Introduction to AGVS

A material-handling system might be simply defined as an integrated system involving such activities like handling, and controlling of materials. Materials involve all kinds of raw material, sub-assemblies, work-in-progress, and finished assemblies. The major motto of an effective material-handling system is to make certain that the material in the right amount is safely delivered to the needed destination at the right time and at minimum cost. This is an integral part of any manufacturing activity. Role of AGVs & Robots have become strategic w. r. t. the modern material handling practices that followed in the current day industry.
