Products & services
ConTrax® HybridNav
With ConTrax® HybridNav, BÄR Automation presents its first navigation software developed in-house for automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The solution was specifically designed for demanding industrial environments where flexibility, safety, and predictability are equally important—regardless of whether the project is a brownfield or greenfield project.
Automated guided vehicles | autonomous mobile robots
Our automated guided vehicles are customised to a high degree of automation without restricting their flexibility. This enables seamless integration into existing and dynamically changing productions structures. In addition, our unique energy management system ensures 24/7 operation. We offer modular solutions here in order to be able to react flexibly to the individual needs of our customers. Our modular ConTrax® system provides the ideal basis for this.
Customized Automation & Assembly Technology Solutions
The automation of production processes is essential for the success of modern companies. As a system integrator, we offer customised solutions that are individually designed to suit the needs of our customers. Planning, design and production are carried out from a single source. We realise systems and complex assembly lines that combine various stations and modules such as conveyor belts and robot arms and cover the entire production process. Our customers benefit from our experience in the automotive industry, medical technology, food production and the manufacturing industry.
ConTrax Assembly System
The ConTrax® Assembly System is a state-of-the-art assembly transport system that optimises the manufacturing process by transporting workpieces from one assembly station to the next. The system is flexible, enables simple customisation and allows quick changes to the track guidance. This means that conventional conveyor technology, consisting of roller conveyors or conveyor belts, is efficiently optimised, expanded and more easily scalable - without having to redesign the entire system in the event of product changes. In addition, the retrofitting of stations is significantly simplified.
ConTrax Logistic System
The ConTrax® Logistic System optimises the material flow in which automated guided vehicles transport goods and materials between the various storage areas and production lines. As the load handling modules can be customised, the AGVs are not tied to fixed shapes, sizes or weights. The combination of autonomous navigation and modular design makes the system extremely flexible. It allows the integration of new stations, enables simple route changes and ensures precise, dynamic intralogistics.
TrolleyFlex Adapter
The ConTrax® TrolleyFlex Adapter by BÄR Automation is ideal for modernizing brownfield systems efficiently and flexibly - without high investment costs. It seamlessly integrates existing trolleys into automated transport systems. Functions such as height adjustment, flexible ball head coupling and the transport of trolleys with fixed castors optimize existing processes. The innovative coupling enables precise picking, omnidirectional pushing and moving, even on ramps. This significantly increases the efficiency of your logistics.
ConTrax® Forklift AGV
The ConTrax® Forklift AGV combines maximum maneuverability with minimal space requirements and meets the highest demands for efficiency and safety. It transports standardized pallets, even with floor edging, and enables precise transfers – even in narrow pallet aisles. Thanks to its omnidirectional chassis, it navigates in all directions. The flexible width adjustment ensures tipping stability at high lift heights, without counterweights, and guarantees reliable operation in every application. Benefits at a Glance • Compact design – With a footprint of just 830 x 2400 mm, it's ideal for narrow pallet aisles and space-saving logistics. • Variable width adjustment – Automatic adjustment for high tipping stability at lift heights of up to 3 m. • Innovative lightweight design – Reduced overall weight thanks to horizontal lifting and stable arm units reduces energy consumption. • High load capacity – Transports loads of up to 1,500 kg and is suitable for versatile applications. • Omnidirectional maneuverability – Flexible movement in any direction for maximum maneuverability and safety. With this innovation, our ConTrax® Forklift AGV offers a sophisticated combination of flexibility, energy efficiency, and stability – the ideal solution for modern logistics requirements. • Inductive charging – enables 24/7 operation
