Industry Masterclass Series – Are Automated Guided Vehicles Right for Your Factory?

Automation decisions aren’t theoretical anymore. They’re happening on live production sites affecting safety, cost, uptime, and people.

This CPD-accredited masterclass is for manufacturing, engineering, operations, and logistics leaders who want practical insight into whether Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) genuinely solve real-world problems and how to implement them safely.

Hosted by Laura Hayton, Head of Business Development at Transicon, Jennifer Hughes, General Manager at Transicon with Jan Louwen, Managing Director at Stäubli Robotics, the session combines OEM expertise with hands-on industry experience.

This is not a sales webinar. It’s an honest, engineering-led discussion on what works, what doesn’t, and why.

What you’ll learn

  • Why AGVs are gaining traction and how to choose the right type – Understand the current drivers for adoption, from operational efficiency to safety, and the differences between AMRs, mid-payload, and heavy-duty AGVs so you can match technology to your site’s needs.
  • Practical insights from OEMs and real-world use cases – Learn from Stäubli and Transicon about successful implementations, common pitfalls, and managing challenges around integration, people, and site constraints.
  • Assessing value and implementing safely – Go beyond headline ROI numbers to build a realistic business case, understand risk management, and follow a clear roadmap from initial evaluation to a successful rollout.
