The Global AGV L12 at Work
Watch the L12 navigate a live production environment — autonomous pallet movement with no forklift operator required.
Global AGV delivers automated pallet movement for palletizing cell applications without the overhead of fleet management software. Map it, program it, run it — the same way you already think about robot integration.
Peter Martinez holds hands-on training credentials on Global AGV systems. The programming model — mapping an environment, defining travel points, configuring pick and drop actions — is directly familiar from FANUC programming work. That translates into faster deployment, lower integration labor, and a shorter learning curve on your first project.
Most AGV vendors sell through distributors who have never commissioned a system themselves. Kosoku has trained on this platform and will manage the deployment from first site survey through go-live.
Trained • Certified • Deployment-ReadyNot every pallet movement problem needs a fleet management platform. Global AGV is purpose-built for the applications where simplicity is the right engineering answer.
Global AGV deployment follows a straightforward commissioning process. No fleet management server to stand up, no IT project to scope, no enterprise software to license.
We walk your facility, identify the pallet flow path, confirm clearances, floor condition, and travel surface. Route design is completed before any equipment arrives on-site.
The AGV maps the travel environment and learns its path. Pick points, drop points, and actions are programmed directly on the unit — no external server, no software license required.
We commission the unit under production conditions, confirm cycle times, and train your operators on daily operation and recovery procedures. Go-live is managed on-site.
The L12 is designed for US, UK, and SEA pallet handling and is the model Kosoku deploys across the U.S. Adjustable free forks accommodate standard 48"×40" GMA pallets out of the box.
US, UK & SEA Pallet Handling
The L12's adjustable free forks handle the 48"×40" GMA pallets that dominate U.S. food and CPG manufacturing without modification. Capacity at 2,645 lb covers virtually every full pallet in a standard palletizing application.
Global AGV's claim that the L12 can be operational in 2–3 days from delivery is aggressive — but it reflects the real simplicity of the commissioning process. There is no fleet management server to configure, no IT integration to scope, and no enterprise software to license. Map the environment, define the points, and the unit runs.
For a FANUC palletizing cell where the robot builds a pallet every 90–120 seconds, one L12 handles continuous pallet removal without forklift intervention — freeing your lift operators for higher-value tasks and eliminating the scheduling dependency between the palletizing cell and the lift truck schedule.
Note on software: The L12 operates standalone with no fleet management platform required. A software subscription is available for monitoring and analytics — confirm current pricing per site vs. per unit with your sales rep before budgeting.

For the right application, Global AGV delivers faster ROI with lower deployment complexity than fleet-managed AMR systems.
Standalone operation means no fleet management server, no IT infrastructure project, and no enterprise software contract. The AGV manages itself.
Map the environment, define the path, program the actions. If you've programmed a robot, you understand the logic. Integration with FANUC palletizing cells is a natural extension.
Without a fleet management platform to deploy and configure, commissioning timelines compress significantly. Expect weeks from order to go-live, not months.
Runs all day, every day, without breaks. For a palletizing cell that runs two or three shifts, the AGV works every shift — consistent cycle time, no fatigue, no absenteeism.
Replacing one or two forklift operators at a palletizing cell with a single AGV delivers payback periods as short as one year in labor-cost-driven applications.
No major facility modifications required. Global AGV works in existing floor layouts with standard clearances — typically no infrastructure changes needed beyond floor marking.
Use this comparison to identify which automation tier matches your application. Both are available from Kosoku — one integrator for the full range.
| Factor | Global AGV | AMR Fleet (Track 2) |
|---|---|---|
| Typical fleet size | 1–3 units | 5–20 units |
| Routing type | Fixed, pre-programmed routes | Dynamic, real-time routing |
| Fleet management software | Not required — standalone operation | Required — FMS platform included |
| IT infrastructure | None required | Server or cloud FMS required |
| Best application | Palletizing cell, end-of-line staging, simple loops | Plant-wide logistics, multi-zone, line-feeding |
| Deployment timeline | Weeks | Months |
| Typical project value | $40K–$120K | $50K–$300K |
| Sales cycle | 4–8 weeks | 2–6 months |
Kosoku Automation deploys Global AGV standalone pallet AGV systems for 1–3 unit applications nationwide — primarily palletizing cell pallet movement, end-of-line staging, and simple receiving-to-storage routes. Unlike fleet-managed AMR systems, Global AGV units operate without fleet management software, a server, or enterprise IT infrastructure. Peter Martinez holds training credentials on the Global AGV platform, and the programming model is directly compatible with FANUC robot integration experience. For 5–20 unit applications requiring dynamic routing and fleet management, Kosoku's Track 2 AMR logistics service is the appropriate solution. Both offerings are available from the same integrator — one contact, one service relationship, full range of mobile automation.
