Internal logistics — the movement of goods, components, and materials within a facility — is one of the most labour-intensive and error-prone parts of any industrial operation. Missed deliveries to production lines, idle workers waiting for stock, and transport bottlenecks between storage and manufacturing floors are daily realities in factories and distribution centres across Europe.

European manufacturers and logistics operators are under constant pressure to do more with less. Rising labour costs, increasing throughput demands, and tighter quality requirements make it harder to remain competitive using traditional manual material handling. That’s where automated guided vehicles (AGVs) like the Tusk Robots APR come in — not as a futuristic concept, but as a practical, proven solution delivering measurable returns.

As European manufacturers and logistics operators accelerate automation, one question comes up at almost every investment stage: is it safe, and is it compliant? Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) now handle pallet transport, line feeding, and intralogistics in facilities across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, and beyond — but deploying them without understanding the regulatory landscape can lead to costly delays, failed audits, or worse, workplace incidents.

Modern manufacturing floors are under more pressure than ever. Shorter production runs, tighter just-in-time schedules, and growing labour shortages are forcing European industrial companies to rethink how materials, components, and finished goods move within their facilities. The answer for a growing number of manufacturers is the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) — and specifically, the Tuskrobots APR, designed to handle internal logistics reliably, safely, and at scale.

European manufacturers and logistics operators are under increasing pressure to reduce operating costs, improve workplace safety, and meet sustainability targets — all while maintaining high throughput. For decades, the forklift has been the default solution for intralogistics. But as automated guided vehicles (AGVs) become more accessible and proven, many facilities across Europe are making the switch.

Pallet handling remains one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern intralogistics. This article explains why manual processes slow down material flow, what risks they create, and how AGV solutions help make pallet transport more efficient, safer, and more reliable.

Tuskrobots Europe was founded to tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern intralogistics: reliable pallet movement. In this interview, CEO Thomas Kruithof explains why the company was established, what “delivering high-tech technology across the EU” means in practice, and how practical, scalable pallet-handling automation can stabilize material flow across warehouses and production.
