CEIT FTS 3000 AFR – A New Era of Transport Robotization

1. Introduction

History of CEIT

CEIT (Central European Institute of Technology) is an innovative company whose roots go back to the University of Zilina in Slovakia. Already before 2007, intensive research was conducted there on modern logistics and robotics technologies, which eventually led to the commercialization of solutions and the establishment of Asseco CEIT. Currently, the company is a leader in logistics automation, transport robotization and the implementation of autonomous transport systems for industry.

What is CEIT FTS 3000 AFR?

CEIT FTS 3000 AFR is a modern, autonomous internal transport system designed to optimize logistics processes in industrial plants, warehouses and distribution centers. It is an advanced AGV system, i.e. an automatically controlled vehicle, which, thanks to transport robotization technology and the use of radar sensors, ensures the smooth and safe transport of materials.

Thanks to modern solutions, CEIT FTS 3000 AFR fully fits into the concept of logistics automation and industrial mobility, enabling precise management of the flow of goods. The vehicle can operate independently, without the need for human intervention, which eliminates human errors and increases operational efficiency.
