Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) – what are they?
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are autonomous vehicles that move around warehouses, factories and other facilities, transporting goods without the need for human intervention. AGVs use advanced technologies such as sensors, cameras and navigation systems to move along defined routes and avoid obstacles.
Key features of AGVs:
- Autonomy: AGVs operate without the need for direct supervision, increasing operational efficiency and reducing labor costs.
- Application: These vehicles are widely used in logistics, manufacturing and distribution, where fast and efficient movement of goods is needed. They can transport a variety of loads, from pallets to smaller packages.
- Safety: Thanks to advanced obstacle detection systems, AGVs can navigate in high-traffic environments, minimizing the risk of accidents and collisions.
- Increased efficiency: Automated guided vehicles can operate 24/7, significantly increasing operational efficiency and speeding up logistics processes.
