General introduction: AGV or Autonomous Guided Robot AGV (English: Automation Guided Vehicle) is a vehicle specifically designed to be used in the transportation of goods, finished products, materials, etc., in an automatic form.

Benefits of AGVs:

  • AGVs are mainly used in smart factories and warehouses, thereby helping businesses improve production efficiency.
  • Reduced labor costs: AGVs can transport large volumes of goods and operate independently with little human intervention.
  • Improve labor productivity: AGV vehicles can operate continuously 24/7 and have high accuracy, ensuring the transportation process without errors or errors.

Safe anti-collision technology using SCANDRID2
