Since 2007, America in Motion has specialized in tailor-made Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and mobile robots. Our eBOT line of mobile robots gives you the freedom to create customized AGVs using a modular approach. Similar to building a custom car, you have the ability to select each piece or feature of the vehicle in order to create an AGV to specifically meet the needs of your operation. There are three main pieces to consider when building your mobile robot. First, the robot itself, second, the manager (otherwise known as the computer system that directs the robot where to go) and lastly the tracker, which is an optional feature allowing product to be tracked throughout your facility. Throughout every step of the process, a fully customizable option is available. As you piece together your custom solution, keep in mind that features can be added later, or even exchanged for different ones at a later stage. We understand the demands within your operations change, which is why the EBOT line changes with you.

Types of AGVs (Automatic Guided Vehicles)
In 1954, when Arthur "Mac" Barrett, of Barrett Electronics Corporation, unveiled the first AGV, he named it Guide-o-Matic and described it as a driverless vehicle. Guide-O-Matic was a towing machine that followed a signal given from a wire in the ceiling...
Depalletizers
Palletizing is the process of putting items on a pallet. The process of emptying the loaded objects in the reverse pattern is known as depalletizing. A pallet is a flat, square-shaped platform used to transport and safely handle numerous items simultaneously...
Pallet Stackers
A pallet stacker is a machine designed to assist the user in lifting, moving and handling palletized materials with ease. A pallet itself is a flat and horizontal structure used to support goods in a sturdy fashion. Manual pallet stackers make use...
Palletizer
A palletizer is an automated material handling machine used to stack and orient several individual products into a single load for a more convenient and economical method of handling, storage, and shipment. Palletizers are usually part of a bigger packaging process...
Forklift Trucks
A forklift truck is an electrical or gas powered industrial piece of equipment with a metal fork platform attached to its front that can be used to lift heavy loads by inserting the fork platform under cargo, pallets, or machines for moving them or placing them in storage...
Automation Systems
An automation system is an integration of sensors, controls, and actuators designed to perform a function with minimal or no human intervention. The field concerned in this subject is called Mechatronics which is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering that combines mechanical...
