An Automated Guided Vehicle, also known as an Autonomous Guided Vehicle, Self-Guided Vehicle, or Mobile Robot, is a kind of automated handling vehicle. AGV is an intelligent handling system composed of multiple 自动导引车 with different intelligent system settings and multiple handling equipment. They can transport goods or materials in a factory environment without manual operation or driving. Commonly used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, or distribution centres. This article will introduce different types of AGV. Please read on.

不同类型的自动导引车

自动导引车有许多不同类型，每种类型都是为满足不同的物料搬运需求和工作环境而设计的。下面我们将介绍 AGV 自动导引车的常见类型

自动导引车（AGC）

自动导引小车是 AGV 的最简单形式，功能单一，通常是点对点运输，不具备起重和装配等功能。它们通常沿着预定的路径或磁性轨道行驶。它们通常用于运输较小的货物或物品，如装配线上的组件或零件，或搬运工具、废料和设备。它们是

自动模具无轨搬运车

模具无轨自动搬运车的运行路径可根据仓库位置要求、生产工艺流程等灵活改变，与传统的传送带和刚性传输线相比，运行路径改变的成本非常低。AGV 通常配有装卸机构，可与其他物流设备自动对接，实现货物和物料装卸全过程的自动化。

拖曳自动制导飞行器 AGV

Towed Automated Guided Vehicle, commonly used for automated towing, trailers, or other wheeled equipment. They are fitted with hooks or couplers for attachment and transport. Towed AGV are often used when there is a need to move several smaller loads of equipment at the same time, or to haul different materials for handling transfers. For example, to transport materials to a production line.

在重型货物装卸方面，我们拥有重型卡车和 AGV，可以装卸大型装配部件、重型铸件和卷材、钢材加工、重型机械和其他重型工业货物装卸工作。

There are also models with self-loading capabilities and advanced steering options (standard, pivot, or omni-directional) to navigate handling in confined spaces and complex industrial environments.

混合动力自动导引车 AGV

Hybrid Automated Guided Vehicle combines AGV technology with manual operation. They can operate autonomously, following pre-programmed paths, or be manually operated when required. Hybrid AGVs are useful in flexible and complex work environments where material handling can be operated both automatically and manually.

自动导引车机器人

自主移动机器人（AMR），如自动导引车（AGV）自动导引车是一种自动导引车机器人，乍一看与 AGV 非常相似。但是，它们的运行方式却不同。

AMR 比 AGV 更为先进，因为它们配备了传感器和摄像头，能够实时检测周围环境并与之互动。它们不依赖于预定义的路径，类似于智能汽车使用 GPS 的导航方式。这意味着 AMR 可以避开障碍物，根据需要重新规划路线，并适应工作环境的变化。

当然，我们还有 Heavy-Duty Automated Guided Vehicle, Explosion-Proof Automated Guided Vehicle, and Cold Chain Automated Guided Vehicle, which are customised according to different working environments and special requirements.

FAQ About AGV Automated Guided Vehicle

Q1: What is the Difference Between RGV and AMR?

A1: RGVs operate along fixed paths, typically navigating via magnetic strips, tracks or QR codes. They are suited to scenarios involving fixed routes, heavy loads and high-frequency transport. AMRs possess high intelligence, perceiving their environment in real time and autonomously planning routes. They are ideal for complex, dynamic factory or warehouse environments.

Q2: Which AGV is Suitable for Heavy-Duty Material Handling?

A2: For heavy-duty material handling, heavy-load AGVs or rail-guided equipment such as heavy-duty AGVs or RGVs are generally recommended. These systems feature enhanced load-bearing capacity and stable operational structures, making them suitable for transporting large-tonnage components like moulds, steel structures, and castings.

Q3: What Applications are tow-type AGVs Suitable for?

A3: Tow-type AGVs are employed to simultaneously transport multiple small transfer carts or trailers. They are well-suited for scenarios such as production line material distribution and internal warehouse transfers, enhancing logistics efficiency while reducing manual intervention.

Q4: What are the Advantages of Hybrid AGVs?

A4: Hybrid AGVs combine automated operation with manual control modes, making them suitable for scenarios with fluctuating production rhythms or complex working conditions. They can execute standard transport tasks autonomously while switching to manual control during exceptional circumstances, thereby enhancing system flexibility.

Q5: How should one select the Appropriate AGV Type for a Factory?

A5: When selecting AGVs, careful consideration must be given to load capacity, operational routes, automation level, and future expansion requirements. Fixed routes and heavy-load scenarios are better suited to traditional AGVs or RGVs, while complex environments and multi-path requirements favour AMRs.
