This method is easily affected by personnel and equipment in actual production, and is prone to safety accidents during transportation. At the same time, the production progress of the production line will be affected because the transportation equipment cannot be in place in time, which seriously affects the advancement of the workstation production plan; In the prior art, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are used as transportation tools. AGVs are industrial vehicles that load goods automatically or manually, automatically drive along a set route or pull a cargo trolley to a designated location, and then load and unload goods automatically or manually. AGVs can only truly function if they are combined with automated guidance systems, automated loading and unloading systems, communication systems, safety systems, and management systems to form an automated guided vehicle system in accordance with the requirements of automation, flexibility, and punctuality in material handling operations.
