For a long time, the goal of manufacturing enterprises is to improve production efficiency. In order to further meet this goal, the development of the industry has begun to transform into intelligent manufacturing. The intelligent vertical warehouse improves the space utilization rate, facilitates the formation of an advanced warehousing and logistics system, and improves the production management level of the enterprise. Intelligence has brought new changes to the manufacturing industry, and enterprises are more pursuing flexible and automated production lines. The intelligent warehousing logistics system can be roughly divided into three levels. The upper level is the WMS system, which is responsible for the processing of warehousing business logic. The middle level is the WCS system, which is responsible for equipment control. The lower level is specific logistics equipment, such as the AGV system.

As one of the intelligent warehousing and logistics equipment, the AGV trolley has a wide range of application scenarios. In practical applications, it can adapt to different product characteristics and production processes. The high degree of automation makes it play a key role in the intelligent warehouse. The AGV intelligent dispatching system is developed by using dispatching control algorithms combined with specific scenarios. The docking of the AGV intelligent dispatching system with WMS and other systems can help Rapoo Intelligent Equipment create flexible warehousing and logistics for enterprises, and accelerate the pace of upgrading and transformation of manufacturing factories.

To put it simply, the AGV trolley is a porter who transports materials from A to B. The AGV intelligent dispatching system is a system that can implement central supervision, control and dispatch of multiple AGVs at the same time. It is suitable for transportation with many routes and transportation Application scenarios with complex environments. The main functions of the AGV intelligent scheduling system are AGV task scheduling, status monitoring, path planning, traffic control, and docking with equipment and other IT systems to achieve vehicle management, operation management, call management, and communication management of the AGV system.

In a complete intelligent warehousing and logistics system, the AGV intelligent scheduling system is located in the middle of the upper control system and the lower control system, playing the role of a housekeeper. Which AGV to choose to carry materials and which route the AGV should move along are the tasks of the scheduling system. Once the dispatching system plans the path for the AGV, the on-board controller on the AGV will complete specific tasks according to the instructions. However, if there are multiple AGVs and different navigation methods, the scheduling problem will become very difficult. The more AGVs there are, the more difficult the scheduling will be. Therefore, the number of AGVs that can be dispatched has also become an important indicator for judging whether a dispatching system is powerful.

The AGV intelligent dispatching system can realize centralized dispatching management. After receiving the transportation tasks issued by the production management system or the instructions issued by the pager, it automatically assigns tasks according to the working status and operation status of the AGV. Information, etc. are monitored in real time and displayed on a graphical interface. The system also has a data interface maintenance module, which can customize the data interface to facilitate interaction with MES, ERP and other systems.

The AGV intelligent dispatching system can automatically dispatch the AGV to the nearby charging pile for automatic charging. When the AGV fails, the system can automatically send an instruction to let the AGV go to the maintenance point to wait for maintenance. In addition, the AGV intelligent dispatching system has a complete user management function, which can flexibly set and manage different permissions for multiple users, supports human-computer interaction of multiple clients, and has functions such as AGV working status log query. The AGV intelligent dispatching system can well solve the problem of AGV distribution and control, realize unmanned collaborative operation, and improve the overall efficiency of logistics handling.

The demand for “improving quality, increasing quantity and increasing efficiency” in the Industrial field has been specific to the transformation of the warehousing logistics business model, and the process flow of the logistics production line is also becoming more complex. Therefore, the collaborative management of equipment and system software in the three-dimensional warehouse has become important. AGV systems are widely used in smart warehousing and flexible production lines, and are also an excellent choice for many manufacturing companies to improve production efficiency and reduce business costs.Rapoo Intelligent Equipment will choose an AGV intelligent scheduling system compatible with different navigation methods, coordinate and schedule docking with intelligent storage and logistics equipment, go deep into the scene application of the overall AGV system, customize intelligent storage logistics solutions for customers, and create flexible storage logistics. speed up factoryDigitizing“Smart” makes upgrades.
