A: AGVs can move using different types of navigation technologies:

• Laser guidance: Equipped with a rotating laser that detects reflectors in their environment to determine position very precisely (down to a quarter of a centimeter). Particularly suitable for medical applications.
• Wire guidance: Travel along a ground track made of wires, rails, magnetic lines of force or cables. Best when application flexibility is not required.
• Vision guidance: Follow a path drawn on the ground recognized by a camera. Low installation cost and requires no special installation work.
• Geographical navigation: Use a mapped representation of the environment in their system to move independently without infrastructure adjustments. The itinerary is automatically calculated and the map can be modified at any time via mapping software. This is the most reliable solution.

A: The choice depends on the flexibility and precision your application needs. Laser guidance is highly precise for medical applications; wire guidance is suitable for fixed, inflexible tracks; vision guidance is cost-effective and easy to install; while geographical navigation offers the highest reliability and flexibility as routes can be reprogrammed in software without physical infrastructure changes.

A: An AGV is a movable platform used to move materials, components, and other items horizontally. To determine if it is the right choice among material handling solutions on the market, you must consider the weight of the load and the specific travel requirements of your application.

A: Heavy-duty AGV transport offers easy operation, high safety, and stable operation. Key features include automatic lifting, hydraulic independent suspension, automatic leveling, automatic operation, anti-collision systems, rapid operation, all-round steering, and adaptability to uneven ground. They are also a highly affordable option for moving long or heavy loads through restricted passages or doorways.

A: Heavy-duty AGVs are mainly used in warehousing, manufacturing, ports, airports, hazardous places, and special industries. They realize the automated handling of large, overweight, or overlong materials.

A: They improve logistics automation in heavy-duty sectors, reduce workers' labor intensity, enhance production efficiency, shorten logistics cycles, accelerate capital turnover, and ultimately improve overall economic benefits.
