Technology sharing III -- cross floor scheduling of AGV scheduling system

The dispatching system can dispatch one AMR to connect with multiple cross floor equipment, such as elevator. The dispatching system and elevator controller need to interact with each other according to the communication protocol, including floor signals, leveling signals, door opening completion and door closing completion signals, which poses a great challenge to the dispatching system. If the docking technology between AMR and elevator is not perfect, it needs to manually cooperate with AMR to enter and exit the elevator, which not only wastes manpower, There is also a safety risk of man-machine mixing; After the AMR and elevator docking technology is mature, there will also be problems such as the safety and stability of AMR and elevator docking, such as signal loss, or wrong transmission and leakage of signal, resulting in the failure of AMR and elevator docking.

对接技术要求

Through years of technical precipitation, ant RCS dispatching system has successfully solved the industrial pain points such as signal drop, loss and misoperation when docking with elevator, and formulated communication protocol with elevator manufacturer to realize closed-loop control and ensure 100% normal communication docking.

The improvement of automatic handling efficiency also puts forward higher requirements for the operation efficiency of elevators, such as unnecessary waiting when docking with elevators, and problems such as multiple AMRS entering and leaving elevators at the same time, resulting in multiple AMRS waiting in line at the elevator entrance. Ant RCS scheduling system schedules and manages AMRS, and combined with independent communication technology, multiple AMRS can enter and exit elevators reasonably and orderly, avoiding congestion at the elevator entrance and realizing stable and orderly material handling.

Based on years of project experience and technical precipitation, Qingdao ant robot has mature cross floor handling solutions and has been successfully applied to multiple project implementation sites. For details, see [case sharing] to realize multi floor handling. Ant robot promotes the logistics reform of biotechnology industry.

Ant RCS dispatching system supports the docking of AMR with elevators, vertical warehouses, hoists and other automatic equipment, manages the operation status and path planning of AMR in an all-round way 24 hours, realizes automatic cross floor allocation according to the actual business needs of each floor, and effectively solves the problem of flow fluctuation at different times and different floors. Ant RCS dispatching system provides standard interfaces for two business docking modes of warehousing and handling, without additional infrastructure. It can deploy AMR quickly in 10 minutes and has high flexibility.
