Abstract

Automated Guided Vehicle system (AGVs) has been utilized for an extended period, particularly in the context of Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Among the different techniques for Automated Guided vehicle the research work focuses on the Rail Guided Vehicle (RGV) Technique. This method is commonly associated with Material Handling system (MHs) and is relatively straightforward to understanding. The study demonstrates how vehicles are identified to move parts between stations in the layout through the application of AGVs, with potential for application in related methods in the future. In addition, the data monitored by the AGVs process will be displayed on the runtime. Finally, this match with the desired result of output data to the AGVs progress.
