AGV TYPES
WHAT TO KNOW & WHERE TO USE
Knowing what your options are for driverless transport systems can help you decide why and when it is time to investment in automation.
► VISION GUIDED VEHICLES (VGVs) : integrate easily into your existing infrastructure by using 3D modeling technology to build a map of your facility and operate within it - no wire guidance needed.
► WIRE, FRID, AND TAPE AGVs : follow a specified path generally built into or taped to the floor of the facility. This technology is also used for tugger AGVs and Cart AGVs.
► LASER AGVs : respond to multiple fixed points identified by mounted or integrated laser technology, allowing for a more flexible integration than wire AGVs.
