Automated tugger for beverage handling

摘要

To automate handling of buggy trains in beverage handling, an automatic guided vehicle tugger pulls loads up to 65,000 pounds throughout a facility safely and efficiently. Equipped with an extreme-duty laser guidance system that has an IP65-rated laser head to resist low-pressure water jets from any direction, the vehicle also incorporates surface-mounted controls. To engage buggy trains, a powered hitch is included. AGVs are directed by a customized traffic management system that controls both AGV and other vehicles' movement through a coordinated traffic light system.
