Problem
Manual pallet transport using hand pallet trucks requires frequent turning and maneuvering, consuming valuable floor space and relying on scarce labor. In intralogistics environments, these constraints limit throughput and increase the risk of ergonomic injuries for operators.
Solution
Filics offers an automated double‑skid robot that can drive directly through standard Euro pallets and other load carriers, eliminating the need for turning or rerouting maneuvers. The unit’s omnidirectional drive provides a zero‑degree turning radius, so only the space occupied by the pallet itself is required for movement. By integrating a web‑based control interface, operators can monitor and adjust robot tasks from any device, enabling collaborative operation where the robot handles repetitive transport while staff focus on value‑added work. The system is compatible with a wide range of carriers—including pallets, lattice boxes, and conveyor‑linked loads—allowing seamless retrofitting into existing material‑handling lines and improving overall process efficiency.
Target Audience
The primary customers are logistics providers, contract‑logistics operators, and manufacturers seeking to automate manual pallet transport in warehouses, production lines, and assembly stations.
Features
- Double‑skid chassis that slides beneath and through pallets, achieving a 0° turning radius
- Omnidirectional drive motors for precise, multi‑directional movement without reorientation
- Compatibility with standard Euro‑size pallets and various load carriers such as lattice boxes
- Web‑based, device‑agnostic UI with customizable dashboards for real‑time performance analytics
- Collaborative safety controls that allow safe operation alongside human workers
- Side‑ejection capability for lateral pallet removal and integration with conveyor or truck loading stations
- Scalable architecture that can be expanded to multiple units for larger warehouse or production floor deployments
