Mitä haasteita materiaalivirtojen automatisointi ratkaisee?
Monissa varastoissa materiaalivirrat ovat entistä monimutkaisempia. Yritykset käsittelevät yhä laajempaa valikoimaa tuotteita, erilaisia kuormalavoja ja useita samanaikaisia tavaravirtoja.
Siirrettävät kuormat voivat olla lavoja, yksittäisiä tuotteita, komponentteja tai keräiltyjä tilauksia, ja niiden on liikuttava sujuvasti varaston, tuotannon sekä eri työvaiheiden välillä, esimerkiksi lastausasemilta pakkaukseen, luovutuspisteille tai kuljettimille.
Kun siirrot eri vaiheiden välillä tehdään manuaalisesti tai prosessit eivät toimi saumattomasti, syntyy helposti pullonkauloja, viiveitä ja ylimääräisiä kustannuksia, jotka heikentävät tuottavuutta.
Automaattitrukit (AGV) auttavat poistamaan nämä tehottomuudet automatisoimalla toistuvat kuljetukset ja varmistamalla sujuvan materiaalivirran koko prosessin läpi. Näin varasto toimii tehokkaammin, turvallisemmin ja skaalautuu helpommin kasvaviin tarpeisiin.

Frequently asked questions about automated pallet transportation
What applications are ideal for automated pallet transport?
Any operation that requires moving pallets, parts, or picked goods from a pickup point to a drop‑off point, such as a wrapper, handover station, or conveyor, can benefit from implementing an automated guided vehicle.
Can AGVs handle all types of pallets?
Our AGVs can handle a variety of pallets, standard and custom designed. The vehicles can be configured to handle multiple designs in the same system.
Can automation handle bottom-board pallets?
Yes, Toyota’s automated counterbalanced stackers and reach trucks can handle bottom-board pallets, e.g. EU pallets on long side and industry pallets that are closed with a bottom board on all 4 sides.
Can logistics automation work anywhere in the warehouse?
AGVs can operate anywhere manual forklifts operate.
Is the implementation process of automated pallet transportation complex?
Implementation is included in our offer. We have local, skilled, and trained staff who follow a well-defined project process and an implementation guide to secure a smooth and safe rollout. Before optimisation begins, we carry out structured preparation work, mapping current workflows, validating data, and identifying improvement opportunities. This foundation enables us to introduce step‑by‑step automation in a controlled and transparent way, ensuring that every process is optimised with clarity, accuracy, and minimal disruption.
Do we need to change our warehouse layout when implementing automation?
Our automation solutions are designed to support customers’ existing layout, however for an optimal material flow, changes in layout may be suggested.
Does Toyota Material Handling have automation software?
Yes, our in-house automation software, T-ONE (Optimise – Navigate – Execute), acts as an integration layer connecting AGVs with warehouse systems, identification tools, and other material‑handling equipment, using a modern service-based architecture with clear APIs for easy integration. It supports flexible workflow configuration, offers a customisable operator interface, and provides built‑in performance metrics with visualised data.
Other automation needs?
Toyota Material Handling, market leader in material handling equipment, offers a wide range of warehouse automation solutions, from automated pallet transportation with simple horizontal pallet carriers or AGVs to automated storage solutions with precise high-level stacking and automated storage and retrieval systems.
