About Esatroll SA
Esatroll SA is a Swiss company based in Castel San Pietro (Ticino) that has been developing and producing high-tech devices and machinery for industry since 1995. Its core business is laser- and inertially guided driverless transport vehicles (AGV/LGV) as well as automatic shuttles for logistics and warehouse automation. The fleet comprises around 45 product types, including counterbalance vehicles, outdoor vehicles with 3–4 wheels, rail-guided vehicles, bidirectional and quadridirectional vehicles, pallet trucks, maxi shuttles, satellite vehicles and custom special vehicles. The vehicles transport loads from 200 kg to 20 tonnes on load platforms or forks and can also be used outdoors on sufficiently even ground and in night-shift operation. Engineering, design and software development (supervision, WMS, PLC, image processing, track software) are carried out entirely in-house; in addition, Esatroll offers installation, commissioning after testing as well as maintenance and assistance. The systems are used, among other things, in warehouse and production logistics as well as in the Industry 4.0 environment.
