AGV SCHEDULING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18137366 Titled 'AGV SCHEDULING CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD'

Simplified Explanation

The present application describes an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) scheduling control system and method. The system includes an AGV scheduling controller, an AGV, and a server. The AGV scheduling controller generates scheduling instructions for the AGV, which then executes tasks based on these instructions. The server facilitates communication between the AGV scheduling controller and the AGV, and also provides compatibility with AGVs from different manufacturers. Additionally, the system includes virtual counterparts of the AGV scheduling controller and the AGV, known as digital twins. These virtual entities can be controlled using the same programs as their real counterparts.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present application provides an AGV scheduling control system and method. The AGV scheduling control system includes: an AGV scheduling controller configured to generate an AGV scheduling instruction; an AGV configured to execute a task according to the AGV scheduling instruction; and a server that is communicatively coupled with the AGV scheduling controller and the AGV respectively, the server being configured to transfer messages between the AGV scheduling controller and the AGV, and provide adaptation to AGVs from different manufacturers. The AGV scheduling control system in the present application further includes a virtual AGV scheduling controller and a virtual AGV that serve as digital twins of the AGV scheduling controller and the AGV, and the programs used to control the virtual entity and the real entity are equivalently exchangeable.
