The position monitoring system of automated guided vehicle (AGV) in the industrial production process

Abstract

Robots are needed to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the company. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is one of many varieties of industrial robots carrying loads to where we want to be. The wide areas within industrial company inflict the monitoring of production processes to be inadequate. This research discusses the design and implementation of the position monitoring system of AGV. The monitoring system applies wireless communication using Xbee Module. There are two systems: the AGV and user system. The AGV system discussed about the movement control using Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) while the user system discussed about data processing obtained from the AGV system became position coordinate. The results showed the movement of AGV that can be monitored well.
