There has been a significant change in the VDI Technical Committee: on 25 September 2025, the VDI Technical Committee FA309 \u2018Driverless Transport Systems (AGVs)\u2019 was officially renamed VDI Technical Committee FA309 \u2018Mobile Robotics\u2019<\/strong>.
With this name change, the committee is responding to the dynamic developments in intralogistics and automation \u2013 because modern mobile robotics today encompasses much more than the classic AGV.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The committee’s leadership was also re-elected on 25 September 2025.<\/p>\n

    The FA309 technical committee sees itself as a central platform for technical exchange on automated transport and robot systems in intralogistics..
    The focus is on topics such as:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Technical development of AGVs and AMRs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Standardisation and safety standards<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Practical experience and best practices<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Promoting understanding between manufacturers, integrators and users<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      <\/p>\n

      With its new structure and expanded focus on \u2018mobile robotics\u2019, FA309 is positioning itself as a forward-looking committee in the field of industrial automation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
