And this is not the only way you benefit from maximum flexibility: You can easily place orders for goods transport using a tablet or smartphone as required.

Flexible routes

With WEASEL Lite, the automation of your logistics is tailored precisely to your requirements: The vehicle fleets follow an optical track that you simply stick on the floor yourself.

Conveying Systems for Small Load Carriers

When is the Weasel Lite to be preferred over a classic Weasel installation?

The most suitable Weasel installation depends on its usage, where you need to consider the complexity of the layout and the fleet size. The Weasel Lite is ideal for small to medium-sized fleets and layouts with low complexity. Larger fleets require control by a superior fleet controller. This is only possible with a classic Weasel installation.

FAQs about the WEASEL Lite

Questions about our automated guided vehicles? You can find the answers here.

Our automated guided vehicles transport dimensionally stable small load carriers like bins, cartons, etc. with a weight of up to 35 kg and maximum dimensions of 600 x 400 x 510 mm (length x width x height).

WEASEL Lite can be used across all industries for all types of material transport – whether goods-in inspection, buffering, packaging and shipping, installation or production. The AGV is designed for use on flat surfaces in closed rooms with a temperature between 2–50°C (non-condensing). Another important requirement for smooth operation is the floor condition: The floor should be free from major soiling (e.g. dirt, oil, etc.). The solution is only suitable for application in areas with interference-free Bluetooth Low Energy communication. 

Yes! A particularly efficient combination is with our SSI LOGIMAT vertical lift module: The fully automatic further transport of the picked bins means that the picking area, goods-in, production line or shipping area can be intelligently linked. This simultaneously relieves employees and reduces travel times. This increases your picking throughput and significantly reduces costs. Would you like to connect your AGVs with existing conveying systems? Then our WEASEL Classic is the right choice for you!

Yes! Thanks to the modular concept and simple installation, you can adapt and expand your system at any time. The option of integrating several conveyor vehicles as a fleet solution or upgrading to our WEASEL Classic makes the AGV optimally scalable.

Our AGV for small load carriers is characterized by low acquisition and operating costs as well as a fast return on investment (ROI). We would be happy to provide you with an individual quotation for this service!
