Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) Solutions for Murrah

Our CTO (Luke Cole) previously worked for Hemisphere GPS (orginally called BEELINE, and now bought out by AgJunction) as a "Robotics Engineer" implementing auto-guidance solutions for various quadbikes and agriculture tractors that was used by 100's of vehicles around the world.

For 10 years, starting as a teenager in 1998 - Luke Cole has also worked for leading research institutes and companies such as NICTA (now called CSIRO Data61), CSIRO, Seeing Machines and ANU Robotics System Lab (lead by Alex Zelinsky, who received a rare prestigious AO award in 2017 and was Defence Scientist of Australia from 2012 for 6 years). Luke's work included various autonomous mobile robot projects, involving computer vision, and even a self-driving car early 2000's. Back then OpenCV and ROS didn't exist, so we did a "roll-your-own" called VisLib and DROS comprised of 364,578 lines of code.

Lance Cole has also worked at NICTA and has a background of various hardware development, such as working for a contract company to the US millary (EOS), building the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS).

We have a combined 50 years of extensive experience with Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV's). Including cars, tractors, quadbikes and other custom ground-based vehicles.

COLETEK's team all has a background in vehicle automation, which have built a wide range of skills and technologies such as:

At COLETEK, we empower businesses in Murrah and across the South Coast of New South Wales with innovative Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) Solutions. Our team of experts has extensive experience designing, developing, and deploying cutting-edge AGV systems tailored to diverse industrial environments.

Our comprehensive approach begins with thorough requirements capture and analysis. We collaborate closely with clients to understand their unique operational challenges and goals. This allows us to identify potential areas for improvement through the deployment of AGVs. Our engineers then develop detailed engineering trade-offs and integration plans, ensuring seamless implementation and optimal performance.

We understand the importance of testing and iteration during the development process. Our in-house prototyping lab enables us to rapidly refine prototypes, address technical challenges, and optimize performance before deployment. We also offer production-readiness planning and handover services to ensure a smooth transition from development to full operational deployment.

Remote collaboration and Australia-wide support are integral to our approach. Our team can seamlessly collaborate with clients across regional and metropolitan areas, conducting periodic design reviews and providing ongoing support throughout the project lifecycle.

Whether you require assistance with proof-of-concept work, prototype refinement, design reviews, or technical feasibility assessments, COLETEK is your trusted partner in automated guided vehicle solutions.
