AGV IS ONE OF MANY TRANSPORT OPTIONS
MOTHER/DAUGHTER FORKLIFT CONVEYOR
WHAT IS AN AGV?
”AGV/AGC/SDV are driverless, electric motor vehicles, with a
programming capability of path selection, destination, collision
avoidance, and destination. AGV offer advantages in field of
logistic systems by handling material flows automatically”.

1953
First “AGV” ever
“The first practical application of
vehicle automation took place not
on the roadway, but in the
warehouse. In 1953, Arthur Barrett,
Jr., developed the first automated
guided vehicle (AGV), what he
described as a “driverless vehicle”
called the Guide-O-Matic. The
Guide-O-Matic followed a wire in
the ceiling and helped turn Barrett
Electronics into a major provider of
advanced logistics and distribution
center equipment. Barrett Industrial
Trucks was later sold to Nissan”

The traditional AGVs were battery-driven, unmanned vehicles that transported material and product,
a robot. The value was clear: replace human operators using traditional material handling equipment
such as fork trucks, pallet jacks, and tow tractors with an automated vehicle to move the same load.
The problems with traditional AGVs were steep upfront costs, limited flexibility, complicated,
a high total cost of ownership, and a long return-on-investment (ROI) prospect.
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
A recent report released by the McKinsey Institute predicts the potential economic contribution
of new technologies such as advanced robotics, mobile internet and 3D printing are
expected to return between US$14 trillion and US$33 trillion globally per year by 2025
https://blog.csiro.au/self-driving-cars-and-autonomous-robots-where-to-now/
Technology advisory firm Gartner also recently released a report predicting the “smart machine
era” to be the most disruptive in the history of IT. This trend includes the proliferation of
contextually aware, intelligent personal assistants, smart advisers, advanced global industrial
systems and the public availability of early examples of autonomous vehicles.
With a trend towards more agile manufacturing setups, the technology enables
lightweight robots that are able to navigate safely and quickly through unstructured and
dynamic environments like conventional manufacturing workplaces. These fully
autonomous robots have the potential to increase productivity in the production line by reducing
bottlenecks and performing unstructured tasks safely and quickly.

AGV GUIDANCE OPTIONS
MAGNETIC TAPE LASER GUIDANCE MAGNETIC SPOT INDUCTIVE GUIDANCE
• Guide path is marked with a magnetic tape that is placed on the floor surface
• Guide path sensor is mounted on the vehicle
• Paths are continuous
• Paths are fixed, the systems guide path can be changed easily and quickly
• Tape may have to be epoxy coated to floor
• Recommended for Automatic Guided Carts (AGC)
• Guide path is marked with magnetic pucks that are placed on or in the floor
• Guide path sensor is mounted on the vehicle
• Paths are open, the systems guide path can be changed
• Extensive layouts can complicate the layout of magnetic pucks
• Depending on the accuracy of the magnetic sensor, calibration of the position may be required for different vehicles
• Floor is cut and a wire is
imbedded to represent guide
path
• Path are fixed and not easily
changed
• Paths are well marked on the
floor
• Paths are continuous
• Paths are fixed, the systems
guide path is not easily changed
• Area is mapped and stored in the vehicle's computer memory
• Use of existing environment scanned by laser bumpers, with the aid of a few fixed reference points
• Guide path is easily changed and expanded
• System can be expanded without alteration to the facility
• Dynamic control of blocking and traffic management
• Area is mapped and stored in the vehicle’s computer memory
• Multiple, fixed reference points, reflective strips, located within the operating area that can be detected by a laser head that is mounted on the vehicle
• Guide path is easily changed and expanded

There is no question human loss and liability cost relative to forklift injuries has been the No. 1
driver for forklift-free (also referred to as fork-free) plant floors.

BMW SEEKS TO CUT COSTS WITH 5% PER CAR
• With assembly lines already sharply honed,
moving around parts is one of the last remaining
areas open for improving productivity. The process
has also become increasingly complex as
factories often produce multiple models on a
single line and more and more customization
options are being offered to woo modern
consumers.
• Expects will help cut costs by 5 percent per car
annually.
• the vehicles autonomously find the desired parts
container, slide under it and transport it to the
packing area.
• The system saves money over the current manual
process with shorter response times and improved
inventory flows, Oliver Zipse, BMW's production
