In short: not really. With AGVs, all that really counts is throughput and performance. Autonomy is primarily an addition of functions, such as autonomous avoidance of obstacles through to completely free choice of route. In most cases, the increased total cost of ownership (TCO) over the entire investement period is not economically viable. Autonomous AGVs are currently seen as a "magic bullet" and this suggests control and planning reliability. However, it can only react autonomously to a blocked route to a limited extent without losing efficiency. This does not solve the actual problem, but rather compensates the symptoms at higher cost. In comparison, autonomy always requires more time, higher space requirements and overall higher costs. uTrack guarantees stability and forces compliance with the processes in order to make the transport as efficient as possible.
