Seven systems. One vehicle.

Omnidirectional driving system uses INOGEC’s patented omniwheel track technology. Each wheel module is independently steered and driven, allowing the vehicle to translate in any direction without rotating the chassis.

Depending on configuration and layout, this architecture can reduce aisle width by up to 40%, dock without a turnaround maneuver, and move large or eccentric loads through restricted openings.

• Patents · CA3117719C · US11919583B2 · EP3870501B1
• Motion · 360° lateral, diagonal and in-place rotation
• Wheel modules · Independently steered and driven
• Aisle reduction · Up to 40% depending on configuration
• Resolution · Millimetre-range positioning depending on application and configuration

Inogec integrates BlueBotics ANT® natural navigation as its standard autonomy stack. The architecture is used on vehicles ranging from compact AMRs to heavy-payload AGVs rated up to 30 tonnes depending on configuration.

Natural navigation reads the plant’s existing geometry (walls, columns and racking) to localize without floor magnets, reflectors, or QR codes. Vehicles can be re-tasked and layouts changed without reinstalling infrastructure.

The same vehicle can provide manual remote control, semi-autonomous operation, and full autonomy according to the site’s operating needs.

• Stack · BlueBotics ANT® and natural navigation
• Modes · Manual, semi-autonomous, and autonomous
• Localization · SLAM using existing geometry
• Infrastructure · No floor magnets or reflectors required
• Re-tasking · No infrastructure changes

The safety architecture is designed around ISO 3691-4 according to project scope and configuration. Redundant safety LIDARs create protective fields around the chassis and carried load, including loads that overhang the vehicle footprint.

3D anticollision cameras add height-aware detection for forks, mezzanines, and cantilevered loads. Dynamic safety zones adapt to speed, steering angle, and load presence.

Safety I/O can integrate through hardwired interlocks, Profisafe, or CIP Safety according to the customer architecture.

• Architecture · ISO 3691-4 according to configuration and scope
• Sensing · Safety LIDAR and 3D anticollision cameras
• Coverage · 360° around chassis and load
• Zones · Dynamic according to speed, steering, and load
• Interlocks · Profisafe, CIP Safety, or hardwired depending on configuration

Smart Alignment adds a docking layer over natural navigation. Before insertion or transfer, the vehicle detects reference geometry (a tag, reflector or cart feature) and continuously corrects its alignment.

This correction provides repeatable handoff to pallets, molds, dies, conveyors, presses, and robots without manual operator guidance.

Repeatability is tuned to the application; it is typically ±5 mm for pallets and can be tighter for dies and tooling depending on configuration.

• Repeatability · ±5 mm typical, depending on application and configuration
• Sensing · LIDAR and tags or reflectors
• Cycle · Continuous real-time correction
• Use · Pallet, mold, die, and cart docking
• Operator · Handoff without manual guidance

Tandem mode wirelessly pairs two vehicles that share trajectory, speed, and safety state in real time so they operate as one virtual vehicle.

The architecture addresses long, heavy, or eccentric loads such as wind blades, fuselages, long beams, and oversized fixtures. A safety stop from either vehicle stops the pair.

The same fleet can run solo or in tandem. Combined capacity can reach up to 60 tonnes depending on the vehicles, load, interface, and selected configuration.

• Synchronization · Wireless and real-time
• Capacity · Up to 60 t depending on combined configuration
• Applications · Blades, fuselages, long beams, and fixtures
• Safety · Either vehicle’s stop halts the pair
• Flexibility · Solo or tandem with the same fleet

Inogec vehicles can use 48 V Li-ion NMC battery packs sized to the duty cycle. Autonomous stations can be placed at route break points for charging during natural operating pauses.

Battery state of charge and state of health report to the fleet manager; charging cycles can be logged for warranty and predictive maintenance.

Depending on charger, battery, and duty-cycle configuration, a 5–15 minute opportunity charge can support continuous operation up to 24/7.

• Battery · 48 V Li-ion NMC depending on configuration
• Charging · Autonomous docking stations
• Strategy · Opportunity charging, up to 24/7 depending on duty cycle
• Fast charge · 5–15 min depending on configuration
• Monitoring · State of charge and state of health

Inogec vehicles are engineered for heavy, demanding manufacturing environments such as foundries, paper mills, coil yards, and body shops.

Frames use welded steel with industrial paint. Drivetrains use industrial motors and gearboxes; electronics can be installed in sealed cabinets with positive-pressure ventilation depending on the environment.

Each vehicle goes through bench testing, FAT in Sherbrooke, and SAT at the customer site. An MTBF target above 20,000 hours remains a design objective that depends on configuration, use, and operating conditions.

• Frame · Welded steel and industrial paint
• Motors · Industrial with sealed gearboxes
• Cabinets · Sealed, optional positive pressure
• Validation · Bench, FAT, then SAT
• MTBF target · Designed > 20,000 h depending on configuration and use
