Manufacturing of paper, textile, flooring, roofing and many other flat substrates produces rolls/reels at the exit of the process. These rolls must then be moved from the forming or primary processing machines to other machines for further processing and then on to storage. Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are often used to automate movement of the rolls/reels between these processing stages and into the warehouse.
