1. Introduction
MELKUS Mechatronic GmbH is a German company. It specializes in the design and production of modern internal transport systems. It focuses on AGV robots and mechatronic solutions for industry. The company is based in Saxony and its roots lie in a passion for precision engineering and process automation.
The company focuses on creating modular, compact and flexible mobile robots that can be easily integrated into existing industrial environments. Each mobile solution is designed with efficient intralogistics and optimization of transport processes in mind.
What is MELKUS C4060?
MELKUS C4060 is a modern, compact AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) self-driving robot designed to automate transport processes inside industrial plants, logistics centers and warehouses. The device belongs to the category of intelligent autonomous vehicles that move independently along defined routes or use wireless navigation technologies such as SLAM or optical guidance.
2. Advantages and benefits of implementing MELKUS C4060
Choosing the MELKUS C4060 self-propelled robot is an investment that quickly translates into real savings, increased efficiency and improved safety in internal transport processes. Here are the most important advantages and benefits of implementing this model:
Compact design
Thanks to its small dimensions (40 x 60 cm), MELKUS C4060 works perfectly in tight spaces - between shelves, production lines or in narrow warehouse corridors. It is an ideal solution where every square meter counts.
Versatile applications
The robot can be equipped with various types of superstructures (e.g. roller, lifting), which allows it to be adapted to the specificity of the transported loads - boxes, KLT containers, pallets or production components. This flexible and mobile solution perfectly supports logistics automation.
Automation without interfering with the infrastructure
The MELKUS C4060 does not require expensive modifications to the hall or the installation of tracks or rails. Thanks to SLAM technology or vision guidance, it can move freely and dynamically in a changing environment as an autonomous transport vehicle.
Work safety
Integrated laser scanners (one or two) ensure obstacle detection and automatic stopping of the robot in the event of danger. This guarantees the protection of employees and loads, even in heavily used areas.
Reduction of operating costs
By automating repetitive transport tasks, it is possible to reduce the number of manual interventions, thus reducing labor costs and the risk of human errors. Cost reduction is one of the key benefits for companies implementing the agv system.
Easy integration with IT systems
The MELKUS C4060 can be integrated with production and warehouse management systems (MES, ERP, WMS), which allows for full control and optimization of processes in real time. It also supports remote control.
Flexible fleet management
The ability to combine multiple C4060 robots into a single fleet and manage them from the fleet software level allows the system to be scaled in line with the growing needs of the company. This solution supports effective intralogistics and comprehensive logistics automation.

4. Application of the MELKUS C4060 robot in logistics and production
The MELKUS C4060 self-propelled robot is widely used in various industrial and logistics environments. Its compact design, modularity and the possibility of autonomous navigation make it an excellent solution for companies focusing on modern automation of transport processes.
Material transport in production halls
In production plants - especially in the automotive, electronics and FMCG industries - the MELKUS C4060 works perfectly as an autonomous transporter of components, parts and semi-finished products between workstations. It allows employees to be relieved of repetitive tasks and increases the pace of production without the need to invest in permanent infrastructure.
Warehouse zone service
In contract logistics, e-commerce and fulfillment, the robot can perform point-to-point tasks. It can transport KLT containers, boxes or packages. It moves them between the reception zone, shelves and picking stations. Thanks to the ability to work in continuous mode, it improves processes without downtime and errors.
Integration with production lines
In industries with high repeatability, such as electronics production, pharmaceuticals or food industry, MELKUS C4060 can be integrated with roller lines or transfer tables. It transfers loads automatically, ensuring smooth material flow while maintaining high hygiene and safety standards.
Work in a multi-robot system
In large industrial facilities, such as factories in the automotive sector or 3PL warehouses, it is possible to create a centrally managed fleet of C4060 robots. Such a system allows for dynamic task allocation, route optimization and reduction of downtime thanks to automatic robot work scheduling.
