AGV Digital Trolley for automation equipment

AGV concept

AGV is the abbreviation of (automatedguided Vehicle), meaning "automatic guided transporter", refers to the equipment has electromagnetic or optical and other automatic guidance device, it can travel along the specified guidance path, with security and various transfer functions of the transport vehicle.

AGV is one of the key equipment in modern industrial automation logistics system, it is battery-powered, equipped with automatic navigation devices such as electromagnetic or optical, can be automatically addressed independently, and through the computer system control, complete unmanned driving and operation of equipment. AGV conveying route has the advantages of simple construction, flexible path, no occupying space, good mobility and flexibility.

Development trend of AGV

AGV not only can greatly save the human cost of enterprises, but also can make employees out of dangerous positions, engaged in more humane work, to improve production efficiency, reduce the quality, improve the level of production management of enterprises significant role, therefore, in recent years, the automatic guidance system will usher in a more challenging era. In the future, the performance of AGV system will be improved and perfected in the aspects of intelligence, informatization, flexibility, agility, energy saving and greening, and play more important role in the construction of industrial modernization.

AGV System composition

The AGV system consists of a control station, a communication system, a ground navigation system, a charging system, an AGV and a ground moving device. The main control computer is responsible for the contact and management of AGV system and external system, and it releases AGV's conveying task to the control station according to the material demand condition of the field. After the AGV battery capacity drops to a predetermined value, the charging system automatically charges the AGV. The ground moving equipment generally uses the roller conveyer, the chain conveyer and so on automatically moves the material from the automatic warehouse or the work site to the AGV, conversely may also move the material from the AGV to carry down and transports to the destination. AGV, charging system, ground moving equipment, etc. can be arranged according to the actual needs and the work site.

AGV Guidance Mode

The function of AGV navigation system is to ensure the AGV trolley to walk along the correct path and to ensure the precision of walking. The guidance mode of AGV is divided into three kinds: one is the way of fixed route, including the electromagnetic guidance mode, the optical control band guidance mode, the laser guidance mode and the ultrasonic guidance mode, etc. the second is the way of semi-fixed route, including the marking tracking mode and the magnetic guidance mode; Three is no Route way, Including the ground Help guidance mode, the map of the route command guidance and search the map on the shortest path guidance method.

AGV Application Scenario

Warehousing-31 Heavy industry

In the middle of the 31 Heavy Industry assembly workshop, there are two solid warehouses, which are nearly 10 meters high, standing on both sides of the production line. The two three-dimensional warehouse total investment of more than 60 million yuan, divided into North and South two libraries, from the underground automatic transmission equipment into a whole, covers an area of 9000 square meters, warehouse capacity of about 16,000 shelves, and equipped with 15 AGV trolley. It is understood that 31 is currently China's construction machinery industry first, but also the only successful use of the type of warehouse enterprises.

Auto Assembly Workshop-Dongfeng Nissan

Dongfeng Nissan used AGV automatic transportation instead of the "tow head" running in the former full workshop. The new June Chun model in front and rear suspension on the basis of the addition of the transverse stabilizer bar after the separation, will be automatically completed by AGV transfer Line transport, for the combined installation. The chassis-mounted AGV can realize the automatic alignment of the installation position, and the transportation of AGV is largely replaced by the manual transportation, which is the first transportation mode of the domestic OEMs.

Workshop material Delivery-Changsha cigarette factory

As the best solution for automatic material handling in modern automatic logistics system, AGV is widely used in domestic cigarette enterprises. Hunan Tobacco Industry Co., Ltd. Changsha cigarette factory since the introduction of AGV system. The informationization, flexibility and energy-saving of enterprise automatic Logistics system are continuously improved. The AGV system of Changsha cigarette factory is mainly used for material transfer of auxiliary materials, the remainder of the time period such as weekend and change of card are returned to the depot, and the waste bin of the machine is sent to the garbage station. The work area involves almost the entire workshop.

With the development of factory automation, computer integrated manufacturing system technology and the wide application of flexible manufacturing system and automatic stereoscopic warehouse, AGV is the necessary automatic handling and handling means to connect and regulate discrete logistics system so that its operation is continuous, its application scope and technical level have been developed rapidly.

AGV is mainly used in industrial production, trade and service industry. Most AGV systems and trolleys are used in the automotive industry, followed by food, printing and paper, pharmaceuticals, machinery and plastics.
