AGILOX ONE

What it's for

The AGILOX ONE is an omnidirectional AMR from Austria's AGILOX Automation, designed for flexible material transport in tight corridors between racks and assembly lines. The robot is 186 cm tall, weighs 420 kg and, according to the manufacturer, travels at up to 1.4 m/s, with a payload of up to 1,000 kg with a single scissor lift or 750 kg with a double one.

What does that mean in practice? In a factory: moving pallets and containers between the component store and production cells, with no rebuilding of the hall and no conveyors. In internal logistics: carrying loads between receiving, buffer and dispatch zones. The manufacturer names flexible transport in narrow passages as the main application and looks for customers in industry and manufacturing. The model's greatest strength is the X-SWARM system: the fleet coordinates without a central server. If one robot stops, the rest do not wait for a command from above but choose another route.

This makes sense where the hall layout changes more often than once every few years. For the general background, including how an AMR differs from a classic AGV, see the category “Mobile robots (AMR)” and the article “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”. We also describe typical usage scenes under “Factories and manufacturing” and warehouses.

Who it's for

Makes sense for: mid-sized and large production plants where pallets and carts travel along narrow corridors and the line layout is sometimes rearranged. Companies that want to test automation in practice first: in Poland the distributor, ASTOR, allows renting before purchase, which lowers the entry barrier. Maintenance departments bothered by a single central server as a single point of failure.

Less suited to: small firms that need a few simple moves, because the price is set on request only and a 420 kg robot is an industrial investment. Nor is it a good choice for someone looking for a quick price comparison online: there is simply no public price list. If you need a lighter robot for small loads, take a look at the SAFELOG AGV S3 or the Omron LD-60/90.

Deployments

ASTOR offers the robot, but we do not know of a plant that uses it by name, so we do not pretend to. Our catalog lists no named references from abroad either.

Transport AMRs are the best-documented segment of mobile robotics. Amazon has launched robotized centers in Poland with its own fleet (see Amazon Proteus), and MiR, Omron and KUKA offer transport robots to integrators around the world. If you want to see AGILOX live, ask ASTOR for a reference visit or a trial in the form of a rental.

The closest alternatives are other versatile AMRs for internal transport. The MiR250 is the popular 250 kg class with a broad ecosystem of accessories and top modules; choose it when loads are lighter and you value a wide support network. The Omron LD-60/90 is the base version (60 or 90 kg) with a safety laser and sonar, sensible for light transport, not for pallets.

If the loads are truly heavy, look at the OTTO 1500: a payload of up to 1,900 kg and 10 hours on a battery make it a candidate for heavy transport. The KUKA KMP 600P is a compact AMR rated to 600 kg, only 27 cm tall, available in Poland through KUKA Polska; its design differs from AGILOX's because it drives under the load. From the manufacturer's catalog it is also worth comparing the sibling models: the AGILOX OFL (autonomous forklift), the AGILOX OCF and the AGILOX ODM.

AGILOX Automation is an Austrian company from Leonding, founded in 2015. Its distinguishing feature from the start has been the decentralized X-SWARM fleet: instead of a server issuing commands to the robots, each robot makes decisions itself and exchanges information with the rest. The ONE is the versatile transport model and belongs to a family of four AMRs that we cover (alongside the OFL, OCF and ODM).

We have no launch date for the ONE, so we do not give one. An important date in Poland is May 2025, when ASTOR introduced the OFL to the domestic market, an autonomous forklift with independently controlled forks, so the AGILOX family is new in ASTOR's Polish offering.
