Modular Conveyor AGVs for Flexible Manufacturing


As manufacturers shift toward flexible, multi-product, and fast-changing production environments, traditional fixed conveyor lines are becoming increasingly restrictive. Modern factories need material handling systems that can scale quickly, adapt to new products, and support frequent layout changes without halting production.
Modular Conveyor AGVs provide the answer.
With customizable conveyor modules, adaptive navigation, and scalable fleet operation, they enable a new level of flexibility for intelligent manufacturing.
AOTENENG’s modular Conveyor AGVs are engineered for industries where agility, precision, and automation are critical.

Manufacturers no longer run the same product for years at a time.
Product cycles are shorter, batch sizes vary, and line configurations often change.
A modular Conveyor AGV allows factories to:
add or remove features as needed
adjust conveyor length or height
swap rollers, belts, or chains
reconfigure paths digitally
scale fleets based on demand
This level of adaptability gives manufacturers the ability to respond quickly to customer needs.
Every industry handles different materials, so customization is essential.
AOTENENG offers fully modular conveyors, including:
roller conveyors for totes, cartons, trays
belt conveyors for soft bags or friction-sensitive goods
chain conveyors for pallets or heavy parts
dual or multi-layer conveyors for multi-process flows
side-guided conveyors for unstable or tall products
Modules can be assembled in different lengths, widths, and configurations to match exact on-site requirements.
The modular architecture extends to the AGV body itself.
Factories can customize:
chassis size
conveyor height
load capacity
wheel type for different floor conditions
docking interface
This ensures the AGV integrates seamlessly with existing equipment, such as robotic cells, elevators, and fixed conveyors.
AOTENENG supports multiple navigation modes to fit all factory layouts.
Laser SLAM navigation allows AGVs to automatically map their environment and adjust routes in real time.
QR-code or magnetic navigation is ideal for high-precision, fixed-path operations.
Hybrid navigation combines both methods for advanced routing and complex workflows.
This flexibility helps manufacturers optimize paths as layouts evolve.
Modular Conveyor AGVs act as mobile extensions of the assembly line or warehouse system.
They integrate seamlessly with:
robotic arms
MES/WMS/ERP software
PLC-controlled machines
automated conveyors
inspection or labeling systems
This creates a connected ecosystem where materials move automatically based on real-time demand.
Modular AGVs excel in:
high-mix environments
low-to-medium volume production
frequent line changeovers
multi-step assembly processes
Instead of rebuilding conveyor lines, factories can reprogram AGV routes or rearrange modules.
This dramatically reduces downtime and engineering costs.
As production expands, adding more Conveyor AGVs is straightforward.
AOTENENG’s fleet management system automatically:
assigns tasks
prevents traffic conflicts
balances workload
optimizes energy usage
manages charging schedules
This ensures consistent performance even as fleet size increases.
AOTENENG modular Conveyor AGVs are widely used in:
Delivering parts between assembly cells, battery modules, or subassembly lines.
Moving trays, PCBs, and sensitive components in cleanroom conditions.
Supporting multi-model assembly lines with frequent product changes.
Handling packaged goods, cartons, or batching flows.
Transporting bins, totes, and orders through dynamic sorting environments.
Ensuring clean, traceable, and highly controlled material movement.
Because modules can be replaced or upgraded independently, factories avoid costly system overhauls.
Benefits include:
lower engineering changes
reduced maintenance cost
longer equipment lifespan
easier future integration
faster return on investment
A modular system adapts with your factory—not the other way around.
AOTENENG delivers:
