The full name of AGV is Automated Guided Vehicle, also known as AGV car. It refers to a transport vehicle equipped with automatic navigation devices such as electromagnetic or optical, capable of driving along a defined navigation path, with safety protection and various transfer functions.
The combination of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things has become a major trend in the industry, and the AGV car is a product of these two technologies. It uses the battery as the power source, through computer control can achieve unmanned handling, with robots to replace manpower, save labor and time.
The degree of automation of AGV is very high, and it can be fully controlled using computers, electronic control equipment, magnetic induction sensors, laser reflectors and other equipment. The controller only needs to issue instructions on the computer to realize the transportation work. In addition, the walking path and speed of the AGV trolley can be controlled, as well as until it stops. Compared with the traditional freight mode, AGV can realize the whole process monitoring of the vehicle, greatly improve safety issues, avoid accidents, and greatly improve reliability.
The AGV is also excellent in terms of aesthetics, and because of its small size, it can be used to travel from workshop to workshop. And it has a charging function, which ensures that the AGV trolley can operate normally for 24 hours, which greatly promotes the power of work. When the power of the AGV trolley is about to run out, it will send a request charging command to the system, and automatically charge after the system accepts the allow signal. The battery life of AGV trolley is very long, generally more than 2 years, and the charging speed is also fast, usually after charging for 15 minutes, it can work for four hours.
With the development and advancement of technology, AGV trolley has gradually become popular, and the price and cost of a single machine have decreased, which has provided help for the digital and intelligent transformation of many small and medium-sized enterprises.
