Toyota Material Handling: Automated Guided Container Transport System

AGV handles container transport in storage yards The automated guided container transport system AGV automates transport work in storage yards by leveraging software technology to help synchronize and optimize overall loading and unloading operations. Its deployment system enables efficient dispatch of AGVs in conjunction with other cargo-handling equipment—such as gantry cranes—in operation at the container yard by reducing idle time. The supplier also offers AGVs capable of handling loads from 250 to 10,000 pounds that follow a self-adhesive magnetic tape for simple set-up with no floor modifications. Features include multiple path programming, retractable towing pin, remote communication, and multiple safety components including optical sensors that can be programmed for different zones to allow safe operation near pedestrians and in confined spaces.
