AGV is the abbreviation of Automated Guided Vehicle, which means the automatic guided transport vehicle. It refers to an unmanned automatic vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance devices, which can travel along the specified guidance path and complete the operation under the control of a computer and has safety protection and various load transfer functions. It provides a highly flexible and automated transportation mode for modern manufacturing industry and modern logistics, and is an embodiment of the increasingly mature industrial automation.

At present, AGV cars are widely used in manufacturing, logistics and warehousing, automobile, paper making and other industries. With the development of AGV trolley, according to the different types of carriers, AGV is divided into flap (cover) type and transfer type (including different carriers such as belt and roller). The flap (cover) type is usually used for parcels less than 10kg, while the transfer type sortable parcels are heavier. The whole system adopts unmanned transport vehicle with optical automatic guidance device, visually identifies the barcode of goods through photoelectric sensor, and transmits the characteristic signal containing sorting information to AVG car. Finally, the trolley realizes the sorting and handling of goods according to the route set by the program command.


The AGV trolley can realize fully automatic operation without manual intervention, and has an extremely long endurance. It can operate in two directions, and can move forward, backward, accelerate, decelerate, bifurcate, stop at a fixed time, reverse and run in multiple functions. At the same time, in the factory, AGV trolleys can generally be used to directly place materials or carry material frames, roller platforms, etc., to automatically distribute materials in the production line, efficiently realize the turnover of materials in the workshop, and improve the production efficiency of the enterprise; Multi sensor integrated navigation is safe, reliable, flexible and efficient, automatic handling reduces labor intensity, intelligent scheduling seamlessly connects MES/WMS/ERP system, improves logistics efficiency, quickly and flexibly adapts to different complex scenarios, and efficiently completes automatic transportation of logistics. It can be said that AGV cars have promoted the upgrading of intelligent logistics, and the formation of automated assembly lines will also help enterprises to achieve digital transformation.
