The document discusses automated guided vehicles (AGVs), including their history, types, navigation methods, advantages, disadvantages, and applications in material handling. AGVs are self-propelled vehicles designed for transporting materials along defined pathways, which can utilize various navigation systems such as wired, magnetic tape, and laser. The technology has evolved since the 1950s, and while AGVs increase productivity and reduce labor costs, they also come with high initial costs and need periodic recharging.

- 2. • What is AGV? • History of AGV • AGV System • Types Of AGV • Types of navigations in AGV • Advantages • Disadvantages • Applications of AGV’s
- 3. AGV is a material handling system that uses independently operated, self- propelled vehicles guided along defined pathways.
- 4. History of AGV The first AGV was brought to market in the 1950s, by Barrett Electronics, and at the time it was simply a tow truck that followed a wire in the floor instead of a rail. over the years the technology has become more sophisticated and today automated vehicles are mainly Laser navigated ex: LGV.

- 8. It consists of a towing vehicle that pulls one or more trailers to form a train. This type is applicable in moving heavy pay loads over large distance in warehouses or factories with or without intermediate pickup and drop off points along the route. It consists of 5-10 trailers.
- 9. • Pallet trucks are used to loading and un-loading along predetermined routes. • The capacity of an AGV pallet truck ranges up to several thousand kilograms and some are capable of handling two pallets.
- 10. • These are used to move unit loads from one station to another. • It is also used for automatic loading and unloading of pallets by means of rollers. • Load capacity ranges up to 250 kg or less. • Especially these vehicles are designed to move small loads.
- 12. • A slot is cut in the ground and a wire is placed approximately 1 inch below the ground. • The wired sensor is placed on bottom of the AGV’S and is placed facing the ground. • The sensors detects the radio frequency being transmitted from the wire and follows it.
- 13. The AGV’S use magnetic tape for the guide path. The Automated Guided Control’S is fitted with the appropriate guide sensors to follow the path of the tape.
- 14. The AGV’S carry’s a laser transmitter and receiver on a rotating turret. The AGV’S has reflector map stored in memory and can correct its position based on errors between the expected and received measurements. The laser is sent off then received again the angle and distances are automatically calculated and stored into AGV’S memory.
- 15. Reduces the labor cost Speed of delivery Flexibility Transforming the materials in industry
- 16. High Initial cost Should be recharged periodically Will stop delivery when the AGV is forced off the path
- 17. Raw Material Handling Work in Process Movement Pallet Handling Finished Product Handling
- 18. Hence it is concluded that in a mass production factory with large area, a AGV will definitely increase productivity, with decrease in expenditure and transportation time
