2.  Automated guided vehicle (AGV) is one type of versatile-
mobile vehicle designed primarily to move the material
from one place to another place.
 Various predominant sensors were also using in the AGV’s;
for example, optical sensor, laser sensor, magnetic sensor
and camera.
 Logistics management is that part of the supply chain that
plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective
forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services,
and related information between the point of origin and the
point of consumption in order to meet customer
requirements.

4. The control device controls the vehicle movement and
the speed of the vehicle up to a greater accuracy through
some set of specially integrated equipment’s.
 PLC operated brushless DC motor
 Proximity sensor
 Photo sensor

6. 1. Detection of object nearby the vehicle
2. Detection of AGV at the stations
Inductive proximity switches consist of a coil driven by
an oscillator.
The oscillator develops an electromagnetic field which
will appear at the active face of the switch
It is mounted on the lower bottom of the.

7. AGV‘s use tape for guide path this sensor decides the
path of AGV which guides the vehicle in a confined
Direction
The magnetic tape method is used here where the vehicle
follow the magnetic tape which is affixed or adhered on
the floor.

8.  Material transfer system consisted electronic
components, PLC, motor controller, voltage regulator
ect.
 Material transfer device is responsible for Robotic arm
movements.
 PLC
 Digital computer that has an input and an output
interface, controlled by a simulated program designed
in a computer and it is used for automation for
electromechanical process.

10.  Motor controller: motion for arm is given by this
motor, it gets commands from PLC.
 Potentiometer: is attached to thee shoulder or elbow
joint.
 Robotic arm movements changes the resistance in
potentiometer.

11.  This mechanical grippers use the linear actuator which
can be easily controlled by the DC motor
 The main aim to use the DC motor in gripper is to
make all the functions controlled by electrically

 It uses the linear actuator as a driver.
 Large opening and closing.
 The parallel hand movements help effective gripping.
 Designed with high quality steel.
 Expensive design and manufacturing cost
 Smooth movement.
 Moderate weight.
 Using pneumatic or hydraulic system for gripper adds
more complication and expenses.

15.  The charging process is done by a constant interaction
between the track supply and the onboard battery
management system

16.  The design is very modern and advanced, achieved
through the help of PLC.
 Robotic arm on the top for easy transaction of material.
 This will give higher efficiency than the existing
vehicles
 More flexible because each and every component in the
vehicle is operated with the help of PLC
 Battery frees AGV
