Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) & Laser guided Vehicles (LGV)
An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a robot or driverless forklift truck designed, built and configured to increase efficiency and reduce costs by helping to automate the movement of goods in a manufacturing facility or warehouse. There are a number of different sizes and types of automatic guided vehicles depending on the application and use. The automated guided vehicle can either be programmed to follow markers or wires in the floor of a warehouse or manufacturing plant or they can work through the use of vision or lasers. They are used to perform a repetitive sequence of operations however their role can be changed at any time to perform any type of towing or carrying tasks. This is particularly useful when the role changes or the re-configuration of a manufacturing plant or warehouse takes place.
