Automated Guided Vehicle - Common AGV Applications

Common AGV Applications

Automated Guided Vehicles can be used in a wide variety of applications to transport many different types of material including pallets, rolls, racks, carts, and containers. AGVs excel in applications with the following characteristics:

  • Repetitive movement of materials over a distance
  • Regular delivery of stable loads
  • Medium throughput/volume
  • When on-time delivery is critical and late deliveries are causing inefficiency
  • Operations with at least two shifts
  • Processes where tracking material is important

Famous quotes containing the word common:

    “Stiller ... took part in the Spanish Civil War ... It is not clear what impelled him to this military gesture. Probably many factors were combined—a rather romantic Communism, such as was common among bourgeois intellectuals at that time.”
    —Max Frisch (1911–1991)
