LCS SpA: Design, Integration, and Implementation of Automated Systems

The AGV-AMR Division of LCS SpA supports customers in designing tailor-made, reliable automation solutions, developed to meet specific operational requirements.

Our teams of designers and specialized mechatronic engineers work in synergy, integrating solutions based on Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR).

The process starts with a detailed analysis of flows and requirements, followed by the selection of the most suitable vehicle and navigation system to solve handling challenges, or by designing a special-purpose machine built around customer needs.

Every project is supported by simulation of the final solution, and guided step by step through installation and start-up assistance.

LCS Fluid

LCS SpA has entered a strategic equity alliance with Fluid, a company specialized in advanced software for AGV and AMR fleet management.

By combining LCS’s engineering expertise with Fluid’s software platform, it is now possible to optimize mixed fleets for handling different types of goods across warehouses and production plants. The result is an automated ecosystem of shuttles (AGV and AMR) working in perfect synchronization, even when supplied by different brands and featuring diverse functionalities.

Turnkey Solutions for Material Handling

LCS Fluid Manager enables the integration of multiple vehicle types within a single environment, including:

Forklift or platform AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles)

Flat AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), rack-integrated AMRs, cobot-equipped AMRs

LGVs (Laser Guided Vehicles)

Battery-powered or induction shuttles

Special-purpose vehicles with magnetic, laser, or QR-code guidance

Fluid’s software is built on the VDA 5050 communication standard, enabling seamless integration and management of heterogeneous fleets of AGVs and AMRs, regardless of manufacturer or navigation type.

Key benefits include:

Universal integration: compatibility with different vehicle types (low-profile AGVs, forklifts, etc.).

Operational flexibility: simultaneous management of SLAM, QR-code, and magnetic navigation.

Intelligent messaging system: standardized command transmission with customization options.

One of the critical aspects of fleet management is the risk of deadlock situations compromising logistics flows. Fluid’s software uses an advanced predictive algorithm to:

Analyze AGV/AMR routes in real time and detect potential conflicts in advance.

Define navigation horizons, optimizing paths to avoid problematic intersections.

Ensure continuous flow, reducing downtime and increasing efficiency.

Fluid’s system allows simulation and testing of fleet behavior before go-live, delivering significant advantages in planning and optimization:

Import of warehouse or plant layouts for realistic simulations.

Optimal fleet sizing determine the ideal number of AGVs/AMRs.

Mission generation optimization validate routes and execution times to minimize idle time.

The integration of Fluid software with LCS automation systems enables companies to fully automate and digitalize logistics flows, providing:

Higher efficiency: reduced handling times and optimized paths.

Flexibility & scalability: easily expand fleets and reconfigure routes.

Lower operating costs: reduced labor needs and optimized resource usage.

Safety & traceability: minimized accident risk and real-time monitoring.

Interoperability: simultaneous management of vehicles from different manufacturers and technologies.
