AGV, Automated Guided Vehicle. Refers to a transport vehicle equipped with an automatic guidance device such as electromagnetic or optical, which can travel along a prescribed guidance path, and has safety protection and various transfer functions. AGV trolley is the key equipment of modern logistics system. It is battery-powered, equipped with a non-contact guidance device, and an autonomous addressing system. Except for some official definitions, do you really understand how AGV works?
AGV can locate where it is, clearly know the destination it wants to reach, and reach the destination quickly through a certain path. How does this series of steps AGV do? Let's explore the operating mechanism of AGV.
The AGV intelligent logistics system consists of two parts, the AGV vehicle and the AGV system. The AGV system is further subdivided into the upper-level dispatching system, the ground control system, and the vehicle control system. The control of the AGV vehicle is completed through the cooperation between the logistics higher-level dispatch system, the AGV ground control system, and the AGV vehicle control system.
The operation mechanism between AGV systems can be illustrated by a simple example:
There is such a taxi company. Every taxi in the company is equipped with GPS. In the company monitoring center, the location and driving route of each taxi can be known. The driver can report the passenger carrying situation of the vehicle to the company in time through wireless communication.
When a customer needs to go out by taxi, he can call the company's customer service center and tell him his current location and destination. The customer's transfer needs can be understood as the requirements of the logistics dispatch system. The customer service center of a taxi company can be understood as an AGV ground control system.
