Frequently Asked Questions (selected)

• Which warehouse processes are best suited to AGVs? Rocla AGVs excel in repetitive, predictable flows such as pallet transport and staging to docks. Start with high-volume, stable routes for fastest ROI.
• How many Rocla AGVs do I need to meet peak volumes? Fleet size depends on throughput, distances and cycle times; Rocla calculates required fleet size during site survey and simulation.
• Are AGVs safe around people and forklifts? Yes. Rocla AGVs comply with ISO 3691-4 and use advanced sensors; optional Proximity Detection System (PDS) and safe traffic zoning support mixed operations.
• Do we need to modify our facility? Generally minimal modifications are required; readiness checks include aisle width, floor quality, Wi‑Fi coverage and charging points.
• Can Rocla AGVs integrate with our WMS or ERP? Yes. FleetController supports integration via standard APIs and interfaces to WMS/WCS/ERP and other automation.
• Should I automate all processes? Not necessarily. Rocla recommends a stepwise automation approach combining human flexibility and AGV control.
• Are Rocla AGV Solutions scalable? Yes. Solutions are modular and scalable; start with a pilot and expand across sites.
• What happens if an AGV route is blocked? AGVs automatically reroute or stop safely and alert operators; FleetController optimises to avoid congestion.
• How can I monitor the warehouse remotely? FleetController Dashboard provides real-time visibility, history, task progress and workload monitoring.
• Can Rocla AGVs fit in narrow environments? Yes. Variants include Automated Compact Truck (ACT), Automated Reach Truck (ART) and Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) models.
• What is the ROI and payback period? ROI depends on operation size and automation scope; typical payback is reported around 1.5–3 years.
