Automated guided vehicle (AGV) is one type of versatile-mobile vehicle designed primarily to move the material from one place to another place.

Various predominant sensors were also using in the AGV’s; for example, optical sensor, laser sensor, magnetic sensor and camera.

Logistics management is that part of the supply chain that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet customer requirements.

1. Detection of object nearby the vehicle2. Detection of AGV at the stations

Inductive proximity switches consist of a coil driven byan oscillator.The oscillator develops an electromagnetic field which will appear at the active face of the switchIt is mounted on the lower bottom of the.

Proximity sensor

AGV‘s use tape for guide path this sensor decides the path of AGV which guides the vehicle in a confined Direction

The magnetic tape method is used here where the vehicle follow the magnetic tape which is affixed or adhered on the floor.

Material transfer system consisted electronic components, PLC, motor controller, voltage regulator ect.

Material transfer device is responsible for Robotic arm movements.

PLC Digital computer that has an input and an output

interface, controlled by a simulated program designed in a computer and it is used for automation for electromechanical process.

Motor controller: motion for arm is given by this motor, it gets commands from PLC.

Potentiometer: is attached to thee shoulder or elbow joint.

Robotic arm movements changes the resistance in potentiometer.

This mechanical grippers use the linear actuator which can be easily controlled by the DC motor

The main aim to use the DC motor in gripper is to make all the functions controlled by electrically

Mechanical Gripper

Features and Comments

It uses the linear actuator as a driver. Large opening and closing. The parallel hand movements help effective gripping. Designed with high quality steel. Expensive design and manufacturing cost Smooth movement. Moderate weight. Using pneumatic or hydraulic system for gripper adds

more complication and expenses.

The design is very modern and advanced, achieved through the help of PLC.

Robotic arm on the top for easy transaction of material. This will give higher efficiency than the existing

vehicles More flexible because each and every component in the

vehicle is operated with the help of PLC Battery frees AGV
