AGV automatic handling equipment, also known as automatic guided vehicles, is an indispensable part of modern logistics systems. Its working principle mainly relies on navigation technology, control systems, sensing systems, and drive systems. AGV senses the surrounding environment through sensors and automatically travels according to preset routes and instructions to complete tasks such as material handling, storage, and sorting, greatly improving production and logistics efficiency.
Navigation technology is one of the core technologies of AGV automatic handling equipment, which determines how AGV identifies paths and performs precise positioning. At present, AGV navigation technology mainly includes the following types:
Magnetic navigation: Lay magnetic tapes along the ground, and AGV locates them by recognizing the magnetic field signals of the tapes through sensors. Laser navigation: Using a laser scanner to scan the surrounding environment, establish an environmental map, and locate by matching the laser beam with environmental feature points. Visual navigation: Identifying environmental features such as QR codes, images, etc. through cameras for localization. Inertial navigation: using inertial sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers to measure the motion information of AGV for positioning. Hybrid navigation: Combining the above navigation technologies, such as laser navigation and visual navigation, to improve navigation accuracy and reliability.
The control system is the "brain" of AGV, responsible for receiving positioning information from the navigation system, making decisions based on preset programs and real-time conditions, and controlling the operation status of AGV, such as speed, direction, stop, steering, etc. The control system generally consists of a microprocessor, memory, input/output interfaces, etc., and controls the AGV through software programming.
The sensing system is the "perception" organ of AGV, responsible for collecting surrounding environmental information such as obstacles, personnel, ground conditions, etc., and feeding back this information to the control system. Common sensing systems include:
Ultrasonic sensor: detects obstacles by emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving reflected waves. Laser sensor: By emitting a laser beam and receiving reflected light to detect obstacles, it can achieve more precise distance measurement. Infrared sensor: detects obstacles by emitting infrared light and receiving reflected light. Visual sensor: Obtaining image information through a camera, identifying obstacles, personnel, etc. Collision sensor: When the AGV collides with an obstacle, an alarm signal is triggered.The drive system is the "power" source of AGV, responsible for driving AGV to move. Common drive systems include:
Wheel drive: AGV moves by rolling its wheels, which is the most common driving method. Crawler drive: AGV moves through the rolling of tracks and is suitable for uneven ground. Magnetic levitation drive: AGV is suspended in the air through a magnetic field, without touching the ground, and can achieve noise free and pollution-free movement.The safety system is the "guardian" of AGV, responsible for ensuring the safe operation of AGV and preventing accidents. Common security systems include:
Emergency stop button: When an emergency situation occurs, the AGV can be stopped immediately. Anti collision system: detects the surrounding environment through sensors to avoid collisions with obstacles. Safety grating: When personnel enter the operating area of the AGV, an alarm signal is triggered to stop the AGV operation. Safety barrier: Set up barriers in the AGV operating area to prevent personnel from entering.The communication system is the "liaison" of AGV, responsible for information exchange between AGV and other equipment, such as communication with the central control system, communication with other AGVs, etc. Common communication methods include:
Wireless communication: Data transmission through wireless networks such as Wi Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Wired communication: Data transmission is carried out through cables, such as RS-232, RS-485, etc.AGV automatic handling equipment is widely used in various industries, such as:
Manufacturing industry: used for material handling, parts transportation, product distribution, etc. Logistics warehousing: used for goods handling, sorting, storage, etc. Hospital: Used for the transportation of drugs, medical equipment, and other items. Airport: used for luggage handling, cargo transportation, etc. Supermarket: used for product delivery, shelving, etc.With the continuous development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, AGV automatic handling equipment will have more powerful functions and broader application areas, such as:
Intelligence: AGV will become more intelligent, able to automatically adjust its operating route, speed, etc. according to environmental changes. Collaboration: AGVs will collaborate with other devices, such as industrial robots, autonomous vehicles, etc., to achieve more efficient logistics transportation. Personalization: AGVs will be more personalized and can be customized with different functions and appearances according to customer needs.Jiangsu Stek Intelligent Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a professional enterprise engaged in the research and development, production, sales, and service of intelligent manufacturing equipment.
