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:

    All the philosophy, therefore, in the world, and all the religion, which is nothing but a species of philosophy, will never be able to carry us beyond the usual course of experience, or give us measures of conduct and behaviour different from those which are furnished by reflections on common life. No new fact can ever be inferred from the religious hypothesis; no event foreseen or foretold; no reward or punishment expected or dreaded, beyond what is already known by practice and observation.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
