Warehouse AGV Development Status and Application Trends

In recent years, with the increase of domestic labor costs year by year and the promotion of the [Made in China 2025" policies, the demand for AGV in China continues to rise. According to industry statistics, in 2017, the number of AGVs in the domestic market was about 13,000, and the growth rate was 30%-40% per year. AGV is attracting attention from all walks of life with its high efficiency and substitution of labor. Its technical level and application range are also rapidly developed by the global technological progress and market demand.

Basic application of AGV

Warehousing industry

The warehousing industry is the earliest application of AGV. In 1954, the world's first AGV was put into operation in the warehouse of Mercury Motor Freight Company in South Carolina, USA for automatic handling of incoming and outgoing goods.There are currently about 20,000 various AGVs operating in 2,100 large and small warehouses around the world. In the three-dimensional warehouse of Haier Group that put into operation in 2000, nine AGVs formed a flexible in-house automatic handling system, successfully completing the daily handling of 23,400 inbound and outbound cargo and parts.

Manufacturing

AGV is a leader in the manufacturing line of production. It can complete material handling tasks efficiently, accurately and flexiblly . And a variety of AGV can form a flexible logistics handling system. The handling route can be adjusted in time with the adjustment of the production process, so that one production line can produce more than ten kinds of products, greatly improving the flexibility of production and the competitiveness of enterprises.
Currently, AGV is widely used in the manufacturing and assembly lines of major automobile factories in the world such as GM, Toyota, Chrysler, and Volkswagen.Taking the automotive industry as an example, the wide application of AGV in the automotive industry has led to a new revolution in the domestic automobile production model.
Taking the automotive industry as an example, the wide application of AGV in the automotive industry has led to a new revolution in the domestic automobile production model. With the development of industrial informatization, the automotive industry's intelligent demand for manufacturing equipment is rising. AGV robots can adapt to the trend of technology flexible, intelligent and informational of modern automobile manufacturing . The production organization, information management and logistics technology of the assembly have achieved a qualitative leap.

Post office, library, port terminal and airport

In post offices, libraries, terminals, airports, etc., the transportation of items has the characteristics of large changes in workload, strong dynamics, frequent adjustment of work processes, and single handling process. AGV's characteristics of parallel operation, automation, intelligence and flexibility can well meet the handling requirements of the upper case.
