The solution goes beyond basic safety functions. It also provides technologies for orientation, signaling and drive systems, together with options for supporting AGV control. This makes it possible to centrally stop an entire fleet of AGVs through a secure emergency-stop signal when necessary. Communication and control can be implemented through different networks and technologies, including LAN, Wi-Fi and 5G.

Comprehensive AGV Safety and Control Functions

Essential safety functions required for AGV applications can be implemented with Bihl+Wiedemann safety technology without requiring a separate safety controller. Functions such as connecting safety laser scanners, integrating E-stop buttons and safely monitoring position and speed can be handled within the safety solution.

In addition to safety-related applications, the system provides a selection of functional modules for other AGV requirements. These can include visual or acoustic signaling, drive control and additional assistance with the overall AGV control system.

This combination allows manufacturers and operators to build a more integrated AGV solution while reducing the complexity associated with implementing separate systems for individual functions.

A Broad Selection of Functional Options for Automated Guided Vehicles

AGVs can require very different functions depending on their operating environment, transportation tasks and safety requirements. A flexible technology platform makes it possible to combine the necessary functions according to the specific application.

Whether the focus is on personnel protection, movement monitoring, communication, signaling or vehicle control, the available building blocks can be adapted to create a solution suited to the individual AGV.

Automated Guided Vehicles Designed Around Your Requirements

Every AGV application has its own technical and operational conditions. Discussing these requirements at an early stage makes it easier to identify the appropriate combination of standard and safety functions.

Bihl+Wiedemann can work with customers to determine a suitable solution based on their individual AGV application. A wide range of standard and safety functions is available, while the physical housing can also be optimized to meet the specific installation and design requirements of the vehicle.

This approach makes it possible to create an AGV solution that combines safety, control and practical functionality in a configuration tailored to the intended application.
