AGV-based Automation
What does AGV-based automation actually mean?
If automated guided vehicles (AGV) are used for this purpose, we also speak of AGV-based automation. In this special field of automation, vehicles are deployed which take on transport tasks in a self-determined manner. In this special field of automation, vehicles are deployed which take on transport tasks in a self-determined manner. These AGV replace classic industrial trucks in intralogistics in particular, but can also take on far more tasks. Through the combination of vehicle and mobile robot units, AGV can, for example, also take over transport-accompanying tasks in the handling of materials. The vehicles are also able to carry out intra-company transports in outdoor areas, in some cases in gated areas.

Advantages of AGV-based automation
The use of an automated guided vehicle, in contrast, makes it possible to adapt the material flow dynamically and flexibly to the current demand situation. Process changes can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively, so that the time to market of new products can be significantly reduced.
As the vehicles’ conveyor routes require hardly any infrastructural conversions and can be used by several, even different vehicles, the infrastructural investment costs in particular are lower with an AGV than with the classic conveyor system. In addition, existing vehicles can be used dynamically for different source-sink relationships, which means that the investments made are optimally utilised. In the case of process adaptations and expansions which arise with the development of the business, AGV can be successively expanded or can take over alternative tasks.
