With speeds up to two meters per second, KUKA’s KMP 600-S diffDrive mobile platform is not only fast, but also meets the highest safety requirements thanks to its laser scanner and 3D object detection. The automated guided vehicle system thus takes industrial internal systems to the next level.
Free-moving AGVs: material handling in dynamic environments
The KUKA KMP 600-S diffDrive mobile platform opens up new avenues and greater flexibility for in-house production. The KMP 600-S diffDrive supports as an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) with a payload of up to 600 kg. The KUKA KMP 600-S diffDrive also allows employees maximum freedom of movement as the product does not require a safety fence. The AGV is equipped with a laser scanner in the direction of the main movement which monitors the front area and a second scanner in the rear for high speed during reverse motion when cycle time is required.
Vehicles with HRC capabilities can be used flexibly and safely in human work environments.
What advantages do AGVs bring to internal logistics services?
AGVs bring needed goods and materials fully automatically to the right place at the right time. They take on physically demanding transportation duties and can share aisles with operators and conventional industrial trucks thanks to their comprehensive safety technology. Through the use of camera-based 3D object detection, they integrate seamlessly into existing production environments. The KMP 600-S diffDrive can also be extended with 3D object detection. This allows the AGV to automatically detect obstacles between 30 mm and 4 meters above the ground. At the same time, the KMP 600-S diffDrive is ideally equipped for harsh everyday industrial production environments: the IP 54 design protects it from things like water spray and dust.

Automated Guided Vehicles from KUKA: Quick Start, Simple Maintenance
Applications can be programmed using JAVA. In order for KUKA’s intelligent, self-driving vehicles to optimally support internal material flows, they must be taught initially. The KMP 600-S diffDrive is operated quickly and easily via the wireless controller. Maintenance is as easy as starting up: AGV components such as rollers, laser scanners and service interfaces can be accessed without tools – for inspection, firmware updates, performance adjust and repair.
KUKA AGV KMP 600-S diffDrive: a flexible solution for your automated vehicle navigation system
The KMP 600-S diffDrive comes with an ideal partner, bringing out its full potential perfectly in autonomous navigation vehicles: KUKA.NavigationSolution. Software solution with intelligent SLAM algorithm (Simultaneous Mapping and Mapping) generates a map of the surroundings. Therefore, it can take care of localization in space (on the vehicle itself) as well as coordinate all automatically guided vehicles (on a central computer). Using information such as distance and speed, fleet managers determine the best route on the road network. The software covers all the requirements in the mobile sector.
