AGV

Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) are pioneering solutions in industrial automation for the efficient transportation of goods and materials. These autonomous vehicles are equipped with sensors and control systems that enable them to plan routes, detect obstacles and transport materials without human intervention.

AGVs have a wide range of applications in factories, warehouses and logistics centers. They can transport different loads, from pallets and containers to individual products. The flexibility of the programming allows AGVs to be used in different environments and to react quickly to changing requirements.

AGVs are often navigated using various methods, including magnetic strips, laser guidance, optical sensors or camera-based systems. These technologies enable precise positioning and safe navigation in the working environment.

The use of AGVs leads to an increase in productivity, as they can work around the clock and do not require breaks. They also help to improve occupational safety as they relieve human workers in hazardous environments or during repetitive tasks.

Modern AGVs can be integrated into existing production and warehouse infrastructures. They can be coordinated via a central control unit to optimize the material flow and avoid bottlenecks. The connection to higher-level control systems enables holistic control of the entire intralogistics system.

Overall, AGVs offer a cost-efficient solution for the automation of internal transport processes. The continuous further development of this technology promises even more powerful and versatile automated guided vehicles in industrial automation in the future.
