Task
Goods are transported automatically from sources to sinks. The AGV moves along predefined routes.
Implementation
Vehicle
Linde P250 BR5007 vehicles were equipped with automationtechnology for the transport task.
Job creation
Job creation via amaster control systemhas the advantagethat the transportorders can begenerated from theinternal goods management system.Alternatively, a local soſtware of the vehicle can take over thecontrol of the orders. Manual specifications are then requiredfor order generation.

Navigation
Transport between the pick-up and drop-off points takes placealong predefined routes. Surrounding navigation is realized bya laser scanner on the AGV. Transponder markers, GPS and cameranavigation can also be used.
Speed
Technically, speeds of over 10 km/h are possible. In practice,only 5 or 6 km/h are oſten achieved due to weather conditionsand the type of trailer (brake yes/no?). Thedecisive factor here is the risk and hazardanalysis.
Automatic coupling and uncoupling
The trailers to be uncoupled are positioned atthe marked positions at creep speed. For precisecoupling, the AGV uses the rear-facingsafety scanner to “aim” at the drawbar eyemarked with marks. The status of the coupling pin is monitoredby a roller lever switch so that a signal is sent to the vehiclewhen the trailer coupling is released.
Safety
A comprehensive safety concept, derived from risk and hazardanalyses, guarantees operation free of personal injury andmaterial damage.
