Automated Guided Vehicles AGV
Advantages of Automated Guided Vehicles AGV
Guided Automation Vehicles (GAVs) provide warehouses with cost savings and heightened efficiency by automating the movement of goods, a task traditionally done by
forklifts and pallet jacks.
AGVs are autonomous vehicles following a predetermined route, equipped with sensors for obstacle detection, enhancing safety and reducing risks associated with manual
vehicle movement.
These robotic solutions are versatile, suitable for manufacturing, material storage, transportation, and aiding distribution picking processes.
AGV Advantages:
- Quicker order processing
- Resilient to labor market changes
- Enhanced safety measures
- Minimized product damage
- Adaptable across sectors
- Expandable for growing businesses
- Hassle-free setup
Automated Guided Vehicles AGV
Modern AGVs can carry substantial loads, up to few tons, along designated routes within premises. Unlike earlier versions that needed floor modifications for guidance,
contemporary models can adapt to floor layouts, understanding permissible areas without altering the physical setup.
Forklift Style AGV’s
This type of AGV operates much like an
autonomous forklift, with various models and
brands offering diverse reach capabilities
and weight limits. They execute scheduled
tasks and follow a set route.
Forklift AGVs excel in settings where
routine, repetitive tasks can be automated,
eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Automated Tow Tractor AGV
Often referred to as a self-guided towing
vehicle, it serves as a pulling machine for
multiple carts, each bearing substantial
weights. This version of AGV boasts the
most significant carrying capability among its
counterparts and can move a much larger
volume than a standard forklift
Under-Pallet Carries AGV
Often referred to as Under-Pallet Carrier
AGV function as mobile platforms capable
of transporting heavy loads, whether
singular or multiple items, across different
warehouse zones. They offer the advantage
of mobility without the spatial constraints
typically associated with fixed conveyors.
