The APS Add On: Automated guided vehicle system extends the Agile Production Simulation (APS) with an additional automated guided vehicle system (AGV). This is responsible for intralogistics within APS and enables agile and flexible processes. The additional AGV significantly increases the possibilities of intralogistics. Parallelization and prioritization in the production workflow can be planned, tested and experienced. At the same time, the complexity of logistics processes increases.
The automated guided vehicle system uses ultrasonic sensors, line sensors, pushbuttons and a phototransistor to orient itself within the Agile Production Simulation. The initial integration into the Agile Production Simulation is described in the documentation and takes just a few minutes.
The Mecanum Omniwheels enable multidirectional driving and therefore space-saving and effective transportation of workpieces within the Agile Production Simulation. The AGV receives its driving commands from the central control unit of the Agile Production Simulation in the industry standard VDA 5050. The AGV uses a fischertechnik 8.4V 1800mAh battery pack as its power supply. When the battery reaches a defined low level, the AGV automatically moves to the integrated charging station.
When the additional AGV is used, additional learning content is activated in the Digital Learning Platform.
The additional automated guided vehicle (AGV) unlocks further learning content in the Digital Learning Platform. Both theory modules and additional tasks in the “Agile manufacturing” learning module are unlocked. These deal with agile intralogistics as well as parallelization and prioritization of the production workflow.
