Case Details
In the smart logistics and manufacturing industry, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) navigation accuracy and operational efficiency directly affect production and logistics throughput. Traditional AGV systems face core challenges such as low positioning precision, rigid path planning, poor multi-machine collaboration, and difficult fault diagnosis. This solution, based on the
ARMxy BL360 industrial-grade embedded computer with quad-core Cortex-A53 and GPU graphics acceleration, builds an AGV autonomous navigation control system integrating high-precision positioning, dynamic path planning, multi-machine collaborative scheduling, and remote monitoring. By adopting laser SLAM + visual fusion positioning algorithm, it achieves ±10mm positioning precision and <200ms path re-planning response. Combined with BLIoTLink, BLRAT, and Qt core tools, the solution ultimately improves AGV operational efficiency by 30%-40%, reduces path conflict rates by over 50%, and realizes intelligent management of AGV fleets.
- Low Positioning Precision: Single positioning method leads to drift, failing to meet high-precision handling needs.
- Rigid Path Planning: Fixed paths cannot adapt to dynamic obstacles and production layout changes.
- Poor Multi-Machine Collaboration: Lack of unified scheduling, resulting in path conflicts and low fleet efficiency.
- Difficult Fault Diagnosis: Dispersed AGVs require on-site troubleshooting, with high maintenance costs.
