AbstractAn automated guided vehicle or automatic guided

vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or

wires in the floor, or uses vision or lasers. They are mostoften used in industrial applications to move materials

around a manufacturing facility or a warehouse.

Application of the automatic guided vehicle has

broadened during the late 20th century and they are nolonger restricted to industrial environments.

Automatic Guided Vehicle System Transport material from loading to unloading

stations.

Highly flexible, intelligent and versatile materialhandling systems.

A very flexible solution for the problem of integrating

a new automated transportation line into an existing

transportation environment by using automatic guided

vehicle.

Components of AGVS The VehicleNo operator.

The guide pathThe path for the AGV.

The Control UnitMonitors and Directs systemoperations including feedback on moves, inventory,

and vehicle status.

The computer interfaceInterfaces with other

mainframe host computer, the automated storage and

retrieval system (AS/RS), and the flexible

manufacturing system (FMS).

Interfacing with other Sub SystemsAGVs System can be interfaced with othersubsystems through the distributed processingnetwork or using Host computer.

Such subsystems are:

Automated storage and retrieval system.

Flexible Manufacturing systems.

Computer Numerical control (CNC).Process Control Equipment.

Shop Floor control system.

AGVS Routing A routing system is used to select the vehicle which is

positioned with the optimum path.

A network controller gives the destination, while theon-board controller navigates the vehicle.

Commonly used methods:

Frequency select method.

Path-switch select method.

Flow Path Design Type of flow path within the layout i.e. unidirectional,

bidirectional or combination.

Type of guide path layout. Position of load transfer or loading /unloading

stations.

Number of stoppage stations.

Storage space of the stations.

For developing a flow path design simulation software

can be used.

Modification Voice Controller Technology is added in AGVs which

will allow worker to control vehicle from a certainrange.

Voice Control is done by DTMF.

Reduce time consumption.

Advantages of AGVs Unobstructed movement.

Flexibility.

Easy to change guide path system.

Greater reliability. Less environmental problems.

Lower investment.

Higher operating savings on long run.

Minimal labor cost. Easy maintenance.

Easy to interface with other systems.

Best choice for AS/RS, FMS.

Conclusion Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) increase

efficiency and reduce costs by helping to automate a

manufacturing facility or warehouse. It gives a good flexibility and unobstructed movement

and it can be easily interfaced with other systems so

these gives a good working environment for the

AGVs and by this in return it gives an efficientoutput.
