AGV Technology Advancements: Compact Design and Space Efficiency

Instead than focusing on the product itself, smart management focuses on the consumer, which is an important change from previous approaches. The need to reduce staff, improve time efficiency, and deploy new labor management systems is crucial in the global logistics industry.

To achieve smart logistics, people must collaborate, which involves the establishment of a strategic partner ecosystem. Collaboration with well-known companies such as Nidec, a skilled electrical component maker, and Acepillar, an automation integration service provider. This collaboration enabled the equipment-level integration of specialized driving units for AGV. This achievement not only aids in the reduction of driving units, but it also establishes precise movements, reducing the complexity of adjustment operations greatly.

The dispatch system, which determines the best route for shipping and how many things to place where, is an important component of this smart logistics design. To complete the process, the digitization of logistics via a smart logistics management system enables careful monitoring of item delivery status and following equipment maintenance.

This solution overcomes time-consuming challenges in plant storage logistics by seamlessly integrating, regulating, and analyzing massive amounts of data. It brings the Internet of Things (IoT) to life in the field of smart transportation.

 Connectivity, Data-Driven Operations, and Consumer Responsiveness

As AGV technology advances, there is a trend toward component shrinking. In response to this trend, Nidec Corporation's drive unit not only has a thinner design than the typical market, but it also occupies less space. Its patented novel design allows a single controller to manage two drive units, allowing AGV to take up less space.

This technology is suitable for electric carts, handling devices, AGVs, and related machinery. The drive unit is a complete system that contains a motor, gearbox, and drive driver and is designed to function with AGVs. The engine, gearbox, and wheel outer contour are all combined into a single design, and the unit can be linked with tires. It is a plug-and-play solution that makes the drive unit smaller and more configurable without requiring extensive adjustments.
