The AGV originated in Europe and the United States and is a heavy-duty model with a load capacity of 50kg-60000kg (60 tons). After that, Japan developed a light AGV, also called AGC. This AGV was widely used and developed in Japan in 2003 and 2004. .
Compared with heavy-duty AGVs, light-weight AGVs have low requirements on technology, cost and load capacity, low barriers, and low prices. Chinese companies have also begun to develop and manufacture light-weight AGVs. As one of the social infrastructures, the AGV industry in China has fundamentally improved the operational efficiency of the logistics system, and has brought far-reaching influence to China's warehousing, logistics and manufacturing industries.
China Warehousing AGV can be automatically charged, has a high degree of automation, is convenient, and has a small footprint.
