Warehouse AGV
Automatic Guided Vehicle systems
SATELLINE &
SATELLAR open up densely packed warehouses; building
to building device communications; and connection to far remote
assets such as gates, railways, and yard equipment previously
off limits by other wireless methods.
Modern facilities have mobile
automated equipment ranging from automatically guided pick-n-place
vehicles; to trucks, carts, gantries, barcode scanners, positioning
sensors, switches and many more devices that keep merchandise
moving.
The methods of controlling
AGV movement come in a variety of types ranging from position
feedback loops using sensors, encoders, and limiting devices;
to free roaming high accuracy RTK GPS positioning; or simply
back and forth on a rail or track system.
Absolute mobility is
accomplished by removing the binding copper communications cables which
are often limited in length, subject to binding and cutting,
and can be costly to install or modify. |
