| Summary: | This study is about material handling system, AGV robot. AGVs are material handling system that used automated vehicles which are programmed to move materials or goods.This study focus on; concept and operation of AGV; AGVs contribution in productivity and flexibility of the operations; importance of AGVs in the industry; disadvantages and advantages of AGVs. Concepts that are applied
in AGVs operation are Just in Time (JIT) and
Kaizen.AGVs operations involved are sensing
system; magnet tape and AGV routing. AGV is a
machine that really helps not only in manufacturing industry, but also in services industry.They can improve the production line, reduce overall cost of production, increase employee satisfaction, and maintain employee motivation all at the same time. AGVs also can maintain quality and reduce labor cost. |
