The age of automation has arrived and with it have come technological innovations that are increasingly capable of executing precise and sophisticated tasks, the incorporation of these technologies has become increasingly requested for implementation in factories of all kinds around the world.

A clear example of this is the integration of these technologies in the biggest shipping companies, which use this type of innovation to transport heavy objects from one place to another within their warehouse, but how is this possible? The answer to this is the use of mobile robots known as AGV’s assigned to perform specific tasks programmed by the user, in order to achieve collaborative work between humans and robotics, in order to increase levels of work efficiency, saving time and costs, as well as improving working conditions.

But, surely you are wondering, WHAT IS AN AGV?

An AGV is an Automatically Guided Vehicle. AGVs have been widely used in the manufacturing and logistics industry. They not only improve production efficiency, but also greatly improve the safety of logistics and production activities. Currently, AGVs are mainly used in the automated handling of large-scale logistics, storage and distribution. Compared with traditional forklifts, AGV’s do not need human driving, effectively reduce human resources, can be used in narrow and hard-to-reach environments, reduce maneuvering areas, and can work 24 hours continuously.

First of all, we need to define that a collaborative robot is one that is designed and suitable to work in harmony in a work environment in which it interacts with the human; its design allows it to work in a totally safe and effective way, since it will adapt to any working environment. Within this category we can find two quite important models of the YOUIBOT brand.

TRANS MODEL

Trans is a series of industrial-grade laser navigation/QR code medium-sized mobile robots that support a maximum payload of 1000kg. The positioning accuracy of the laser is +2mm, it is specially designed for flexible mobile operation in industrial scenarios and can be expanded with more than ten different operation modules, it can easily handle mobile operation tasks in manufacturing, maintenance , factory logistics and security inspection.

Trans can work continuously for more than 10 hours and supports fast power exchange, ensuring 7/24hrs continuous production operation with minimum redundancy and maximum efficiency.

CORGI MODEL

Corgi is a series of ultra-small size mobile robots with industrial grade QR code/laser navigation that supports a maximum load of 300kg. The positioning accuracy of the laser is +2mm, it is specially designed for flexible mobile handling in industrial scenarios. Corgi’s ultra-small size supports channel operation within 600mm, maximizing site utilization; The car body passed RoSH test and can be used in cleanliness class100 dust-free workshop, it can work continuously more than 8 hours, and the automatic charging function can guarantee 7/24 hours of continuous production to improve operating efficiency.

Certainly, the implementation of these technologies means a great advance and evolution in the industry, the increasing usage of this type of technological innovation is giving rise to the creation and regulation of a quality standard and a new way of making more efficient work environments.
