The Company Behind the Leading AGV Product Line
Inventors of AGV Technology
The history of Rapistan SystemsAGVS product group dates back to1953 with the introduction of theworld’s first automatic guidedvehicle. Since then, our aggressiveengineering has produced a seriesof breakthroughs, such as the firstsolid state controls (1962), the firstmicroprocessor controls (1978), andthe first autonomous guidancesystem - Virtual Path Guidance(1994).
Controlled Manufacturing
Rapistan Systems is one of theworld’s leading AGV systemcompanies; able to retain totalcontrol of our own technology.From onboard controls to vehicle
frames, Rapistan Systems designsand manufactures criticalcomponents in its own verticallyintegrated plant.
Accessibility in Service andParts
Rapistan Systems offers a variety ofmaintenance, training, and serviceprograms that will protect theinvestment you have made. A 24-hour 800 number puts you in touchwith parts, service, and engineeringresources 7 days a week.
• Easy-to-service controlscompartment allowing operatorto stand up to service vehicleelectronics
Vehicle Features
Fully automated operationincludes:
• Real-time continuouscommunications
• Onboard path routing logic
• Onboard traffic control logic (formulti-vehicle systems)
• Automatic return to batterychange station area upon sensinglow battery
Each USA manufacturedTow AGV has:
• Water resistant control enclosures
• Drive motor, transmission, anddrive wheel as a unified module,requiring fewer parts and easypreventive maintenance
• Easy maintenance wire labeling
• Fork pockets that eliminateunderframe sensor damage byfork lift pick up(DT 40/60/100)
Automatic or manualusage:
• Simply select mode withkeyswitch; vehicle can beremoved or re-entered anywherealong path

AGVsimulationmodels canpredict systembehavior andoptimizesystem design.
Controls are located in easy toaccess encolsure.
Operator inputsdestination for AGVinto onboard controldisplay panel.
• Over 100 English text displaymessages
• Invalid entry notification whichreduces input errors
• Easy to customize for specialapplications
System Controls
Smart AGV technology:
Rapistan Systems’ smart AGVtechnology provides decentralizedsystem intelligence controls wherethey are most useful - onboard theAGV.
AGVs can communicate with eachother and with an optional VehicleManager PC anywhere in the systemby means of a RF (Radio Frequency)CSM (Constant System Monitor)Communications Multiplexor.
Vehicle Controls
User friendly operatorinterface:
Rapistan Systems AGVs are equippedwith a user friendly, touch sensitiveonboard display panel with sealedkeys.
Control display panel featuresinclude:
• Easy to read, durable, 40character by 2 line display
• Status, prompts, and errormessages displayed in English
• Operator prompts for input(decreasing operator interfacetime)
• Display of vehicle’s current status,i.e., on path, off path, low battery,etc.
The RF CSM re-transmits the locationand status from each AGV to allother AGVs operating in the system.An optional Rapistan Systems VehicleManager PC is utilized when AGVsneed to be scheduled by remoteinput.
A Vehicle Manager system cangather data from remote I/O devicesand schedule all AGV assignments,
utilizing an optimizing “look forwork” strategy.
The RF CSM can also be networkedwith a Windows® format AGViewcolor graphics system monitor.
Options:
• Virtual path guidance
• Object detection
• Automatic charging
• Automatic uncoupler
• Automatic trailerloading/unloading
• Remote start
• Vehicle Manager AGV call system
• Outdoor capability
• Turn signals
• AGView system monitor andperformance recorder
• Joystick steering
• Wide load protection
Simulation Optimizes AGVSystem Design
Rapistan Systems engineers bring tocomputer simulation a wealth ofknowledge and experience in howAGV systems and controls operate.The resulting benefit is designexperimentation where systemperformance can be optimizedbefore system implementation.
