About Beldrive Engineering
Beldrive Engineering GmbH, based in Chemnitz-Einsiedel, is a specialist in material flow automation and develops and manufactures drive and control electronics, permanently excited synchronous motors (external rotor motors and generators) as well as automated guided transport systems (AGVS), autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) for heavy load transport. The portfolio also includes operator-guided transport and assembly trolleys, control units, accessories, software and customer-specific drive solutions. The drive systems cover torques from 2 Nm to 270 Nm and power up to 1.5 kW and are used in the automotive industry, mechanical and plant engineering, warehousing and shipping, healthcare, medical technology as well as sports and leisure. In addition to product manufacturing, the company offers project planning, simulation of the overall system, optimization of drive systems, commissioning, repair services, user training and AGV rental. Beldrive systems are in use at more than 42 sites in 13 countries on 5 continents, with over 42 million operating hours; customers include Bosch, Siemens and all well-known automobile manufacturers.

Materials & Technology
Metal materials (conventional AGV construction)
Conventional metal construction of automated guided vehicles for robust, durable systems.
Wood materials (lightweight construction, WVC-AGV research project)
In the WVC-AGV research project, metal materials are substituted by a composite of sustainable lightweight construction materials, primarily wood materials, in order to develop lighter guided vehicles with increased payload.
