AGV Milk-Run for Mixed Assembly Lines
Placeholder case study: magnetic + LiDAR hybrid navigation, call-buttons at each cell, and a simple fleet dashboard. Replace with a live plant story when available.
Overview
This sample deployment shows how DevBrix Engineering would stage AGVs for a brownfield factory: marked routes where aisles are tight, LiDAR where traffic mixes with people, and a traffic manager that does not require a full WMS rewrite.
Highlights
- Three-vehicle milk-run with cell call buttons
- Hybrid tape + LiDAR navigation
- Docking at kitting racks and line-side buffers
- Manual takeover mode for peak shifts
Challenges
- Narrow aisles and mixed forklift traffic.
- Operators who will not wait for a full MES integration.
- Need to add a fourth cell without reprogramming the whole map.
Solutions
- Hybrid navigation with virtual keep-out zones.
- Simple call/acknowledge HMI at each drop point.
- Map zones that can be cloned when a new cell is added.
Features
- Fleet traffic control
- Line-side docking
- Battery swap / auto-charge window
Key Results
- Placeholder: replace with walks saved, kit delay, and uptime figures.
- Pilot fleet sized so a fourth AGV can join without a layout redesign.
Sample AGV case for the DevBrix Engineering site. Use this slot for a real material-flow project.
Navigation, docking, and call logic are delivered together with commissioning on site.
The fleet can grow from a three-vehicle pilot without tearing up the map.
