Material Handling

RAGHAV

As you know, our previous article “Automated Guided Vehicles” was completely dedicated to mobotics. We discussed about the various sensing mechanisms on which these AGVs work and which are most commonly sought after. We also saw how widely AGVs are used in every industry to meet the material handling needs. Now that there has been enough backdrop, without further a do, we present to you Yantra’s very own mobile robot RAGHAV.

You might wonder why we have named our AGV as RAGHAV. Well because it is stylish, it represents India in a way and of course it is logical, as it is the abbreviation for Rucha Auto Guided Heavy Assistance Vehicle. RAGHAV works on the same principles as any other AGV, it follows a fixed path for navigation based on a sensing mechanism to transport heavy loads across the shop floor. So what makes us different? Let us see some exclusive features of RAGHAV, which distinguish it from others, then you can decide for yourself how we are distinct from others.

  • RAGHAV has floor adaptability as an added feature apart from its other attributes as an AGV. It is designed specifically to adapt to compromised floor conditions like slopes, bumps, gradients and unevenness. So industries do not have to worry about the expensive epoxy flooring or PVC coating.
  • Unlike the traditional magnetic tapes or laser guided paths, RAGHAV works on M-SENSE (patent Pending) or Color Sense guiding mechanisms invented in-house. M-SENSE (Metal Based Sensing Under Strenuous Environment) is 3 times more robust to wear and tear and environmental changes whereas, C-Sense (Color Sense) is extremely easy to install, just decide your path of travel, color it with your shade of industrial color (viz. red/ blue) and you are ready to go. You may also use a good quality color tape.
  • If you remember, in our last article we noted that the only disadvantage of an AGV is its higher initial costing. Here comes RAGHAV to your rescue with adaptive models meeting the exact minimum requirements of a company. This way we can avoid the added costs for unnecessary technology, which the company does not need. Our path sensing mechanisms are also less expensive to install, making RAGHAV a very affordable alternative.
  • Adaptability being one of our key feature, RAGHAV can adapt to any kind of load, be it tugging a trolley or handling the entire load on its back. So whatever be the requirement, industries do not have to make any changes to their existing systems.
  • Our engineers have always strived to make better and safer AGVs, understanding the criticality of labor safety. With highly safe industrial grade sensing mechanism and as much as 8 plus safety sensors, RAGHAV can detect obstacles and avoid fatal shop floor accidents. In addition, it also has an emergency switch. This enables the workers to move around safely, creating a risk free work environment.
  • RAGHAV is trendy and can also be easily controlled remotely with a mobile app which is the need of the day. It can be operated manually and automatically both, giving freedom to the companies and enhancing the feature of adaptability even more.
  • With a battery backup of 12+ hours even under fully loaded conditions, RAGHAV is almost always available to work throughout the day. This exceptional feature makes it stand out tall with pride among its competitors.
  • Last but not the least, our designers have put in great efforts to add an amazing aesthetic value to RAGHAV. It is compact and sleek, not occupying a large space on the shop floor. You will be amazed how this gentle looking small AGV can carry such heavy loads.

We are sure you must now be curious about the actual load carrying capacity of RAGHAV. It comes in 3 different variants designed for different loads and features.

  • RAGHAV 0.5 is our very first invention. It is minimalistic and extremely affordable with a tugger capacity of 500 Kg and unit load capacity of 250 Kg.
  • RAGHAV 0.5+ is the bigger sibling of RAGHAV 0.5 with same load capacity but better aesthetics. We have improved the battery backup and added some extra safety features as value adds. 
  • RAGHAV 1.5 is the biggest among them all with capability of handling heaviest of the loads. It has a tugger capacity if 1500 Kg and unit load capacity of 750 Kg. It is a much safer option when compared to forklifts, which are used for transporting similar load. 

The three RAGHAV siblings are slowly but steadily making progress towards achieving bigger goals. Our engineers are innovating to add new features and make RAGHAV more superior and sophisticated to fulfill the material handling needs of each and every industry.
