Question 1

What components does the solution consist of?

Accepted Answer

The FM-X iGo solution consists of the automated reach truck FM-X iGo as a series-produced vehicle for automated pallet transport, integrated vehicle and navigation software with laser-based navigation, an iGo system controller for order and traffic coordination, a comprehensive safety concept with sensor technology and emergency stop functions, standardized IT interfaces including VDA 5050 readiness, the charging and energy infrastructure with lithium-ion battery, as well as services for project planning, commissioning, iGo easy control and service.

Question 2

How does the solution work in detail?

Accepted Answer

The FM-X iGo solution operates as a fully automated material flow system. The automated reach truck independently handles transport, storage and retrieval tasks by receiving transport orders via the fleet controller or a warehouse management system. The vehicle orients itself within its environment using laser-based navigation and moves freely without any floor-mounted guidance infrastructure. Pallets are picked up and deposited at defined transfer points on the floor, in racking or at conveyor systems. All driving, lifting and load movements are fully automated and monitored by integrated safety laser scanners and protective functions. Power is supplied via a lithium-ion battery. When required, the FM-X iGo autonomously navigates to defined charging stations and charges via contact points. Thanks to standardized interfaces and VDA 5050 readiness, the solution can be integrated into existing warehouse and IT structures both as a single vehicle and as part of a multi-vehicle fleet.

Question 3

What are the unique selling points of this solution?

Accepted Answer

The unique selling points of the FM-X iGo solution lie in the combination of a series product, high integration capability and a consistent design for automated operation. The FM-X iGo is STILL's first series-produced automated reach truck. This means users benefit from high reliability, short project lead times and excellent scalability. A key feature is the free laser-based navigation, which enables flexible layout changes and easy adjustments during ongoing operation. The solution covers a broad load capacity range from 1,070 to 2,330 kg, making it suitable for a wide variety of pallet applications in high-bay racking. As part of the STILL portfolio, the FM-X iGo is VDA 5050-ready, can be deployed standalone or in multi-vehicle operation, and can be standardized integrated into existing IT and material flow systems. The solution's production maturity and innovative capability have also been confirmed by its nomination as a finalist for the IFOY AWARD.

Question 4

What does your ideal customer look like?

Accepted Answer

The ideal customer for the FM-X iGo is a medium-sized or large company operating a professional warehouse or production logistics environment that needs to move palletized goods in high-bay racking efficiently and reliably. Typically, the customer comes from industries such as manufacturing, automotive, retail, e-commerce, food, pharmaceuticals or logistics. The ideal use case involves recurring, standardized transport and storage processes where high throughput, process stability and availability are critical. The customer either already operates a warehouse or material flow system or is planning to implement one, and places value on standardized interfaces and future-proofing (e.g. VDA 5050 readiness). A further key driver is the desire to address the shortage of skilled workers, reduce ergonomic strain and expand automation incrementally. The ideal customer is not looking for a custom special solution, but for a series-ready, scalable automation system that can be deployed both as a standalone vehicle and as part of a multi-vehicle fleet, fitting seamlessly into their long-term intralogistics strategy.
