Self-guided Vehicles: an Effective Response to Labor Shortages - Noovelia Inc.

At NOOVELIA, the handling vehicles are completely autonomous. Equipped with sensors, they know where they are thanks to the map they have in memory.

Automation and innovation

NOOVELIA at the heart of industrial transformation

Faced with labor shortages, companies must rethink their production and logistics methods. Automation with self-guided vehicles (AGV/AMR) is emerging as a strategic solution to address this shortage. NOOVELIA, a Quebec company specializing in industrial robotization, designs and manufactures fully autonomous handling vehicles, as demonstrated in a report broadcast on Radio-Canada’s Zone économie.

Autonomous vehicles adapted to business needs

After more than three years of research with the University of Trois-Rivières, NOOVELIA has developed self-guided vehicles capable of adapting to various industrial environments. Equipped with sensors and an intelligent navigation system, these robots always know where they are thanks to a memorized map. They can take several forms, depending on the specific needs of clients:

  • Autonomous conveyors for transporting parts and finished products
  • Lift tables to facilitate handling
  • Self-guided forklifts capable of moving heavy loads without human intervention

A turnkey solution from design to integration

One of NOOVELIA’s major assets lies in its ability to manage the entire process, from design to manufacturing, including programming and integration at the client’s site. 

This approach ensures a high level of customization and optimal integration of vehicles into existing industrial environments

Everything is done on-site, which gives us all the flexibility needed to be able to adapt the solution to the client's needs.

A concrete response to workforce challenges

The use of self-guided vehicles allows companies to optimize their human resources by refocusing their employees on higher value-added tasks. By reducing dependence on labor for repetitive and demanding tasks, these solutions offer a sustainable and high-performance alternative to recruitment challenges in the industrial sector.
