What does agv mean?

AGV is the abbreviation of (Automated Guided Vehicle), which means "Automated Guided Vehicle". It refers to a vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guiding device, which can travel along the specified guiding path and has safety protection and various load shifting functions.

AGV(Automated Guided Vehicles) is also called unmanned van, automatic navigation vehicle and laser navigation vehicle. Its remarkable feature is unmanned driving. AGV is equipped with an automatic guidance system, which can ensure that the system can automatically travel along the scheduled route and automatically transport goods or materials from the starting point to the destination without manual pilotage.

Characteristics of AGV

Another feature of AGV is good flexibility, high degree of automation and high degree of intelligence. The driving path of AGV can be changed flexibly according to the requirements of storage space and production technology, and the cost of changing the driving path is very low compared with the traditional conveyor belt and rigid transmission line.

AGV is generally equipped with loading and unloading mechanism, which can automatically connect with other logistics equipment to realize the automation of the whole process of loading and unloading of goods and materials. In addition, AGV also has the characteristics of clean production. AGV relies on its own storage battery to provide power, and there is no noise and pollution during operation, so it can be used in many places where clean working environment is required.
