Vehículos AGV para manipular de forma más eficiente el material de tu almacén

An automated guided vehicle system transports various goods via computer-driven vehicles from a pick location to a drop location. The fleet manager distributes single transport orders to the vehicles. The shortest path to the destination is then calculated by the fleet manager. Communication between vehicles and the fleet manager is done via Wi-Fi.

An AGV system comprises the following components:

• One or more vehicles with forks, platform or conveyor loading options to transport pallets, racks or containers.
• Layout on which the vehicles move, including pick and drop stations
• A fleet manager that distributes the transport orders to the vehicles and defines the route for vehicles
• Interface to doors, elevators, conveyors via I/O signals
• Interface to SynQ WCS or other host system that generates transport orders

An AGV system is an efficient and flexible transport solution with many advantages:

• Automated guided vehicles are widely used in several business sectors including:, Pharma, Hospital, Food & Beverage, Retail, and E-Commerce
• Efficient solution for transport from A to B, with or without a warehouse manager
• Ideal for mid-range to large distances up to medium material flows
• People-safe technology equipped with safety scanners, rubber bumpers and emergency stop buttons
• High redundancy when having several vehicles
• No fixed installations necessary in the layout
• Readily extendible at any time
• Guaranteed flow through times for material flow
• Reduction in manual labor
• High reliability and availability
• High return on investment (ROI), especially for 3-shift operation
