Automated guided vehicle are the load carriers specially used in industries. They are the computer-operated vehicles which have wheels for moving. They carry heavy load on the floor of any industry or any facility without the need for a driver or on-board operator for travelling. The movement is headed by the combination of sensor and software-based guided systems. Since they move the directed path with correctly-controlled and regulated deceleration and acceleration, and also have automated bumper detector, the automated guided vehicles offers safer movement of loads. The customary automated guided vehicles comprise several crucial applications like work-in-progress, transportation of raw materials, storage or keeping back, finished goods with the manufacturing of production lines, work-in-progress, and other movements like picking in warehouse and other distribution applications.
The navigation of automated guided vehicles is also done by placing the reflective tapes on the walls, the fixed machines or the poles. The AGV holds a receiver and a transmitter on the rotating turret. The laser is initially transmitted and received through the same sensor. The angle and distance to any of the reflectors in light of sight in range is also automatically calculated. This enables the navigation system to survey the present position of the automated guided vehicle.Major Key Players of the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Market are:
Daifuku Co., Ltd., Dematic, E&K Automation GmbH, Hyster-Yale Group, Inc., JBT, KION GROUP AG, KUKA AG, Oceaneering International, Inc., Seegrid Corporation, and Toyota Material Handling, among others.
