From intralogistics to automotive manufacturing: Automated guided vehicles have become an indispensable part of modern material handling. They are increasingly being used to transport goods independently to their destination. It must be ensured that AGVs travel safely in their lane, are loaded and unloaded properly, and do not collide with people or objects under any circumstances.
All of this is only possible with the support of reliable and powerful sensors. Pepperl+Fuchs offers an extensive portfolio of industrial sensor technology that is ideally suited to the requirements of automated guided vehicles. For example, LiDAR sensors with high-performance technology ensure highly precise navigation. In addition, various sensors and systems enable safe and efficient load handling as well as detailed environment perception. In this way, the products from Pepperl+Fuchs ensure smooth processes around the use of automated guided vehicles—whether automated bots, forklift AGVs, or mobile robots.
No matter the task, be it docking at the transfer station, load detection and positioning, or load identification: Pepperl+Fuchs offers the right sensor technology for all tasks involving the automated picking up, securing, and transporting of loads. The compact and robust sensors are ideal for use in automated guided vehicles.
Regardless of the situation, from free navigation to floor-based navigation or motion tracking: To reliably navigate automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in any situation, powerful technologies are required. Pepperl+Fuchs offers a broad portfolio of sensors that are ideally suited for these challenges.
When using automated guided vehicles, sensors and systems from Pepperl+Fuchs reliably detect the environment of the AGVs. Depending on the application, the right solution is available to safely avoid collisions with people and objects and to bring AGVs to their destination without interference.
