An Indispensable Part of the AGV Robot as a Smart Factory

At present, Chinese society has entered a new stage of development: the increase in population mobility, the increase in individualized demand, and the gradual entry into an aging society. All of this is forcing a rapid transformation of the manufacturing industry. For the internal logistics industry, it will bring disruptive changes, but it is also a great opportunity. In fact, the fundamental goals of China's "Made in China 2025" and Germany's "Industry 4.0" are the same: flexible production, adapting to small batch, multi-variety, user-customized production models; real-time processing, recording, and transmission of production data; Real-time communication and task execution between the material management system and intelligent production logistics equipment; reducing labor intensity and increasing labor productivity of workers; saving energy and reducing consumption, and reducing carbon emissions.

Domestic and foreign internal logistics equipment manufacturers and end customers in the manufacturing industry are actively making beneficial attempts. Internationally, Europe, especially Germany, which puts forward the goal of Industry 4.0, is well-established in this regard, with many R&D investments and the highest level of technology. "Industry, study, and research" are closely integrated. The research and development of logistics equipment is closely linked with the development of the concept of manufacturing logistics management to achieve lean management of production processes. SEW's new intelligent assembly plant in Germany uses many tailor-made logistics equipment, new automation system frameworks, and IT system interface modules to perfectly illustrate this point for different production processes. In China, due to the rapid increase in labor costs, the enthusiasm of manufacturing terminal customers to use various automated logistics equipment is high, and the domestic (internal) logistics equipment industry has developed rapidly, and the variety, performance, and quality of equipment have improved rapidly. However, due to the late start, there is still a need for learning and improvement in terms of product design concepts and system stability.

In the traditional domestic manufacturing industry, the production mode of many companies is based on large-scale production, which reduces costs and increases product competitiveness by matching with batch production. Internal logistics equipment generally uses fixed conveyor equipment. The so-called automation and intelligent upgrading of manufacturing industry is actually aimed at meeting the needs of the future manufacturing industry for the transformation of small-batch, multi-species, custom-made, and high-value-added production models. The image is that the original L-type production line with one process and one process needs to be transformed into an independent island-type production line. The production workers will flow between the island-type production lines according to different product requirements. At this time, the original fixed delivery The device must be replaced by an AGV robot. AGV needs to issue instructions according to the ERP system to complete parts extraction, auxiliary assembly, and finished product delivery. Therefore, in the high-end manufacturing industry in the future, AGV has a wide range of applications and great market potential, playing a very important role.

Different domestic industries have different requirements for AGV robots. For automobile assembly and engine assembly workshops, AGV is used as part of the production line to transport products between processes. The number of AGVs is large, and sometimes it needs to be coordinated with other automation equipments for system scheduling and system stability. Repeated positioning accuracy is required for vehicles and vehicles. For most manufacturing companies in transition, the use of AGVs is still in its infancy. It is mainly used for material handling between warehouses and production lines or between production lines, and replaces the traditional forklifts and ground cows that require human operations. With the proposal of "Made in China 2025", many companies have considered AGV as part of the construction of an intelligent plant, integrated with the assembly process and ERP system.

Nowadays, there are many AGV manufacturers and the competition is fierce. However, as I mentioned earlier: the scheduling system for multiple vehicles, the body design with space requirements, and the precision driving technology for bicycles still have certain technical thresholds. SEW has strong research and development capabilities and has a number of innovative technologies and products with independent intellectual property rights, such as variable frequency and servo drive technology, contactless Power Supply products, EBUFFER energy management technology, Kinematic multi-axis motion control platform, MOVISION vehicle operation simulation and Scheduling management system. An overall AGV drive and control solution from hardware to software can be provided to help customers solve complex process requirements.

With the wide application of AGV products in the manufacturing industry, AGV's power supply technology, navigation technology, and body design for different operational and functional requirements will be AGV's future technological development direction. Because AGV products have the characteristics of being easy to use, flexible, and occupying less site space, AGV will be widely used in various links such as production processes and logistics transportation as China's manufacturing transformation and upgrading and intelligent plant construction.
