AGV unmanned Cart realizes automatic transportation according to the starting point and destination of goods, and can automatically avoid obstacles and drive to the destination to realize automatic material transportation. AGV has good flexibility, high degree of automation, and high level of intelligence. Its driving path can be flexibly changed according to storage space requirements, production process, and other changes.
The Automated guided vehicle system, which is composed of AGV car automatic guidance system, automatic loading and unloading system, communication system, safety system and management system, has become the mainstream of logistics transportation in FMS and automated storage system. AGVs are mainly used in the conveying process, facilitating automated management, improving system flexibility and flexibility, and improving production efficiency. Starting from the basic features of the AGV automatic handling system, Miklimei will take everyone to explore the technical characteristics and advantages of the AGV automatic handling system.
1、 Technical characteristics of AGV automatic handling system:
(1) AGV is powered by batteries and can achieve unmanned transportation operations. The operating path and destination can be controlled by management programs, with strong mobility. Moreover, the route changes of certain guidance methods are very convenient and flexible, with low installation costs. With technological progress, in recent years, AGV CPS non-contact power supply systems have emerged, which do not require batteries but are only suitable for magnetic rail mode.
(2) AGV station has high recognition ability and positioning accuracy, and has the ability to coordinate work with various processing equipment. With the support of the communication system and the scheduling of the management system, flexible control of logistics can be achieved.
(3) The loading platform of AGV guidance vehicle can adopt different installation structures and loading and unloading methods, which can meet the needs of different product transportation. Therefore, the logistics system has strong adaptability. Hospital stainless steel carts can be designed and manufactured for various transmission purposes, and these carts will be carried by an automatic guiding platform and run along the prescribed path.
(4) AG can be equipped with various sound and light alarm systems, which can automatically stop before colliding with obstacles through the vehicle obstacle detection system. When it is driving in line or crossing in a certain area, it has the self-control ability to avoid mutual collision, and there is no human error. Therefore, AGVS is safer than other material handling systems.
(5) Compared with other commonly used equipment in material transportation, the AGV's activity area does not require the laying of fixed devices such as tracks and support frames, and is not limited by the site, roads, and space. The logistics system composed of AGVs is not permanent, and compared to traditional material transportation systems that are fixed in space and difficult to change, the setting of this logistics system is flexible.
(6) The advantage of AGV transmission system lies in its ability to transport items weighing over 400KG. The AGV load capacity can be designed according to needs, which is very flexible. It is common in the industrial field that the AGV load is less than 4 tons, but it can also see the Automated guided vehicle that can cut off 100 tons.
2、 Advantages of AGV automatic handling system:
(1) The AGV automatic handling system systematizes logistics handling and can be connected to production management to optimize logistics handling efficiency.
(2) The AGV automatic handling system has a high degree of automation and can operate unmanned at night 24 hours a day, reducing manual operations and avoiding losses caused by human negligence.
(3) For long-distance, lightweight, and medium-sized workpieces, specialized traditional conveying equipment requires too much investment and occupies a lot of space, which makes it inconvenient for workers to work. The AGV automatic transportation system can achieve lower costs to complete the above tasks.
(4) The AGV automatic handling system optimizes the process flow, allowing personalized customized production to change from discrete processing to a "flow" of production.
(5) Once the number of tools or work stations increases, the AGV automatic handling system is easier to expand compared to other systems, and can be adjusted to the optimal logistics handling process at any time, which helps with optimal procurement, inventory control, and job scheduling. Moreover, in harsh work areas, work efficiency not only remains unchanged, but also remains stable.
(6) Reduce management difficulties: Forklift or trailer drivers usually have high labor intensity, low income, and a high turnover rate, which brings great difficulty to enterprise management. The AGV automatic handling system perfectly solves the above problems. And the AGV automatic handling system can monitor the on-site situation in a timely manner through computers, record and count the production of various varieties, and increase management efficiency.
