PRODUCT DETAILS

n Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot used in industrial environments to transport heavy materials and goods across a facility without a human onboard or a fixed mechanical pilot. AGVs are the workhorses of the modern "smart factory," providing a flexible, safe, and efficient alternative to manual forklifts and permanent conveyor systems.

Navigation Technologies

Unlike older systems that required physical rails, modern AGVs use several sophisticated methods to "see" their environment:

Laser SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping): Uses LiDAR to build a digital map of the warehouse, allowing the robot to navigate without any external markers.

Magnetic Tape/Wire: The robot follows a physical track laid on the floor, ideal for simple, repetitive loops.

QR Code/Vision: The AGV uses cameras to scan codes placed on the floor to verify its exact coordinates.

Core Benefits

24/7 Productivity: AGVs do not require breaks or shift changes, maintaining a consistent flow of materials around the clock.

Enhanced Safety: Equipped with laser bumpers, ultrasonic sensors, and emergency stop buttons, AGVs detect obstacles and pedestrians instantly, significantly reducing warehouse accidents.

Scalability: If production volume increases, businesses can simply add another AGV to the fleet rather than redesigning the entire logistics layout.

Primary Applications

AGVs are commonly used for raw material delivery to production lines, pallet handling in finished goods warehouses, and "Goods-to-Person" picking in e-commerce fulfillment centers. They can be customized with various "tops," such as roller conveyors, scissor lifts, or robotic arms, to suit specific industrial tasks.

By integrating with a Warehouse Control System (WCS), AGVs transform into an intelligent fleet that optimizes traffic flow and ensures that the right material arrives at the right station at exactly the right time.
