• Key Concepts: 
  An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a type of robotic vehicle used in manufacturing and logistics to move materials around a facility. AGVs are programmed to follow predetermined paths and can be used to transport materials between different locations, such as warehouses, production lines, and storage areas. AGVs are typically equipped with sensors that allow them to detect obstacles and adjust their paths accordingly.
  
  How to use it: 
  AGVs can be used in a variety of ways in manufacturing and logistics. They can be used to transport materials between different locations, such as warehouses, production lines, and storage areas. AGVs can also be used to automate the loading and unloading of materials from production lines or storage areas. Additionally, AGVs can be used to monitor the flow of materials within a facility and provide real-time data on the status of materials.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using AGVs, it is important to ensure that the vehicles are properly programmed and maintained. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the AGV’s sensors are functioning properly so that they can detect obstacles and adjust their paths accordingly. Finally, it is important to ensure that the AGV’s path is clear of any obstacles or obstructions that could cause it to malfunction or become stuck.
