AGV Material Handling Vehicle

Automated Guided Transport Vehicle is a specific application form of AGV, focused on point-to-point material transfer tasks. It combines automatic guidance, safety protection, and material carrying functions. The vehicle includes a transport-type AGV body, navigation system, drive system, carrying platform (roller, belt, or lifting), battery and charging system, and scheduling management system. Load capacity varies by model, from 100kg to 3000kg. No-load travel speed is 0 to 1.5m/s and full-load travel speed is 0 to 1.0m/s. Positioning accuracy is ±5mm to ±10mm. Runtime is 8 to 12 hours with automatic recharge support. Control is handled by a central scheduling system with multi-vehicle coordination. The vehicle connects production lines, warehouses, and loading docks flexibly, closing breaks in the material flow. Navigation options are varied, and deployment time is short.

When a material flow break needs to be closed quickly, a transport vehicle with flexible navigation is easier to deploy than a fixed conveyor. It can be introduced on one route first and expanded later, which keeps the initial investment contained.
