The Basics of Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems

Applications: Light Load

Light load AGVS applications are used in light manufacturing processes. The product can be distributed from a small parts storage area to individual workstations where operators do light assembly. The AGVS system can be driven by product demand at the various assembly stations. The light load AGVS is smaller and has only a several hundred pound capacity. It is ideal for moving small parts in trays or baskets and for maneuvering in very small, tight areas. Electronic fabrication, small assembly manufacturing and parts kitting applications are proper uses for light loads AGVS.
