With the improvement of labor costs, especially the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, more and more enterprises have begun to carry out automation upgrades, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. Industrial Vehicle Intelligence (AGV) has become the general direction of the development of new industries in the future. AGV is gradually occupying the traditional forklift market, especially the forward-moving forklift AGV, which fulfills the customer's humanization and diversification requirements with high efficiency and low cost, and plays an important role in internal logistics.
China's AGV sales statistics analysis: China's AGV sales in 2018 has reached 29,600 units, compared with 135,000 units in 2017, an increase of 119%, 2018 China's AGV market size reached 4.25 billion yuan, AGV robot related products market newer than 2017 The year achieved a growth of 42.5%.
This explosive growth is mainly due to the outbreak of China's logistics industry, and the trend of logistics automation is driving the accelerated growth of China's AGV robots. Of course, the reason why AGV can break out is not only because of the good development of logistics automation, but more importantly, the high efficiency and flexibility brought by AGV. In addition, AGV robots replace manual work, reducing labor costs and avoiding safety hazards at work.
Q1: Why is the growth of AGV robots so fast?
With the advancement of modern high-tech such as computers, the performance and functions of AGV have been significantly improved, such as more advanced computer control systems, more transportation, shorter transfer times, and higher reliability of cars and controllers. Improvements in these technologies have led to an increase in the use of AGV scenarios and requirements.
Today, AGV robots are seamlessly integrated with MES, ERP, WCS, etc., to achieve full flexibility, highly automated modern logistics, to enhance the modularization, intelligence and simplification of enterprise management, and to upgrade factory automation to a new level.
Q2: Are the specifications of the AGV truck fixed?
Generally, the specifications of AGV trucks produced by small manufacturers are relatively fixed and the number of specifications is relatively small. However, the truck products produced by medium and large AGV truck manufacturers can be customized according to customer needs, although the price of customized cars is high but the later use is more. Strong. Therefore, the specifications of the AGV truck are not fixed, and can be modified and customized both in appearance and intrinsic.
Q3: The bigger the tonnage of the AGV truck, the better?
This kind of statement has a certain one-sidedness, but it does make sense. Because the weight of the AGV truck is smaller, the possibility of rollover is smaller, but the weight is not the greater the quality. If the weight is too large, it will be out of tune with the power system. Not only will it increase the cost of power but it will also affect the life of the power system. Therefore, when you choose, you should choose the load of the car according to your needs, not just pursuing large tonnage.
Q4: Is there a limit to the climbing of the truck?
AGV truck manufacturers answer: no matter what kind of high-precision AGV trucks have certain restrictions when climbing, such as the height limit of the car's climbing degree, in principle, it is not allowed to climb steep slopes to prevent danger. Because the volume and weight of the objects transported by the AGV truck are large, the risk is increased if the slope is large, so in principle, it must be operated within the specified slope of the truck.
Q5: What do you need to pay attention to when using AGV?
First, set up the running route in advance
The AGV truck is actually a smart device that integrates batteries, electromagnetic navigation devices and computer control systems. It is widely used in the unmanned handling of factory lines in all areas of modern society. Since the internal environment of different enterprises is not completely the same, the route conditions that the AGV truck will face after it is put into operation will not be exactly the same. As a company that purchases the AGV truck, it must be set in advance when using this equipment. The equipment runs the route to avoid unnecessary collision of the truck due to improper setting of the running route and cause malfunction.
Second, ensure that the supporting security system is free of abnormalities
Since the AGV truck does not need to be handled by manual operation during the actual use, the AGV truck can continuously and stably provide the logistics handling service for the factory enterprise under the condition that the computer control system is normally transported. Therefore, when using the AGV truck, the relevant control personnel must ensure that the safety system associated with the equipment has an abnormal condition. Only in this way can the use value of the AGV truck be fully utilized under the premise of ensuring the safety of the vehicle and the vehicle.
