The Alco Smart Floor coating offers an innovative solution for the navigation of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots). This technology uses the unique structure of the floor to create a virtual line or grid, allowing the robots to orient themselves and navigate with precision. The robots use this visual structure to determine their position, enabling them to move through their environment with great accuracy. Initially, this technology was developed for use on concrete floors, but the Alco Smart Floor now also provides a solution for coated surfaces. This is made possible by creating a unique fingerprint of the floor, which continuously determines the robot’s exact location. This technology relies on the groundbreaking "Botdrops" technology, which ensures accurate positioning even on painted or coated floors. The Botdrops provide the robots with the correct position information at all times, even on surfaces that are not perfectly uniform. Developed in the Netherlands, Germany, and the US, this technology enables AGVs and AMRs to navigate more effectively and flexibly, even in environments with varied floor surfaces. As a result, the Alco Smart Floor is a valuable tool for companies looking to deploy robots in dynamic and diverse environments.
