360° environment perception for AGVs/IGVs
The combined use of a LiDAR sensor and 3D snapshot (TOF camera) functionality for the front and rear area, along with ultrasonic sensors for protecting the sides of the automated guided vehicle (AGV) and intelligent guided vehicle (IGV) delivers an efficient 360° allround protection. A mobile gateway transmits the process and localization data to the central data management system of the port terminal. By evaluating the data from all vehicles, a comprehensive picture of the position and status of every AGV in the port terminal can be obtained.
