Overview
SensorApp for identifying the position and orientation of dollies
Before an AGV system lifts a dolly, accurate identification of the position and orientation of the dolly is required for fine positioning of the vehicle. The Dolly Positioning SensorApp is perfectly suited for this. It processes the raw data on the position and orientation of the dolly and then transmits corner coordinates to the controller of the AGV system. The app is installed on the Visionary-T Mini AP from SICK. That means no external computing capacity is required. Configuration is possible without any programming knowledge. Dolly Positioning is based on the SICK AppSpace eco-system. There are two ways to get the app: Either as a single license or by purchasing a Visionary-T Mini AP from SICK which has the app preinstalled.
