Intelligent AGV central dispatching system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent AGV central dispatching system, and belongs to the field of AGVs. The system comprises an intelligent processing unit, a communication module, a positioning module and a plurality of AGV trolleys, wherein the intelligent processing unit comprises a task management module, and a route planning module, a storage module and a traffic management module which areelectrically connected with the task management module; the AGV trolleys are equipped with vehicle control modules; the task management module is used for receiving transportation demand information of materials and selecting the AGV trolleys within a certain range of material receiving points according to the positioning information of the positioning module; the route planning module preforms route planning on the AGV trolleys and sends a route planning result to the task management module; the task management module selects the AGV trolleys with the best travel route to transport the materials; the storage module is used for storing the traveling route of the AGV trolleys; and the traffic management module is used for collision avoidance control of a plurality of the AGV trolleys. The system has reasonable design and less manual intervention, can effectively reduce the congestion of the AGV trolleys, and has the function of improving the transportation efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of AGVs, in particular to an intelligent AGV central dispatching system and method. Background technique [0002] Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV for short) refers to a transport vehicle equipped with automatic guidance devices such as electromagnetic or optical, capable of driving along a prescribed guiding path, with safety protection and various transfer functions. The driver's van uses a rechargeable battery as its power source. [0003] Under normal circumstances, when the dispatching system receives the transportation demand, it will directly send transportation information to the vehicle control system on an idle AGV car closest to the transportation starting point, directly plan the transportation route for it, and carry out the transportation of materials. [0004] However, this scheduling method does not take into account whether the AGV car transportation journey is the best and whether the time-consuming is...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Aiming at the problems of AGV trolley concentration caused by the nearby distribution of transportation tasks in the existing AGV dispatching system in the prior art, resulting in congestion and collisions, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent AGV central dispatching system
