ideal additions for your automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots in just two steps
Thanks to item, you can kit out your mobile robots in no time at all. Simply select the appropriate Base Cart and the relevant Top Module for the process to be automated. Alternatively, you can design your very own solution – with all the options of the item Building Kit System at your disposal.
Base Carts for standard AGVs and AMRs
Finding AGV and AMR accessories is quick and easy. Start by selecting a compatible Base Cart for your mobile industrial robot. These base frames are available for models from various manufacturers. Practical filter options in the Online Shop will guide you to the right variant.
If your mobile robot isn’t amongst the options, feel free to contact our experts. Alternatively, you can design your own Base Cart or complete superstructure.
Top Modules for countless processes
The Top Module completes your mobile robot. It is placed on the Base Cart and linked to it via a standardised interface. Alternatively, you can connect the Top Module directly to the mobile robot. Whether they are being used for assembly, order picking or transporting cardboard boxes, our preconfigured Top Modules are just as varied as the corresponding production and intralogistics processes.
Opt for ready-to-use templates, customise these in the free item Engineeringtool or design your very own solutions.
Base Carts and Top Modules
Implement customised AGV solutions quickly and flexibly: Our ready-to-use Base Carts provide the foundation for integrating mobile robots. The compatible Top Modules can be designed individually or used directly as proven sample solutions.
Components and sample solutions
Discover all the technical details about item add-ons for AGVs and AMRs. You will find components, Base Carts and sample solutions for Top Modules in our Online Shop.
Sample solutions for the Top Modules of driverless transport vehicles
Combine the Top Module of your choice with the Base Cart for your mobile robot or screw the Top Module directly onto the vehicle. Alternatively, you can use the templates as inspiration for your own Top Modules and edit them yourself.
Transport frame for Euro pallets and mesh boxes
This Top Module is ideal for transporting Euro pallets, mesh boxes and self-supporting racks. Stacking guides at the corners ensure the goods being transported are held securely in place on the stable support frame.
Transport rack
This transport rack takes cardboard boxes and small load carriers (SLCs) to the picking point in containers of different sizes on three storage levels. The goods being transported are kept securely in place by the rails surrounding the shelves.
Picking rack
This rack accommodates 18 standard SLCs measuring 600 x 400 mm. The inclined shelves support the ergonomic storage and removal of materials and transport boxes.
Shelf with roller conveyors
Roller conveyors on two levels make this Top Module perfect for supplying materials efficiently. Four SLCs, each measuring 600 x 400 mm, can be transported on each level.
Lean production supply rack
This lightweight supply rack is based on the Lean Production Building Kit System and can be used to transport all kinds of goods. It can be adapted to the relevant SLC size, or for hanging goods or the supply of small parts.

“Our concept for mobile robotics combines two key aspects – reliability through standardisation and flexibility through customisation. The Base Carts are perfectly coordinated with manufacturers’ models, while the Top Modules can be adapted ideally to all kinds of processes.”
– Hannes Fröhlich, Team Leader Product Management Dynamics
