Robocontrol systems offer —push lightly for slow, precise movement; push further for speed. This is invaluable when maneuvering a tow tractor up to a £50 million aircraft. You get the smoothness of a wired control without the trip hazard.
Whether you need an AGV to move a £10 million jet engine, a robotic system to sort shredded carbon fibre, or a retrofit to breathe new life into an old automated guided vehicle, the team at Lasham represents a uniquely British fusion of aerospace heritage and 21st-century robotics. robocontrol lasham

Many older AGVs in UK factories are obsolete. Robocontrol Lasham offers a "brain transplant" service: stripping out old lead-acid batteries and 1990s control boards and installing modern Li-ion batteries, new motors, and a current PLC. This costs 40% of a new AGV. Whether you need an AGV to move a
Traditional cabled pendants get tangled. Cab-mounted controls limit visibility. With Robocontrol’s radio systems, the operator can walk 360° around the load. At Lasham, that means seeing both the aircraft wingtip and the ground support vehicle simultaneously. If a glider or jet starts to drift, the operator hits a single button on the belt.
Recognising the skills gap, Robocontrol Lasham runs a two-day "AGV for Aerospace" course covering safety zones, fleet management software, and emergency manual override procedures. Graduates receive a CPD-accredited certificate.
