We are proud to announce the expansion of our robotics portfolio at MTS and welcome a new member, company K. Hartwall. This exclusive partnership brings new opportunities for automation and production process optimization to the Slovak market. K. Hartwall, with its strategic product A-MATE®, will provide solutions for logistics and enhancing AGV systems.

“We are looking forward to a successful collaboration with MTS, one that will benefit not only our companies but also our customers who rely on cutting-edge automation solutions to drive their businesses forward”, says Dr. Ralf Kleedörfer, Head of Automation at K.Hartwall. Dávid Gurčík, Product Manager of the Robotics Division at MTS supports this: “We are excited to be partnering with K.Hartwall. Their long-term experience in intralogistics, know-how and technical knowledge in mobile robotics is important to us and adds to our strengths and expertise.”

The AGV A-MATE® from K. Hartwall are intelligent mobile robots designed to transport logisticunits without a need for an operator or driver. Thanks to the free-lift feature, the mobile robot can handle loads up to 1,000 kg on the floor, shelves, or conveyors. “We are facing growing demand from our end customers, who require a higher volume of ‘floor-to-floor’ goods transport or want to comply with the VDA 5050 standard.

A-MATE® is a robust AGV that offers stable and flexible solutions for our customers to meet their expectations,” says Dávid Gurčík. Most MTS customers are looking for AGV solutions for their existing operations. The A-MATE® FreeLift offers an omnidirectional driving system for agile movements in confined spaces. This combination, along with interoperability with third-party systems according to VDA 5050 standards, allows MTS to build stable, safe, and robust applications for customers.
