DF Automation & Robotics manufactures autonomous mobile robots and automated guided vehicles for indoor material movement. Zalpha, Zetha, Zamma, Zoei, Zyra and Titan models cover towing, under-load lifting, pallet handling, direct payloads and heavy-duty transport in factories, warehouses and healthcare facilities.
NavWiz provides mapping, route creation, task programming and robot monitoring through a browser interface. DFleet assigns work, coordinates traffic and charging, and connects fleets with warehouse or manufacturing software through APIs. Natural-feature navigation lets trackless units reroute around obstacles, while guided configurations support fixed workflows. The Malaysian company integrates, installs, trains and supports systems internationally.
