A modified particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach is presented for the multi-mode resource-constrained scheduling problem of automated guided vehicle (AGV) tasks. Various constraints in process AGV system are analysed, and types quantities AGVs as allocable resources considered. The multiple-AGV combined distribution mode its impact on tasks also Finally, a task model established which obje...

This paper describes work done as part of the Oxford AGV (Autonomous Guided Vehicle) project [2] towards recognition of classes of objects to be encountered in a factory environment. \Ye address the problem of recognising an object from range-data observations as an instance of a parametric model class, and determining the values of the class parameters for that instance of the model, and the p...

This demonstration aims to show the decentralized coordination of the navigation system of highly autonomous Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) integrated in a real industrial environment. These vehicles are used for goods delivery tasks between different points of the production system. The navigation part consists on calculating and following the trajectory to reach the goal, which is calculate...

In this paper, we study the design and control of automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems, with the focus on the quayside container transport in an automated container terminal. We first set up an event-driven model for an AGV system in the zone control framework. Then a number of layouts of the road network (guide-path) are carefully designed for the workspace of the AGVs in a container termina...

This paper approaches the issue of coordination of highly autonomous Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) working on an automated factory. These vehicles are used for goods delivery tasks between di erent points of the production system. The coordination is based on a decentralized architecture where each vehicle broadcasts the information about its state in the working environment, and by combinin...

he aim of the project is to build an assembly station with the preventive section under the process of poke yoke system. Poke yoke is the general methodology following in industry to avoid mismatching product in assembly stations. The main aim of this project is to avoid assembling process when the sequential procedure is not followed. The project also deals with AGV – Automatic Guided Vehicle....

Abstract In order to solve the problem of AGV fault detection system’s complexion and low accuracy, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on status monitoring diagnosis method for automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is proposed. Firstly, vibration signals core components are converted into two-dimensional (2D) images. Secondly, 2D images input convolution training. Finally, trained model used m...

. Object-oriented modelling provides a new point of view to focus a flexible manufacturing system using organized models similar to the Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) presented in this paper which composed by Flexible Manufacture Modules (FMMs) and an automated guided vehicle (AGV). The implemented FMC working with revolution specimens, with predetermined measures length, are composed mainly...

We consider a manufacturing system that uses Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) for material handling. Increasing the capacity of the AGVs used can lead to increased throughput and reduced inventory-holding costs. However, AGVs are typically expensive. Hence modeling the economics of buying an additional vehicle is an important problem from the standpoint of making a system lean. Optimization of ...

We designed and implemented a fork-type automatic guided vehicle (AGV) with a laser guidance system. Most previous AGVs have used two types of guidance systems: magnetgyro and wire guidance. However, these guidance systems have high costs, are difficult to maintain with changes in the operating environment, and can drive only a pre-determined path with installed sensors. A laser guidance system...
