FFT developed intelligent guided vehicles (iGVs) for streamlined transportation and mobile workstations. Their objectives were to reduce integration work, expand iGV adoption across industries, and increase payload capabilities. With Siemens' support, FFT achieved easier technology adoption, implemented innovative safety features, and gained user trust through familiar standards, resulting in successful operations and positive feedback.
  • The solution developed by FFT is an intelligent guided vehicle (iGV) system that serves as both a transportation tool and a mobile workstation for surface inspection and reworking. 
  • By integrating Siemens'  automation concept, control software (SIMOVE Carrier control), and laser-based navigation (SIMOVE ANS+), FFT created a comprehensive solution for efficient and safe vehicle control in complex manufacturing environments. 
  • The implementation of hybrid navigation, combining lane-guided route control with free laser-based navigation, allows for precise positioning and high flexibility, addressing the diverse needs of customers across industries. 
"Previously, layout adjustments by suppliers sometimes took one to two weeks. Now we're doing it ourselves – and in no time at all,the change is implemented"
Christian Schuster, Sales iGV FFT
