AGV: A sharp tool to lead the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry


AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), i.e. Automated Guided Vehicle, is a bright pearl in the field of modern logistics and production automation. As a highly intelligent transportation tool, AGV is fully managed by advanced computer system and integrated with electromagnetic, laser, vision and other automatic guiding technologies, which is capable of traveling accurately along the preset guiding paths without the need of laying professional tracks. It not only has a complete safety protection mechanism, but also equipped with a variety of transfer functions, can autonomously and efficiently perform all kinds of complex handling operations, especially suitable for those intricate transportation routes, the flexibility of the high requirements of the industrial production environment.


In terms of product types, AGVs show a high degree of diversity and adaptability. According to the different working methods, AGV can be roughly divided into handling type, assembly type, traction type, forklift type and composite type and other categories. Handling-type AGV is good at quickly transferring goods between warehouses and production lines; assembly-type AGV focuses on accurately docking the various assembly links on the production line; tractor-type AGV is able to pull a trailer or trailer, realizing long-distance, high-volume material transportation; forklift-type AGV integrates the functions of a forklift, which is able to easily cope with loading, unloading and transporting heavy goods; and composite AGV combines the above functions and has higher flexibility and comprehensiveness. It has higher flexibility and comprehensive performance.



In terms of navigation technology, AGVs also show a wealth of options and innovation. Electromagnetic navigation (including magnetic peg and magnetic stripe navigation) is popular because of its low cost and mature technology; 2D code navigation realizes accurate positioning by recognizing the 2D code information on the ground; laser navigation utilizes the principle of laser ranging, which is able to build high-precision environment maps and realize autonomous navigation in complex environments; visual navigation captures images of the surroundings with a camera, and then utilizes image processing algorithms to carry out path Visual navigation captures images of the surrounding environment through the camera, and uses image processing algorithms for path planning and obstacle avoidance; and inertial navigation relies on gyroscopes, accelerometers and other sensors to maintain a stable driving direction without external signal interference. These diversified navigation methods enable AGVs to flexibly adapt to a variety of complex and changing application scenarios to meet the diverse needs of different industries for material handling and automated process control.




In summary, AGV is gradually becoming an indispensable and important tool in modern industrial production and logistics management due to its excellent level of intelligence, high degree of flexibility and wide range of application scenarios. With the continuous progress of technology and application deepening, AGV will play a more important role in promoting the intelligent transformation of manufacturing industry and industrial upgrading.
