Heavy Duty AGV for Heavy Load Material Handling

What is a Heavy-Duty AGV?

A heavy-duty AGV is an intelligent material handling vehicle capable of transporting heavy loads—such as molds, transformers, steel coils, and large-scale equipment—with minimal human intervention.

At PEISA, heavy-duty AGVs are divided into two main categories:

1. Fully Automated Heavy-Duty AGVs: Primarily used in smart warehouses and workshops equipped with their own dispatch systems. Commands are sent through the dispatch system, enabling unmanned and autonomous operation. Key features: No human intervention is required; the vehicle is controlled by the dispatch system.

2. Semi-Automated Heavy-Duty AGVs: Designed for factories without a central dispatch system. Commands are issued through an onboard display or a call station at a designated location. Once loading or unloading is completed, a worker at the station sends a command, and the vehicle automatically travels to the next workstation.

3. Regardless of whether they operate fully automatically or semi-automatically, these vehicles rely on magnetic strip navigation.

What functions can these AGVs perform?

1. Trackless movement: Relies on magnetic strip navigation and requires no modification to the facility layout.

2. Reduced labor requirements: Helps reduce labor costs.

3. Intelligent dispatch: Integrates with factory automation systems, allowing vehicles to automatically plan routes based on production tasks.

4. Customization: Load capacity and dimensions can be customized according to specific requirements.

1-Ton AGV for a Food Processing Plant:

This is a 1-ton-capacity AGV designed for use in a cleanroom environment to transport finished food products. The vehicle follows a 40-meter magnetic strip to transport finished products to the loading area, where a forklift then transfers them to the warehouse, completing the material handling process.
