Automatic Guided Vehicle

possible applications for local businesses and workplaces

Similar projects worth following
I am hoping to test my AGV at either my workplace (I work at a printed circuit board manufacturer) or my brother's (he works at a local HVAC shop). Originally my idea was to have the AGV move the trash to the back dock by towing a self-dumping forklift hopper on swivel casters or deliver 4 poly drums (tops cut off) on a pallet staged at a convenient location and pick up a pallet with 4 full trash drums, move to the back dock then forklifted into the dumpster. Another possibility is having the AGV resupply material. I would have to construct a pick-up & delivery platform that the AGV could drive under attach itself to and move from the back dock to the material storage area. the issue is the best possible guide path has steel plate flooring, the AGV has a magnetic guidance system so the electromagnetic properties of the flooring will interfere with the guidance system. I am considering reflected UV light as an alternative guidance system. hope to fund future projects with this

Special Thanks to Lance from Olympus Controls for hooking me up with sticker's!!!
