    The document discusses automated guided vehicles (AGVs) which are portable robots that use floor markings, vision, or other sensors to navigate warehouses and factories automatically carrying raw materials and finished products. AGVs feature dynamic operation, robust designs, CAN bus communications between vehicles, and self-charging abilities. They are used for a variety of applications like pallet transport and unit loading and help reduce costs and increase flexibility over manual material handling.

    AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLES

    AGV
    Introduction
    • AGV is a portable robot that follows markers
    or wires in the floor, or uses vision, magnets,
    or lasers for navigation.
    • AGVs are used to carry the raw materials and
    finished products.
    • Contains fork lift to lift the objects.
    • The first ever AGV was started in 1950s.
    AGVs Features
    • Variety of dynamic operation
    • Robust deign
    • CAN bus system communications
    • Separate speed control for each vehicle
    • Self charging and low energy consumption
    System Base
    1. 4 drive units and 4
    steering axels.
    2. 2 motors for each
    unit and 1 controller
    for each motor
    3. Controller is further
    connected to host
    computer.
    cont…
    • 1. Each axel is rotated around
    its origin due to the torque
    • between motors.

    Types of AGvs
    • Driveless trains
    • AGVs pallet trucks
    • Unit load carriers.
    Driveless trains
    - Consists of towing vehicle
    that pulls one or more trailer.
    -Maximum 10 trailers can be
    Attached
    -Towing capacity is 27000 kg
    or 27 tons.
    AGV Pallet trucks
    • Used to move palletized
    load.
    • Handeled by mechanically
    or automatically.
    • Less load carrying capacity.
    • Occupies less space and less
    expensive.
    Unit load carriers
    • Used to move unit loads
    on required destination.
    • Automatic loading and
    unloading of pallets by
    rollers.
    • Load capacity is about
    250 kg
    • Designed to move small loads.
    Types of navigations
    • Wired navigations
    • Guide type navigation
    • Laser type navigation
    Advantages…
    • Reduces labour cost.
    • Highly flexible
    • Less time consuming
    • Reduces production and ware house cost
    • Self charging without human interference.
