What is an AGV?

An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot used to transport materials or goods in a variety of industrial settings. AGVs are commonly employed in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers for tasks such as material handling, order picking, and inventory management. These vehicles operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, following predefined paths or routes within a facility.

We are well-versed in the challenges of such projects and have extensive experience working with leading AGV manufacturers. Our expertise allows us to seamlessly integrate AGVs and other equipment with software systems, enabling us to perfectly adapt to clients' specific needs.

Customized AGV

AGV Common Use Cases:

Warehouses: AGVs are used to transport goods from receiving areas to storage or to move items within the warehouse for order picking.
Manufacturing: In factories, AGVs move raw materials or finished products between different production stages.
Distribution Centers: AGVs help in automating the movement of products for sorting, packing, and shipping.
Hospitals: AGVs are used to deliver medication, clean linen, or waste, reducing the need for human labor.

AGV Key Components:

Navigation System: AGV relies on a variety of navigation technologies such as lasers, magnetic strips, cameras, or GPS to determine its position and path.

Drive System: The drive system includes wheels or tracks powered by electric motors to enable movement and control.

Battery/Power Source: AGVs are typically powered by rechargeable batteries, which allow them to operate for extended periods.

Sensors: Various sensors (e.g., LIDAR, ultrasonic, infrared) are used for obstacle detection and collision avoidance to ensure safe operation.

Controller: The controller manages the AGV’s operations, including route planning, task execution, and interaction with other systems in the facility.
