Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), also known as an unmanned van, refers to an automatic guided device that travels along a specified path through two or four-wheel differentials. It has safety protection and multiple transfer functions without driver's handling. The car is powered by a battery and can be controlled by a preset program or a central computer. With the development of electromechanical automation and software integration systems for industrial equipment, and the widespread use of flexible manufacturing systems and automated warehouses, AGV applications and technologies have made great strides, so what are the advantages of AGV? The following gives you a detailed introduction to the technical characteristics of AGV: high degree of automation: AGV through process control software, computers, various sensors to achieve automatic behavior.
Prevent product damage - reduce damage to goods due to manual irregular operations;
Improve logistics management – The intelligent control inherent in the AGV system enables the ordering of goods to be more tidy;
Flexible site requirements – AGVs are much narrower than traditional forklifts, and the AGV system allows for path planning to be changed anytime, anywhere;
Reliable scheduling capability - data analysis and remote control through the AGV central control system, enabling AGV to have very optimized scheduling capabilities;
Optimize the process flow – AGV robots connect many processes together as needed, and more intuitively discover the rationality of the site's process arrangement;
Long-distance transportation - AGV system can effectively carry out any site transportation and reduce human resource waste;
Special work environment - AGV robots can work in environments where people are not adapted or harmful;
Safety - The path of the AGV robot's guiding movement is very clear. The AGV will automatically stop when it encounters an obstacle on the driving path, and the artificially driven vehicle may be judged to be biased due to human factors, thus improving safety;
Cost Control - AGV robots can save a lot of labor and quick return on investment (employee's wages and various regulations), while increasing employee turnover for boring mechanical handling.
Improve corporate image and workshop cleanliness, realize unmanned production, flexible use of floor space; AGV trolleys in production workshops can be shuttled in various workshops.
