Automated Guided VehiclesMODULE NO - 02
05-03-2019 By Prof. Ameya Nijasure - PCE New panvel
■ Automated guidance technology
■ Vehicle Management
■ Traffic Control – to minimize interference and avoid collisions
– On board vehicle sensing – optical sensor / ultrasonic sensor
– Zone control
■ Vehicle dispatching – Computer control position of each vehicle using
radio frequency(RF) to check availability & effecting assignment for pickup
and drop.
■ Vehicle safety – man machine at same location – avoid collisions
– Travelling speed is slow than normal human walk
– Obstacle detection
– Emergency bumpers
– Manual restart

Automatic Storage & Retrieval systemMODULE NO - 02
05-03-2019 By Prof. Ameya Nijasure - PCE New panvel
■ Definition
– A combination of equipment and controls which automatically
handle, store and retrieve materials with great speed and accuracy,
without direct handling by a human worker.
■ Operations performed by AS/RS
– Removal of an item from a storage location automatically
– Transferring the above item to a specific processing or interface
point
– After receiving an item from a processing or interface point, it is
automatically stored at a predetermined location.

05-03-2019 By Prof. Ameya Nijasure - PCE New panvel
■ Unit load AS/RS
– Standard-sized containers
– System is computer controlled.
– Loads are generally over 500 lb per unit.
■ Mini Load AS/RS
– To handle small loads such as individual parts
– bins or drawers used to store
– Small scale / space available
■ Deep-Lane AS/RS
– a high-density unit load storage system
– stored in multi deep storage with up to 10 items in a single rack,
■ Man-on-board AS/RS

■ Unit load AS/RS
■ Mini Load AS/RS
■ Deep-Lane AS/RS
■ Man-on-board AS/RS
– storage of items in less than unit load quantities
– operator can select the items and place them in a module
■ Automated Item Retrieval system
– designed for retrieval of individual items or small product
cartoons.
– items are stored in lanes rather than bins or drawers
■ Vertical Lift Retrieval system
