[0002] AGV logistics refers to the use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to achieve logistics activities such as automatic handling, sorting, and transportation of goods. AGV logistics systems can improve logistics operation efficiency through digitalization, intelligence, and automation technology, and can also reduce labor costs and improve the accuracy and safety of goods handling. AGV logistics systems have been widely used in many warehouses, production workshops, and logistics scenarios.

[0003] AGV can be divided into different types, including guided AGV, laser navigation AGV, vision navigation AGV, etc. Each type of AGV has its own characteristics and applicable scenarios.

[0004] AGV logistics is widely used in warehousing, manufacturing, medical, food industry, etc. In warehousing, AGV can automatically carry out the handling, loading, unloading and storage of goods; in manufacturing, AGV can supply materials and transport products on the production line; in the medical industry, AGV can be used for the distribution and transportation of medicines and equipment.

[0005] The AGV logistics system has many characteristics and advantages. First, it can realize unmanned operation, save labor costs, and improve work efficiency and safety. Secondly, AGV has automatic navigation and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and can accurately carry out transportation in complex environments. In addition, the AGV logistics system can also be seamlessly integrated with other equipment and systems to realize the digitization and intelligence of the logistics chain.

[0006] The intelligent flexible manufacturing workshop realizes discrete and complex mixed-line production of multiple varieties and small batches. The logistics distribution adopts the AGV automated logistics system for real-time tracking, and the AGV intelligent management and control system manages the logistics transportation to realize the automatic handling of pallet goods in the storage warehouse, and the rapid transfer and transportation of goods to different docking stations for entry and exit of goods.
