JBT Corporation: Hybrid Navigation System for AGVs

Hybrid navigation system lets AGVs travel through different facility environments The addition of a hybrid navigation system that enables an automatic guided vehicle to use more than one means of guidance to travel throughout a facility optimizes vehicle performance for better productivity. When the vehicle encounters a new area of a building—characterized by different floors, walls and ceilings—the navigation system automatically switches by pre-programmed command to accommodate that area. This enables seamless movement of finished goods from the end of the production line to storage areas in a warehouse, for example, with no pause in AGV travel.
