The Association of German Engineers VDI has had the
VDI Technical Committee “Automated Guided Vehicles Systems (AGVS)” since 1986. During this time, numerous
VDI guidelines have been developed, which have established themselves as authoritative technical regulations.
Dr.-Ing. Günter Ullrich is a founding member and has headed the growing group since the mid-1990s.
All AGVS manufacturers organised in the VDI founded the
Forum AGVS in 2006 as a community of interests for the sector of Automated Guided Vehicles. The group is made up of
more than twenty member companies from six European countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland). Among the members are the
well-known AGVS manufacturers, component manufacturers and planners.
