The transport process automation of industrial plants with industrial forklifts is dealt with. In particular, a forklift has been completely automated based on external and internal sensors and using a PLC (Programmable Logical Controller). A specific hardware architecture has been implemented and tested using a teleoperation and a data monitoring application. Control software architecture includes the low level control algorithms decompounded by three control loops: position control of the steering wheel; speed control of the rear wheels and Cartesian position control of the whole vehicle. A Kalman filter for position estimation has been also implemented and validated. Finally, a teleoperation and a data monitoring application is described as a way of validating the implemented platform.
