The autonomous mobile robot is different from a portable robot called an automated guided vehicle, which travels along defined long lines or cables on the ground or depends on radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation.
AGVs, often referred to as self-guided or autonomous guided vehicles, are load carriers or material handling devices that navigate a warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing plant on their own without a driver or operator in the driver’s seat.
An AGC follows a painted strip on the floor to travel along a predetermined course while carrying out repetitive chores.
It is a basic AGV system with little automation. AGV carts are frequently utilised for cross-docking, storage, and sorting duties to reduce labour expenses.
The Japan Automated guided vehicle market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Launch of the Agile1500 Automated Guidance Vehicle by Comau An revolutionary AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) platform has been made commercially available by Comau, an international firm based in Italy that specialises in industrial automation.
This platform is adaptable enough to be used in a variety of manufacturing and non-manufacturing settings. The new AGV platform’s first automated guided vehicle, the Agile1500, fully embodies Comau’s open automation design methodology.
Agile1500 is entirely reconfigurable, modular, and expandable. It has a carrying capacity of 1,500 kg and a top speed of 1.7 m/s.
These features enable the new AGV to greatly simplify fundamental activities such as just-in-time and just-in-sequence production, as well as to optimise logistic flows inside the factory, to improve warehouse management, and to increase overall production efficiency.
Agile 1500 is crucial in the creation of a new operating system mandated by Industry 4.0. Thanks to cutting-edge security features and an inbuilt laser scanner that stops the AGV when it detects an obstruction in its path, it can improve overall plant safety.
A standard product with a lot of configuration options is Agile1500. Additionally, depending on the needs of each individual application, it can be equipped with a variety of accessories that improve its performance.
Because of this, a variety of manufacturing requirements and industrial layouts can be easily accommodated by Agile1500’s adaptability.
Additionally, Agile1500 supports a variety of navigation techniques that make use of both natural landmarks (such as walls and other objects) and predetermined locations (such as magnetic spots and magnetic tape).
