What are the conditions for choosing AGV car or AGC?

The control of AGV is quite complicated, and there are special algorithms from the walking attitude to the scheduling management of multiple vehicles. The AGC is much simpler, and a PLC can do it. At present, the price of domestic laser-guided AGV (single-wheel drive type) is about 450,000 yuan with cadmium-nickel battery, about 400,000 yuan with lead-acid battery, tape guidance, electromagnetic guidance due to control technology and control device. They are relatively simple and the price is much cheaper. The price of an AGC, which is only used for handling, dragging, and not requiring high-level dispatch, is about 100,000 yuan. Because of the significant differences in the price of functional roots, users should carefully analyze the requirements to determine AGV or AGC before implementing the project. Combining the technical characteristics of the two, AGC can be selected when the following conditions are met at the same time.
1. A single path. That is, there is no branch in the loop of the AGV operation, a single loop.
2. A fixed process. That is, the AGV repeats the same action for each task cycle, that is, the position order of each cycle stop point is constant. For example, AGV may need to stop at three points A, B, and C in the cycle. Then A, B, and C are the order of AGV parking. AGV cannot directly go from point A to point C. At point B, whether or not there is work. Have to stop. Of course, a fixed process refers to a preset process, and there may be multiple. But in any case, the process is artificially pre-aware, pre-set, rather than the calculation of the upper computer according to the scheduling strategy.
3, the guidance and positioning accuracy of the AGV is not high, just AGV to transport the goods to the approximate location.
4. No transfer mechanism is required, usually by manual loading, unloading or using drag-and-drop AGC.
In addition, there are multiple branches, multiple loops, complex paths with merged and shunted flows, variable processes, high positioning requirements, and more complicated loading and unloading tasks. , you should choose AGV.
A high-quality AGV system should have the following conditions: high-quality body structure and mechanical, electronic, communication facilities, easy to operate, easy to configure, easy to expand and powerful control system (such as Swedish ATAB company and SoftDesign cooperation research and development) The MAX system is the representative of the world's most advanced AGV control system), precision positioning system, powerful drive system, reliable safety system, and better appearance.
