We know that Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are portable robots which follow a prefixed path for navigation. They can tow the material stored on trailers and trolleys attached behind them or can store the material on the overhead beds for conveyance. They are used to transport loads in a manufacturing facility or a warehouse, where repetitive movement of material is required with little or no human interaction. Now a days, they are deployed in nearly every industry including automobile, food, pharmaceuticals, textiles and much more, their scope ranging from handling raw materials to finished products. We have plenty of articles about AGVs and their applications in our Knowledge Corner series which you can refer to. In fact, our flagship products RAGHAV and VAMEN are awesome examples of ideal AGVs.
But in some cases, it is difficult to predict in advance, the path that the AGV is going to traverse. For example, if we want the AGV to carry our luggage at airport. Did you know that on average, each international traveler carries around 50 Kg of baggage including check-in and carry-on, that makes it around 150 Kg for a family of 3. Now that is definitely a considerable number. Or imagine a situation where a super market worker has to stalk 10 Kg flour bags on the display shelf. It is definitely very heavy to be manually pushed by a trolley but since different flours are kept on different shelves, it is also difficult to fix a path for the AGV. Here, AGVs operating on colour sense or even natural navigation technology seem futile. So, what is the solution for this problem?
The answer is SAEVK – first ever Human Guided Load Carrier. It is first of its kind Human Guided Vehicle or a Human Following load carrier, which is meant to reduce your efforts.
