This document analyzes how internet of things (IoT) technology is being applied to automated guided vehicles (AGVs). It summarizes findings from analyzing thousands of scientific articles and patent families related to IoT and AGV terms. The analysis shows that control is a leading area of research in AGVs and maps out the ecosystem and components involved in AGV systems. It identifies trends over time in areas like sensors used for control and countries active in patenting. The conclusion is that IoT is allowing predictive control and optimization of AGVs while offering new services, and its use will continue increasing as the supporting technologies evolve.
