An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is a device equipped with automatic guidance systems, such as electromagnetic or laser technology, which enables it to run along a predetermined guide route. It can transport various types of workpieces without manual operation after receiving instructions.
A well-known steel plant in Anhui with multiple production lines. The production process is complex and the demand for material handling is large. In the past, the company relied on traditional manual handling methods, which had the following challenges:
Manual handling was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors, making it difficult to meet production demands. Additionally, manual handling posed significant safety risks, increasing the company's liability.
Manual handling made it difficult to achieve real-time tracking and management of material information, hindering effective production communication.
The company recognized the limitations of traditional handling methods and began exploring automated solutions. After extensive research and consultations, they chose Peisa Machinery, a company with extensive experience in AGV systems.
The company's relevant personnel held detailed discussions with Peisa Machinery's business department, introducing the company's current situation, challenges, and desired outcomes. Peisa Machinery conducted an in-depth analysis of the production process, material types, handling routes, and application environment. After thorough evaluation, it was decided to implement AGV transfer cart to address the existing production challenges.
After multiple rounds of communication and solution optimization, the two parties finalized the following plan:
Based on the characteristics of the materials and handling requirements, Peisa Machinery selected AGV equipped with laser navigation systems.
The optimal path was designed according to the layout of the production workshop and material handling routes. The AGVs run along the predetermined guide routes and can efficiently transport auto parts without manual intervention.
The transfer cart system was integrated with the company's existing MES system to enable real-time sharing of material information.
After implementing AGV transfer cart, the company significantly improved material handling efficiency, effectively alleviating production pressure. The solution also reduced labor costs and minimized safety risks. The AGV enabled real-time tracking and management of material information, making the production process more refined and efficient.
High Flexibility: Capable of operating 24/7 without interruption. The system can be adjusted according to production needs, easily adapting to changes in production demands.
Enhanced Safety: Equipped with multiple safety protection systems, such as laser obstacle avoidance and emergency braking, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
Intelligent Operation:The agv supports integration with multiple systems through signal transmission, enabling real-time monitoring and intelligent scheduling of logistics information.
