Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) - Mobile Automation
An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a mobile robot that follows a predetermined path to transport materials or goods within a warehouse, factory, or other industrial setting. AGVs are typically used to move products, raw materials, or finished goods between different areas of a facility, such as between a storage area and a production line. They can be programmed to follow a specific route and can be equipped with sensors and other technologies to navigate and avoid obstacles.
AGVs can be used in a variety of industries, such as automotive, food and beverage, and logistics. They can be used to transport materials such as crates, pallets, or containers, depending on the specific application. AGVs can help improve efficiency, increase productivity, and reduce labor costs by automating the transportation of goods within a facility.
