Application of AGV system in the automotive industry

Automated Guided Vehicles are commonly referred to as AGVs, and Automated Guided Vehicle Systems are commonly referred to as AGVS. The AGV is an unmanned handling vehicle that can automatically follow the specified driving route and the stopping position according to the position information determined by the on-board sensor according to the pre-designed program according to the instructions issued by the monitoring system.

AGVS consists of central monitoring system, AGV, communication system, ground guidance system, loading and unloading station and its transfer device, charging station and so on. Automated guided vehicle systems are widely used in warehouses, factories, terminals, automated warehouse systems in airports, flexible processing, and flexible assembly systems to automate logistics. This article will describe the main technical specifications and performance characteristics of various types of AGVS used in the automotive industry.

In recent years, major domestic automobile manufacturers have increased their technical investment and technological innovation in the field of automobile and assembly testing, and have made great progress in the production organization, information management and logistics technology of automobile installation testing. Nowadays, the general trend of automobile manufacturing technology is: flexibility, agility, intelligence, and informationization. Around this technology development trend, major domestic automobile manufacturers have applied various types of AGV technology in automotive equipment testing technology.

AGV is one of the key equipments in modern logistics systems. It is battery-powered, non-contact guided, and can be equipped with different transfer mechanisms according to actual needs to complete the corresponding operational tasks.
