Design And Implementation Of An Automated Guided Vehicle Model In Production Line Control System Using Wi-Fi

ABSTRACT

The Automated Guided VehicleAGV or a programmable mobile vehicle is capable of transportation task fully automated at limited area such as using in industrial applications to transfer material and production around a manufacturing unit. In the traditional industry materials and products are transported and moved using workers which lead to waste of the time and increase labour cost. Also its unsafe for the workers themselves by exposing them to bone and muscle diseases and exposing materials and products to breakage and scratching which lead to damage and increase cost. So using AGV to solve the problems related to traditional industry to developed it and to became more modernization. A thesis concentrates of design implementation and testing of the AGV system. The proposed system designed by using a software approach such as configuration of each components by downloading their libraries and copy them to library of arduino IDE/Proteus program. The overall AGV system drown by using the Proteus program. The design model programmed by using adruinoIDE program. And the AGV system simulated. Then the system design implemented by using hardware approach such as installation and connection of the hardware components. The code uploaded to arduinoMEGA2560/ESP8266 board. Finally the operation of the AGV tested without/with Wi-Fi mode. So the AGV operation works properly to handle material in the production line without Wi-Fi mode or outside the production line with Wi-Fi mode through Wi-Fi Robot Control App.
