In recent years, with industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing becoming the mainstream, the AGV profession has ushered in an important development opportunity. So far, AGV has gradually spread and has been deeply used in many fields such as factory transfer and warehousing logistics. Not only that, but in the case of continuous upgrading of technology and continuous maturity of application, AGV will also achieve greater space for development.
Material transfer in the factory or as a mobile channel is one of the earliest "operations" of AGV. In many factories, AGVs have a "place to use" because of the need to transfer materials or products repeatedly. In these operations, the basic function of AGV is to reciprocate from point A to point B, C, D, etc., to save labor and time costs, and improve the transfer of power.
In the future, AGV is expected to complete an all-round speed-up, not only to improve accuracy, but also to switch between various tasks more quickly, together with the identification of loads will also be enhanced, and may have the anthropomorphic function of independent recall and self-learning.
Warehousing and logistics: the "new workhorse" of logistics automation
In March 2012, Amazon acquired Kiva Systems, an automated robotics company, to make the sorting process more intelligent. Kiva Systems primarily produces Kiva robots, which are typical shelf sorting AGVs, using Kiva robots only need the main robot operation system to select the type of products for sorting and packaging, and after issuing the order, the robot can find the shelves of the desired product location through the optimal route, and then move the shelves as a whole to the operation table of the main location of the robot, which is convenient for the robot owner to scan the code for sorting and packaging operations, and the "goods to person" mode is useful to improve the sorting power. At present, AGV is mainly used in the field of warehousing and logistics for the sorting and transfer of goods. The use of AGV in this category in China is Shentong's "Minion". Previously, the method of manual sorting was selected, and the storage center often needed to be equipped with a large number of employees, and the sorting power was difficult to improve, and it was often too busy to meet important activity periods. After the use of AGV robots, not only greatly reduced the labor cost, but also improved the express sorting power, completing a win-win situation.
Therefore, in the future, warehousing and logistics will be one of the primary application scenarios of AGV, and it will be further upgraded in the fields of quilting, sorting, and transportation, continue to improve the operation power, and even participate in the business side of short-distance delivery. Relevant data show that in 2016, the scale of intelligent logistics shopping malls has reached 200 billion yuan, and it is expected to exceed one trillion by 2025.
Parking equipment: an emerging application scenario for "uncertain solutions".
In the past two years, the automation and intelligence of parking lots have also been rapidly developed, and AGV is the "protagonist" in the process. Many parking equipment has been selected by AGV robots, which not only completes the high degree of automation of the parking process, but also optimizes the limited parking space and plans more parking spaces to solve the problem of urban parking difficulties. However, due to issues such as construction cost, operating cost and development concept, it is still a question mark whether AGV parking lots can be widely used in the future. However, it is undeniable that AGV provides a new choice for the transformation of parking equipment, and it is a new direction that is definitely worth testing.
Port transportation: the most growing career in the future
Similar to the operations of factories and storage centers, the primary operation of AGVs in ports is also automated transportation. However, the application of AGV in the port has only begun, and with the development of port automation, AGV has been gradually applied to this scene. At present, the fourth phase of the world's largest container automation terminal, the Yangshan Deepwater Port Area of Shanghai International Shipping Center, has entered the late stage of construction, and will open for trial operation in December this year. Compared with the traditional wharf, the biggest highlight of the Yangshan Phase IV project is the initial selection of automation equipment and control system, which is controlled by computer cranes to load and unload containers, and unmanned AGVs are used to transport containers.
According to the estimation of the New Strategic Robot Industry Research Institute, the demand for AGV trolleys at a single terminal is about 70 units, and the total demand for a single large port in China is estimated at 1,500 units, and the output value of shopping malls is 5-1 billion yuan. As of 2016, there are 15 large ports with a throughput of more than 100 million in China, if the demand for an average of 500 (preservation) AGVs in each large port is calculated, it is 7,500 AGV products, and the output value of the shopping mall will be 20-6 billion yuan. This is only the fifteen major ports with a throughput of more than 100 million, and there are more than 500 freight terminal ports in China. The demand for the mall will rise in a straight line in a short period of time, and gradually stabilize after 5 years. It can be guessed that in the next few years, because of the huge economic and social benefits, the port application will be the most promising occupation of AGV in China.
Guidance Service: The "Almighty King" of Diversified Development
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, service robots with functions such as voice recognition and face recognition have gradually occupied a large number of shopping malls. At present, the AGVs used in the service field mainly include cleaning robots, catering robots, welcome robots, shopping guide robots, etc., which have brought important changes to many professions. In the future, the use of robots will be further accelerated, and with the AGV gradually moving towards higher intelligence, the huge basic advantages will become a solid help for it to continue to broaden the application scenarios, and will invent a wider shopping mall space. Together, it can be seen from this phenomenon that it is very necessary to improve the promotion of common sense about artificial intelligence, which has an important effect on people's understanding of artificial intelligence and preventing "cranky thinking".
Inspection: AGV robots extend special diversified applications
The power station inspection robot is mainly used in the substation on the surface of the room to replace the inspectors for inspection. The robot system carries infrared thermal imager, visible light CCD and other related power station equipment detection devices, and replaces people to inspect outdoor high-voltage equipment by means of autonomy and remote control, so as to timely find the internal thermal shortcomings of power equipment, external mechanical or electrical problems such as foreign bodies, damage, heating, oil leakage, etc., and provide relevant data for diagnosing potential accidents and precursors in the operation of power equipment.
