In the scenario of automated warehousing and intelligent manufacturing, the collaborative scheduling of multiple AGVs is a key link to improve operation efficiency. As an automation equipment suitable for indoor handling, the scheduling process of multiple clusters directly affects the fluency and accuracy of the overall operation. The following will introduce the complete operation process of its collaborative scheduling in detail.
Task Receiving and Intelligent Assignment
The scheduling system first receives job tasks from the upper management system, which usually contain information such as the starting point, destination, and priority of cargo handling. The system collects the status data of all online ANS25 AGVs in real time, including current location, load, remaining power, job progress, etc. Combined with task requirements and AGV status, the scheduling system will assign tasks according to the optimal matching principle, and give priority to AGVs that are close to the starting point of the task, are in an idle state, and have sufficient power to ensure that the task can be started quickly.
Path planning and dynamic adjustment
real-time global path planning
After the task allocation is completed, the scheduling system will plan the optimal travel path for each ANS25 AGV that undertakes the task based on the electronic map of the warehouse or workshop. During the planning process, factors such as path length, congestion, and the running routes of other AGVs will be comprehensively considered to avoid job conflicts caused by path overlap, and at the same time minimize the operation time of a single AGV.
Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance and Path Optimization
During the operation of the AGV, the dispatching system will monitor the location and surrounding environment of each device through real-time positioning technology. When an obstacle appears on the AGV's travel route, other AGVs temporarily occupy the road, or sudden changes in the operation area are detected, the system will immediately adjust the path for the relevant AGV and issue new travel instructions to ensure that the AGV can safely bypass obstacles without affecting the overall operation rhythm.
Job execution and status feedback
The ANS25 AGV that receives the scheduling instruction will start the job according to the planned path, and continue to upload its own position, speed, job status and other data to the scheduling system during the journey. The scheduling system will summarize these data in real time and monitor the work progress of each AGV. If an AGV has abnormal conditions, such as insufficient power, equipment failure, etc., the system will issue an early warning in time, and adjust the task allocation according to the actual situation, and arrange for the backup AGV to take over the unfinished task to avoid the overall job stagnation.
Task closure and resource reset
When the ANS25 AGV completes the cargo handling task, it will send a task completion signal to the dispatching system. The dispatching system will instruct the AGV to return to the designated standby area or charging area according to the remaining power of the AGV and the arrangement of subsequent tasks. At the same time, the system will update the task ledger, mark the completed tasks, and prepare for the allocation of the next batch of tasks to ensure that the AGV resources can be recycled efficiently.
