Levels of intralogistics automation
The level of automation is determined by your processes. Our experts work closely with you to find the right level of automation and systematically develop your processes.
1. Assisted driving
Assistance systems automatically support with certain tasks.
2. Semi-automated driving
Vehicles navigate partially autonomously or take over certain tasks automatically.
3. Recommendation for action
Self-driving industrial trucks in a fully automated process.

Automated guided vehicles in practice
Advice on Intalogistics Automation - Four Steps to an Automation Concept
With our expertise, we support you in analysing your processes and identify automation potential for your company. You decide whether you want to take advantage of our additional consulting services. The services are carried out by experienced STILL intralogistics experts and include the following steps in detail:
1. Data acquisition
After a warehouse inspection, we receive a transparent overview of the existing material flow.
2. Analysis
Automation potentials are derived from process and transport data and the technical and economic feasibility of different automation variants is determined.
3. Recommendation for action
Based on our years of industry expertise and your economic key figures, you will receive your individual recommendation for action.
4. Concept and specifications
Development of a concept that clearly shows added values. Development of a functional specification as the basis for the implementation of your individual solution.

Automation solutions from STILL
Not every automation solution makes economic sense for your individual requirements. We accompany you as partners in the selection of the appropriate automation level.
Automation with assistance systems Level 1 - Assisted driving
At this level, the driver is supported in his tasks by various intelligent assistance functions on his truck, but remains responsible for navigation in every situation. For example, with individually programmable warnings and situation-related speed adjustments, STILL enables highly safe and fatigue-free work with manual control.
Automated Industrial Trucks Level 2 - Partially Automated Driving
This level of automation includes solutions that enable vehicles to navigate in the warehouse partially on their own using special software or artificial intelligence and sensors. This makes them an intelligent partner for their users. Equipped accordingly, order-picking vehicles can follow their operators wherever they go and narrow-aisle trucks can be moved semi-automatically to the correct pallet position along the optimal path. The driver, however, remains responsible for the actions of his forklift at every step. Semi-automated vehicles in this way relieve the employee and increase both the productivity and the safety of your warehouse.
Automated Guided Vehicles Level 3 - Fully Automated Driving
Self-driving industrial trucks for automating internal logistics are now being used successfully by many industry leaders - and have been proven to significantly increase handling performance. With standardised automation kits, individual STILL series trucks can be automated for different process requirements within a very short time and scaled up to form a fully automated logistics process.
To implement a fully automated supply chain, we complement the iGo systems portfolio with solutions from our group sister DEMATIC, the world's leading supplier of integrated automation technology. This allows you to benefit from the advantages of a perfect interplay between automated STILL series trucks and stationary DEMATIC automation solutions, such as conveyor, distribution and sortation systems, stacker cranes or AutoStore systems.
