Navigation, localization and line guidance

SICK offers a variety of different solutions for localizing and line guidance of small AGVs (carts). Depending on the prevailing ambient conditions and the specific requirements on the respective transport task, different physical sensor technologies are suited for the guidance of vehicles in a predefined line. No matter if the guiding line is magnetic or optical - the quick and easy commissioning of all solutions speaks for itself. Raster- and contour-based localization solutions offer the advantage of absolute position determination, which is the basic prerequisite for free navigation especially with dynamic route guidance.
