Autonomous transport systems and modular palletizing robotics for internal material flow and distribution centres — with HERROX as the core product.
Internal material flow is the backbone of any manufacturing operation. Classic conveyor systems are designed to serve the same routes in the same sequence every day — they work perfectly as long as nothing changes. That is exactly the problem: product variants are rising, batch sizes are falling, layouts have to be adapted more often.
We close this gap with the HERROX.250 — our automated guided vehicle for containers and small load carriers up to 200 kg. Mecanum omnidirectional, autonomously navigating, with swarm intelligence instead of a central master computer. This is complemented by the HERROX.MD180 drive unit for integrators building their own mobile systems, and by the modular NEXOS.Motion gantry systems for palletizing and depalletizing applications.
All together: a growing, flexibly scalable intralogistics without rebuild phases and downtime.
Conveyor systems are installed for years — logistics layouts today change every few months. Autonomous AGVs instead of fixed tracks are the answer.
Order pickers, maintenance staff and AGVs move in the same areas. Safety requirements are high, driving behaviour must be defensive — without throttling productivity.
An AGV failure during the night shift can stop the entire production. Redundancy through fleet size and swarm intelligence instead of single point of failure.

NEXOS.MotionMulti-axis gantry and portal systems built from NEXOS.Protec frames and NEXOS.LinDrive axes — from 2-axis portals to fully integrated XYZ systems for palletizing, machine tending and pick&place.
DetailsHERROX vehicles are simply added — no induction loops in the floor, no reflectors on the wall. The system detects layout changes itself and updates the map during ongoing operation.
No central fleet manager that can fail. HERROX units coordinate in a decentralized way — one vehicle drops out, the rest keep working.
360° protective field with laser scanners, no blind spots, continuous monitoring of movements. HERROX works reliably in busy production halls — not only in cordoned-off areas.
Free initial discussion (30–60 min). We clarify the parts spectrum, cycle times, environmental conditions and integration into your existing IT/OT.
Component selection, layout, schedule, cost framework. On request with virtual commissioning in NEXOS.XR before manufacturing starts.
Fixed-price or milestone contract, with clearly documented scope of delivery, acceptance criteria and maintenance options.
Prefabrication in the workshop, on-site assembly, programming, acceptance per documented FAT/SAT. Optional: remote service via NEXOS.DSP.
These regulations are considered in our conception, implementation and documentation. Not every standard applies to every project — the specific selection is clarified in the project kick-off meeting.
