Economical AGV Multi-layer Storage System

You have heard about AGV technology. You know it can move material automatically across your workshop. But the price tags of most AGV systems make you hesitate. You wonder if the investment is worth it for a shop of your size. You worry about complex installation and training. So you keep using manual carts, even though you know there must be a better way.

The Economical AGV Multi-Layer Storage System is designed for shops like yours. It is the most affordable way to add AGV material flow to your production line. The system works with standard AGV carts. The AGV brings raw material to the magazine. The magazine stores it in layers. The robot picks parts as needed. When parts are finished, the AGV takes them to the next station. This is the same workflow used by big factories. But the price is within reach for a small or medium shop.

A customer in Zhejiang runs a hardware shop with 12 CNC machines and 4 robots. They had three workers pushing carts of parts across the workshop all day. The workers walked over 10 kilometers each shift. They were tired and often late. Machines waited for material. The owner bought three of our Economical AGV Multi-Layer Storage Systems and three AGV carts. The three material movers were moved to quality inspection and packaging. The owner told us the system paid for itself in eight months just from labor savings. The machines never wait for material anymore.

This system keeps things simple. The control uses a Guangdong Gumei PLC with a 7-inch touch screen. The lift uses Inovance servo motors with Shinpo reducers. Positioning accuracy is ±0.25 mm. The frame is made of standard steel sections welded together. There are no complex or expensive parts. This keeps the cost low and the reliability high. The working temperature range is -10°C to 45°C. Installation is quick. Just place the magazine, connect power, and set up the AGV path. Most shops are running within one day.
