Warehouse AGV Deployment

Warehouse automation with AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) offers the potential to reduce labor costs, increase throughput, and improve safety—but only when deployed with precision. At HCO Innovations, our AGV Deployment service is designed to evaluate, engineer, and support a system that works in your environment, not just in theory. From planning through commissioning, we help ensure your investment delivers measurable ROI and long-term reliability.

Why Deploy AGVs?

Companies turn to AGVs for good reason. Properly integrated, AGVs deliver:

  • 24/7 operation and higher throughput
  • Reduced manual handling injuries and safety incidents
  • Space optimization through tighter, more predictable paths
  • Consistent cycle times with lower operating costs over time

But achieving those results depends entirely on the deployment process—and that’s where we come in.

AGV Types and Use Cases

We help identify the right AGV model for your workload. That includes:

  • Forklift AGVs: Autonomous pallet movement and storage
  • Tugger/Towing AGVs: Efficient bulk transport across long distances
  • Unit-Load AGVs: Moving individual containers or carts
  • Stacker AGVs: For racking and vertical storage automation
  • Hybrid/Manual Override Vehicles: For flexible use in shared zones

We also guide clients in understanding the difference between traditional AGVs and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), and when each is appropriate based on your floorplan and use case complexity.

Our Deployment Framework

Our end-to-end process follows a proven implementation roadmap:

  1. Operational and workflow assessment
  2. Feasibility and ROI modeling
  3. Vehicle and navigation system selection
  4. Layout reengineering and material flow planning
  5. Integration with WMS, ERP, or existing control systems
  6. Live testing, commissioning, and go-live support

We design for the real world, not showroom conditions. That includes accounting for floor conditions, environmental constraints, charging space, and peak shift volumes.

Systems Integration and Safety

We ensure your AGV solution works with your operational stack. That includes:

  • Fleet controller configuration and task scheduling
  • WMS/ERP integration and data synchronization
  • Design of safe pedestrian zones and collision avoidance logic
  • Infrastructure readiness for connectivity, sensors, and signage

Lifecycle Support and Scaling

Our engagement doesn’t end at launch. We provide full lifecycle support, including:

  • Performance monitoring and route adjustments
  • Ongoing maintenance and reconfiguration support
  • Telematics analysis and system tuning
  • Scalability planning for future AGV additions

As demand changes, we help you grow your system without disrupting existing workflows or compromising safety.
