According to the monitoring data of the National Post Office, in the short 11 days from November 1 to November 11 of the shopping festival, the logistics enterprises across the country handled 3.965 billion express mails, while on the 11th, 675 million express mails were processed, an increase of 26.16% over the same period last year.
This year, in addition to overcoming adverse factors such as weather change, the express industry also faces major challenges in epidemic prevention and control.
In this logistics war, AGV has become one of the biggest "heroes".
With the development of intelligent logistics, many intelligent technology and equipment in the warehouse logistics system have been fully applied, and among them, the familiar AGV has become the biggest highlight!
The full name of AGV is Automated Guided Vehicle, which means "Automated Guided Vehicle". AGV is a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic, optical or other automatic guidance devices, capable of driving along the specified guidance path, with safety protection and various load transfer functions.
It is reported that the first AGV in the world was born in 1953. It was transformed from a tractive tractor, with a car pocket, and transported goods along the wires arranged in the air in a grocery store. By the late 1950s and early 1960s, there were many types of tractive AGVs used in factories and warehouses.
In China, the first AGV was born in 1975 and developed by the Beijing Institute of Lifting and Transportation Machinery. In 1989, Beijing Post Research and Planning Institute completed China's first automatic guided vehicle with two-way wireless communication.
With the development of China's industrialization, AGV is gradually applied in the industrial field-providing transportation support for flexible production. However, at present, most AGV control systems are divided into ground (upper) control systems and on-board (lower) control systems. The ground control system refers to the fixed equipment of the AGV system, which is mainly responsible for task allocation, vehicle scheduling, route (line) management, traffic management, automatic charging and other functions; After receiving the instructions from the upper system, the on-board control system is responsible for the AGV navigation calculation, guidance implementation, vehicle walking, loading and unloading operation and other functions.
In addition, the standard system of the AGV industry is not perfect, and the product technical standards are few, especially the detection standards of AGV products are still in a state of lack, which requires the relevant institutions and enterprises of the AGV industry to study and develop together.
At present, robot detection and certification has attracted the attention of the government and other relevant institutions in China. The role of robot detection and certification in economic development has become increasingly prominent. It has become an important means to improve product quality, standardize industry development, promote technological innovation, serve social governance, and promote international trade.
As a representative product in the field of robotics, putting forward and developing the detection standards of AGV industry will also be a good medicine to save the bad situation of AGV market. Jointly establishing and improving the AGV testing and certification system is an urgent problem to be solved in the industry.
