automated guided vehicle (AGV)

An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a self-driving vehicle used in various industries to transport materials within a facility. These vehicles follow predetermined paths guided by markers, lasers, or magnets, enabling them to move safely around warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. AGVs help to increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve safety by automating repetitive tasks such as moving goods from one place to another. They can carry different types of loads and are often integrated with warehouse management systems to optimize operations and inventory handling.
