AGV TYPES
WHAT TO KNOW & WHERE TO USE
Knowing what your options are for driverless transport systems can help you decide why and when an investment in an automated forklift system can lead to increased efficiency.
► VISION GUIDED VEHICLES (VGVs) : Pallet Truck VGV and Tugger VGV, 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 : these wire guided and similar driverless vehicles 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 : Laser AGVs respond to multiple fixed points identified by mounted or integrated laser technology, allowing for a more flexible integration than wire AGVs.
