SEW-EURODRIVE’s Innovation Hub’s Automated Fork Lift

July 7, 2025

SEW-EURODRIVE’s Innovation Hub’s Automated Fork Lift. Automated guided vehicle (AGVS) systems are currently used for assembly lines in many different industry sectors. They are used to automate in-house material flows or serve as the basis for flexible assembly. However, AGVs have limitations, specifically when palletized payloads are in the final stages of throughput, usually riding along on a conveyor system ready to be lifted and loaded into a trailer. SEW-EURODRIVE is changing that.

SEW-EURODRIVE's Innovation Hub's Automated Fork Lift

The introduction to SEW-Eurodrive’s Innovation Lab was a big success. With Ontario reopening earlier this year, the company has been excited to present their technology and automation solutions with customers, students, and the public again. Konrad Kurylo, P. Eng., was on site with other experts to welcome an enthusiastic and.

Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), collaborative robots (cobots), and augmented reality (AR) all had a turn in the spotlight, where the SEW-Eurodrive professionals explained their technology and applications, and customers could ask questions to gain insight into how they could be integrated in their facilities. Seeing the technologies in the Innovation Lab demonstrated how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can use these technologies to enhance their production processes and elevate their factories into the future. 

“You can see that we employ a lot of forward-looking technology, and we are all about Industry 4.0. One aspect of Industry 4.0 is about interconnectivity of high-level IT systems and real time process data transfer between all the parts of the manufacturing process/cycle. From the high-level IT like a WMS/EMS such as SAP for example, all the way down to the production line, between individual machines, and the smart components at the factory floor.”- Konrad Kurylo, P.
