Examples
- 01An AGV follows a magnetic tape on the floor to bring full pallets from the press line to the warehouse every 6 minutes.
- 02The AGV's position and status signals are integrated into the warehouse control system, so missions are assigned automatically.
- 03Standard AGV diagnostics on the controller screen show the error code and location, which cuts troubleshooting time from 30 to 5 minutes.
