What Are The Advantages Of Using AGV Driver?

AGV drivers are commonly thought as simple machine that performs simple tasks. However, over the last decade, AGV became integrated into various industries apart from distribution and manufacturing like retail, military and healthcare.

AGV drive unit is not a good fit for every industry and set of operations.    In order to determine whether they are right for you take a look at the major benefits using AGV.

What are AGVs?

It is a self-guided vehicle that relies on wireless routing, video, and proximity sensors. It helps to navigate the environment. AGV offers high efficiency to reduce energy cost and increase battery life. Automation and IoT technology makes them auditable for logistic management.

In fact, advanced systems comes with data analytic, tracking, and manufacturing ability to save money and keep better track of inventory.

It Helps To Reduce Labor Cost

AGV reduces labor costs in your operation in various ways. It helps to replace human worker – as a result, businesses can pay single expenses for equipment – the initial investment and ongoing costs that could come with new hire like healthcare coverage, payroll taxes, salary increases, vacation and more.

Better Safety

AGVs are typically programmed with safety – it is developed with full of cameras, laser and other sensor. It allows them to safely operate around personnel and structures. On the other hand, equipment run by human operators do not have built-in safety mechanism and rely on human input. Human operators have the potential to become distracted or fatigued. Hence, it cause accident however, by using AGVs, one can mitigate the issues.

In addition, AGV can operate in various conditions that humans won’t be able to operate. Well, humans don’t operate optimally in extreme heat and cold or even around hazardous materials. It increases safety leads and reduce operational downtime that can ultimately increase profitability in operations.

Modularity

Since the operations expand it is easy to add additional AGCs in the system. It allows you to avoid high initial investment – instead purchasing 20 or 30 AGVs; you can start with one or two transition and then expand your fleet to an automated operation.
