Automatic Guided Vehicle

An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor to navigate around a manufacturing facility or warehouse. AGVs are used to transport materials and reduce human effort while increasing transportation speed and safety. They work by detecting black lines on the floor using sensors and microcontroller-based programming. AGVs offer modular, dynamic transport that is safe, predictable, accurate and can increase productivity. They are applied in transportation lines, fully automated industries, malls, and the cargo industry.

AUTOMATIC GUIDED VEHICLE

(AGV)

INTRODUCTION:-
An automated guided vehicle or automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is a
mobile robot that follows markers or wires in the floor, or uses vision,
magnets, or lasers for navigation. They are most often used in industrial
applications to move materials around a manufacturing facility or a
warehouse. Application of the automatic guided vehicle has broadened
during the late 20th century.

OBJECTIVES:-
Reduction of human effort

Safety of product

Atomization of transportation line

To increase the speed transportation

To reduce human errors while transportation

CONSTRUCTION &BLOCK DAIGRAM:-


In this vehicle line follower robot used which have main function of
detect the path for AGV.

HYDREULLICS mechanism is used to do up- down motion of lift

It s construction partially same as maze solving robot .

List of parts
Line follower sensor

Wheels

Platform

Roller mechanism
Motors

Microcontroller based programming

It is mainly works on the phenomenon of line following circuit in


which this circuit detect only black colored path

As the black colored path is detected by line follower circuit it start


working according to path

It is also capable to load and unload the products

ADVANTAGES:-
1. Offers a Dynamic Design Solution

Anyone that has ever had the task of relocating a fixed conveyor system knows that
this can be a cumbersome undertaking. Through the use of advanced AGV technology
and wireless routing, vehicles can be quickly reprogrammed to change path or
operation, eliminating the need for expensive retrofitting. New directions, tasks, and
work cells can be created almost instantaneously without the need for physical
equipment installation.

2. Modular System Elements

After the control system is in place, AGVs can be added as required by the growth of
the operation. A fleet can start with a single robot then grow as demand increases,
decreasing the initial investment and allowing for a gradual and seamless
implementation. AGVs can be easily integrated with robotic attachments and existing
or new material handling equipment to develop a fully automated system.

3. Safe and Predictable Technology

Through the advancement of control systems AGVs offer a safe and predictable
method of delivery, while avoiding interference with human and building factors.
AGVs can operate almost around the clock, without the need for breaks and vacation
time. In addition, AGVs operate in conditions that may not be suitable for human
operators, such as extreme temperatures and hazardous environments.

4. Increased Accuracy and Productivity

Automated Guided Vehicles, combined with RF technology, interface with the


Warehouse Control System or Warehouse Management System to improve accuracy
and efficiency. AGVs have little downtime, and operate at a fixed rate to meet a
predictable metric for operational activity.
APPLICATION:-
Transportation line

Fully automated industry

Malls

Cargo industry
