ARC5 - Autonomous Robotic Carrier
Like a swarm of precisely coordinated taxis, Servus ARC transport robots operate completely autonomously. Their orientation is not based on road signs, but on high-precision RFID tags – controlled by permanent communication with the main control system.
This “control center” transmits each order specifically to the nearest ARC. At the same time, swarm intelligence ensures efficient, self-organized, dynamic and coordinated transport of materials. Even in moments of rest, there is structure: During breaks ARCs will wait for orders in dedicated parking lots – ready to seamlessly resume movement at the next signal.

ARC5
Two decades of practical experience and a continuous spirit of innovation form the basis for our latest development: The ARC 5.
It defines a completely new performance class, manifested in pure speed and superior dynamics. But these core attributes are just the beginning—the ARC5 takes your entire value chain to a new level of efficiency, flexibility, and confident control.
Load handling devices
Confidence in application, unlimited possibilities in detail: The Servus ARC5 masters every transport task thanks to its intelligent, integrated load handling devices, each of which is a highly specialized solution designed for the fully automatic, material-friendly handling of specific goods.
Whether boxes, trays, bulk goods, or highly sensitive, customer-specific workpieces—we guarantee handling that combines maximum efficiency and speed with absolute precision.
Transports a wide variety of goods weighing up to 50 kg
cardboard boxes
Trays
workpieces
Always charged, always ready, always efficient
Thanks to an intelligent charging concept, the ARC5 does not require additional breaks to recharge. It uses process-related stops—such as material transfers or waiting times at the lift—to automatically recharge itself. Even in 24/7 operation, there is no need for scheduled charging.
This unique energy management system combines the best of both worlds: a supercapacitor charges in a flash and supplies the robot with energy for travel while simultaneously feeding a lithium-ion battery.
The world's most energy-efficient transport robot
With state-of-the-art technology and a sophisticated design, the ARC5 sets new standards in sustainability. By using the ARC5, you are making a significant contribution to protecting the environment and conserving valuable resources.

FAQ
It transports everything up to 50 kg and 850 x 600 mm.
The ARC5 can transport boxes, trays, cartons, workpiece carriers, bulk goods, and PCB racks, among other items.
Energy charging takes place during operation without downtime. The system is highly efficient and low-maintenance thanks to a combination of supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries.
The ARC5 reaches a top speed of up to 5 m/s and accelerates at up to 1.5 m/².
Yes, the ARC5 is certified for cleanroom class 6 according to ISO 14644-1.
The ARC5 requires less than 150 W during operation. With a payload ratio of almost 1:1, it is the most energy-efficient transport robot on the market.
The ARC5 is designed so that all wear parts, such as charging contacts, charging unit, or guide rollers, can be replaced in no time.
The software displays the position of your ARCs in the system, the speed at which they are moving, their battery charge status, the cargo they are transporting, and much more in real time.
Predictive maintenance is based on the continuous collection and analysis of real-time and machine data such as speed, battery status, sensor data, and distances traveled. This allows maintenance to be planned in advance in order to optimize systems and avoid downtime.
