Safety Standards for AGVs

Safety standards for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are guidelines ensuring these robots operate safely around humans and other equipment. They specify how AGVs should be designed, equipped with sensors, emergency stops, and warning systems to prevent accidents. These standards also cover proper testing, maintenance, and operational protocols to minimize risks. The goal is to create a safe environment where AGVs enhance productivity without jeopardizing worker safety, ensuring clear communication and predictable behavior in shared workspaces. Compliance with these standards helps organizations prevent injuries and machine failures, promoting reliable and safe automation.
