ELOKON (Booth B9206) is showcasing its new ELOshield module for driverless transport vehicles like AGVs and AMRs at Modex. With ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless sensors that offer a 360-degree range of up to 82 feet, the ELOshield AGV/AMR module prevents collisions between these small and often overlooked vehicles in warehouses, DCs and manufacturing plants.

With driverless transport vehicles an integral part of today’s warehouses, DCs and manufacturing plants, the ELOshield AGV/AMR module significantly increases worker safety while protecting the organization’s major investment in automated materials handling technologies

“When combined with warning lights, gate controls or projectors, as companies often do, they see an even more comprehensive improvement in operational safety without compromising vehicle productivity in any way,” said ELOKON CEO Alex Glasmacher

ELOshield, the ELOshield AGV/AMR module and ELOKON’s cloud-based forklift fleet management solutions are all on display at the company’s booth at Modex.
