Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)
Automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) are autonomous vehicles used to transport materials or to complete specific tasks in many different industrial areas. They feature electric-powered motors and computer technology that has been programmed to drive to and from specific points. They are controlled by a computer or machine rather than a human, AGVs are referred to as self-guided vehicles, self-propelled vehicles, and autonomous guided vehicles.
Applications:
Automatic guided vehicles AGV’s are important to operators in a wide range of industries or sectors like manufacturing and product assembly, military and defense, aerospace, warehouse, material handling, food and beverage, automotive assembly, plastics and metal, and goods packaging, and many more. Within these industries, managers use AGV to increase workflow and lower costs.
This programming allows AGVs systems to carry out specific jobs/work like: product and pallets loading or unloading, assembling parts, moving materials, towing equipment between conveyor belts, etc. Thanks to the improbable technology that goes into an AGV, all of this can be done without the need for human efforts to operate the machine. With Material handling AGV, automatic guided carts and transfer carts are used to replace monotonous manual labour work. Over time, these vehicles can significantly reduce labour costs.
AGVs are also used in military and defense applications as unmanned vehicles. In facilities with clean rooms, workers may use an AGV so that a human doesn’t need to work in a risky environment.
The Advantage of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)
Scalable & Customizable
Brilliant Info systems AGV solution is designed for your production process and product. AGVs can handle a wide range of applications. Whether your product has a high payload and low throughput or high throughput and high volume, Our AGVs are a planned solution for your needs.
This is a scalability solution that allows for lower entry cost than other conveyance methods because
the system does not require additional infrastructure and is customized to your specific application.
Flexible
Not like other traditional conveyance, the travel path of an AGV can be quickly fast, and cost-effectively reconfigured to accommodate changes in product, process, and path.
Additional AGV solutions can be added as needed as the line changes or to increase the production rate. This solution flexibility also provides cost savings efficiency as your system does not need to be more robust to accommodate future needs.
Improved Safety
Brilliant Info systems AGV solution is prepared with several features to reduce worker injury. AGV navigation technology recognizes obstacles, prevents impacts, and programs predictable travel paths and speeds. Further, AGVs provide 360-degree access as well as lift and delivery to increase operator ergonomics.
Selectable Power Source
A variety of power sources are available to provide the power that the AGV needs to travel through your ability. Several battery power options are available in the industry. There are many advantages to both types of power sources. Brilliant Info systems can help you identify which option best suits your needs.
Custom In-House Tooling
Brilliant Info systems AGV solution can fully tailor your AGV solution to your needs with custom tooling. Not all company production processes are the same, so tooling options can be used to further adjust the AGV to your specific application. The accurate tooling can allow for multi-part differences on the line or maximum operator accessibility to the part. Brilliant has the experience to custom design tooling for your AGV in-house.
