How the Q-CAN Program Works
A Step-by-Step Demo
The Q-CAN Designer program
features a Windows®* like
graphical user interface (GUI),
so it’s easy to operate and is
designed to run on a standard
PC. The software is simple to
run and easy to use. Follow
this step-by-step demo to see
how easy it is to design and
layout a Q-CAN AGV system.

Q-CAN Vehicles Matched to Your Application
“Smart” Vehicles Feature Onboard
Navigation and Traffic Control Capabilities
We manufacture a complete
line of smart AGVs designed to
meet your system’s specific
requirements and take advan-
tage of the Q-CAN program’s
unique capabilities. Key to
the Q-CAN system’s simplicity
and flexibility is the control
architecture built into each
Q-CAN vehicle. Once your
system’s path layout and
operation has been created
on screen and the magnetic
navigation markers placed in
the floor, the system file is
downloaded to each AGV
vehicle in the system. Onboard
AGV intelligence enables each
vehicle to independently
provide traffic control, routing,
dispatching and station
functions, without the need for
a central base station or custom
software. Vehicles “talk” to
each other to control traffic
at intersections and avoid
collisions, as they move
through the facility – all
without a RF base station or
overhead antenna system.
Q-CAN AGVs are available in
tow, unit load and fork vehicle
configurations. We offer four
different tow vehicles, with a
variety of wheel and drive
configurations and a maximum An onboard control panel
towing capacity of up to 60,000 enables operators to dispatch

vehicle, with capacities of 2,000
to 4,000 lbs. In addition to
standard vehicles, we provide
custom-designed and heavy

applications. All vehicle types
are available with Q-CAN tech-
nology. Detailed AGV
specifications are available from
your Siemens Dematic
representative.
