METHOD OF DETERMINING ROUTE OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE AND ROUTE DETERMINING SYSTEM OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18218040 titled 'METHOD OF DETERMINING ROUTE OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE AND ROUTE DETERMINING SYSTEM OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves determining the route of a main automated guided vehicle by considering various factors such as assigned work, control points, and moving time predictions.
- Determining if work is assigned to the main automated guided vehicle
- Extracting first and second control points of the assigned work
- Checking for multiple routes between the control points
- Selecting a single route if only one exists, or predicting moving times for multiple routes and selecting the shortest time route if there are two or more routes
- Potential Applications
- Logistics and warehouse management - Manufacturing processes - Transportation systems
- Problems Solved
- Efficient route planning for automated guided vehicles - Optimizing workflow and reducing delays - Improving overall productivity and resource utilization
- Benefits
- Increased efficiency in material handling - Reduced operational costs - Enhanced productivity and throughput - Improved accuracy and reliability in route planning
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of determining a route of a main automated guided vehicle includes: determining whether a work is assigned to the main automated guided vehicle; extracting a first and second control points of the work when the work is assigned to the main automated guided vehicle; determining whether multiple routes exist from the first control point to the second control point; determining a single route as a final route of the main automated guided vehicle when the number of routes from the first control point to the second control point is one; predicting a moving time of the main automated guided vehicle for all candidate routes and determining a shortest time route among the candidate routes as the final route of the main automated guided vehicle, when the number of the routes from the first control point to the second control point is equal to or greater than two.
