AGV Guidance Technology
SmartCart® Magnetic Tape/Bar Guidance: AGV’s use magnetic tape or bar as guidance technology for simple or complex systems. This allows customers to deploy solid AGV systems that can seamlessly and robustly accommodate the complex environments of modern manufacturing.
AGV Navigation Technologies
Natural Feature Navigation (NFN): Environmental object data is collected by on-vehicle sensors and used by the AGV to navigate its path routine and location.
Laser Navigation: A field of reflective targets seen by on-vehicle sensors and used by the vehicle’s computer determine the AGV’s location and navigational directions.
Inertial Navigation: Odometry data and in-floor waypoints are used by the vehicle’s computer to determine location and navigational directions.
Enhanced Navigation: Additional sensors can be added to augment ay of the AGV’s navigation technologies.
Co-Navigation Technology: The use of multiple navigation packages on a AGV for challenging environments.
