Mats Herrstromer is a Mechanical Engineer with over 48 years of extensive experience in Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), I possess comprehensive expertise spanning engineering, project management, implementation, and corporate leadership. My professional journey began in 1976 in Sweden with NDC (now Kollmorgen) and Carrago-Tellus, before relocating to the United States in 1983 to work with Conco-Tellus in Illinois and NDC Automation in North Carolina. In 1988, I founded AGV Products, Inc. in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving as President and Owner for twenty years with a team exceeding fifty employees. The company was acquired by HK Systems (now Dematic) in 2008. Subsequently, I established AGV Solutions in 2014, which was rebranded as AGVE Inc. in 2016. In 2018, AGVE was acquired by Murata Machinery (Japan), where I continued as President of the US AGV Operations until 2022. Currently, I operate AGV Experts, LLC., providing independent consulting and expert witness services in AGV Systems since 2022. I hold a Business Degree from Harvard Business School (OPM-27, 1999). I served as Chairman of the AGVS Product Section of the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) from 2003 to 2004. Presently, I am a member of the Board of Advisors for the School of Engineering at UNC Charlotte. With over three decades of involvement in AGV safety, I currently serve as Chairman of ANSI/ITSDF B56.5 and as a member of ANSI/ITSDF B56 standards committees. I hold dual citizenship in the United States and Sweden. Specializations include Automated Guided Vehicle Systems (AGVS) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), covering all phases from concept development to engineering, design, manufacturing, and implementation.
