Summary • In traditional warehouses, human error has a negative effect on safety, efficiency, and quality. • These expenses are reduced with the introduction of an autonomous vehicle. • A driverless, intelligent forklift can quickly and safely traverses a warehouse.
Manufacturing Requirements • Faster product turn-around • Smaller warehouses • Better safety records
AGV Behaviors • Line following to relocate pallets within a model warehouse • RF communication with an ASRS • User input from a remote control • Obstacle Detection
IN OUT Model Warehouse • Shipping and receiving docks • Additional docks for temporary storage DOCKS
