AGV vehicle Introduction
AGV vehicle is a kind of mobile robot which can follow magnetic tape on the floor by using vision or magnet for navigation. Automatic guided carts is mostly applied in the filed of warehouse storage, food or beverage, plastic, pharmaceutical, rubber industry, etc. It is used to convey material inside the warehouse or workshop.

Working Principle of AGV vehicle
The navigation is completed by means of the reflective tape installed on fixed place or device. There is a laser navigation scanner on the rotating turret. The safety sensor is used to transmit and receive laser. The angle or distance to any reflector which is in line of sight or in range is automatically calculated. This parameter is compared with the map of the reflector layout stored in AGV’ memory. It allows the navigation system to triangulate the AGV’ current position, which is compared with the programmed path shown on the reflector layout map. The frequent steering is used to keep AGV on the programmed track and navigate to the desired target.
Applications of AGV vehicle
AGV vehicle Applied in Warehousing
Automated guided vehicle logically moves load inside the warehouse and prepare them for shipping/loading or receiving. It can also move the load from the induction conveyor to logical storage station. This function is achieved by means of our own warehouse software IKV industry 4.0 card.
AGV vehicle Applied in Pharmaceutical Industry
Automated guided vehicle supports process validation and current good manufacturing practice, it can track all the movement based on its reflector layout map. Therefore, laser guided vehicle proves to be the best method for moving material in the pharmaceutical plant.
AGV vehicle Applied in Automotive Industry
Automated guided vehicle application in automotive industry mainly covers raw material automated transportation, automated work in movement during the production and ready-made cargo delivery. Thus the whole manufacturing environment can achieve forklift-free style.
