Automated Guided Vehicles
An automated guided vehicle or AGV is a mobile robot used in industrial applications to move materials around a manufacturing facility or a warehouse. From the name itself, we can understand it's a vehicle that runs without a driver. It's a driverless vehicle that increases efficiency, modularity, and flexibility. It also reduces costs related to the task of carrying material from the warehouse to the assembly line. It can reduce the risk of manual labor and thereby increases productivity. It acts under the guidance of an external party. Advantages: - Saves a lot of time - Efficient, reliable, and flexible transport - Easy to maintain - Provide safe, efficient, cost-effective movement of materials - Low Running and Maintenance cost - Increases productivity and growth Application: - Pallet Handling - Roll Handling - Container Handling - Handling of raw materials - Work-in-process movements - Storage and retrieval - Removal of waste to recycling - Tooling delivery - Finished
