There is a growing interest in the use of Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in the Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) in order to avoid installing fixed structures that complicate and reduce the flexibility to future changes. In this paper a highly flexible and hybrid operated WCS, developed using the Robotics Integrated Development Environment (RIDE), is presented. The prototype is a forklift with cognitive capabilities that can be operated manually or autonomously and it is now being tested in a warehouse located in the Parque Tecnológico Logístico (PTL) of Vigo. The main advantages and drawbacks on this kind of implementation are also discussed in the paper.
