4. History of AGV’S
ThefirstAGVwasbroughttomarketinthe
1950s,by Barrett Electronics of
Northbrook,andatthetimeit wassimply
a tow truck that followed a wire in the
floorinsteadofarail.
Overthe yearsthe technology has
becomemoresophisticatedandtoday
automated vehicles are mainly Laser
navigated ex:LGV
.

5. What is AGV?
AGV?
AGV is amaterial handling system that uses
independently operated,self-propelled
operated,vehicles guided along defined
pathways.

12. Common AGV Applications
Automated Guided Vehicles can be used in a wide variety of applications to transport many
differenttypesofmaterialincludingmaterialincludingpallets,rolls,racks,carts,andcontainers.
Raw Material Handling: -AGVsarecommonlyusedtotransportrawmaterialssuchaspaper
,steel,
rubber
, metal, and plastic. This includes transporting materials from receiving to transporting
warehouseanddeliveringmaterialsdirectlytoproductionlines.

13. Finished Product Handling: - Moving finished goods from manufacturing to
storage or shipping is the final movementof materials before they are
deliveredtocustomers.Thesemovementsoftenrequirethegentlestmaterial
handling because the products are complete and subject to damagefrom
roughhandling.
