Scott Technology introduced NexBot, a next-generation automated guided vehicle (AGV) designed to enable faster automation deployment without lengthy lead times or high costs.
"As labor shortages persist and costs rise, businesses must adopt automation to stay competitive in an evolving logistics and warehousing landscape,” says Mike Christman, CEO of Scott Technology. "Traditional mobile equipment creates safety risks and downtime, while manual processes slow supply chains and drive-up costs. NexBot solves these challenges with a modular, scalable design that enables faster deployment, minimizes bottlenecks, and optimizes operating costs—all while running 24/7. As businesses navigate workforce challenges and increasing automation demands, NexBot offers a flexible, future-ready solution to keep operations running smoothly."
Key takeaways:
- Designed for warehousing, manufacturing, logistics, and e-commerce, NexBot’s modular architecture allows businesses to configure key features such as counterbalance fork, outrigger/straddle fork, under-rigger lift deck, conveyor deck, and tugger modules—to suit their specific material handling needs.
- Whether navigating narrow aisles, high-lift environments, or specialized transport tasks, NexBot seamlessly integrates with automation and enterprise systems, including Scott’s proprietary Maestro+ platform, to optimize workflows and enhance efficiency.
- Other features include advanced navigation and traffic management, seamless integration, 24/7 system performance, safety-driven automation, sustainable efficiency and more.
