    • Call for Pickup from an Assembly Station to an AGV

    AGV Pallet Pick Up Image

    Application: Call AGVs for pallet pickup to enable a continuous workflow and prevent assembly station congestion

    Challenges: Sending pickup requests from fixed locations to a mobile asset and receiving acknowledgements

    Solution: EZ-LIGHT® K70 Touch Buttons paired with a DXM100 Wireless Controller

    Benefits: High-visibility call status indication, reliable Sure Cross® wireless network enables communication between multiple assembly stations and an AGV

    Challenge

    Assembly station workers build products, pack completed products into boxes, and load the filled boxes onto a pallet. A completed pallet must be quickly removed from the station to allow the assembly worker to begin building a new pallet. An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is used to collect and remove complete pallets.

    Solution

    When a pallet has been built the assembly worker touches a wireless K70 Touch Button located at the station. This sends a signal to a DXM100 Wireless Controller installed on the AGV. The DXM100 directly interfaces with the control system on the AGV, prompting it to proceed to the assembly station to remove the pallet. Once the AGV is in motion the DXM100 sends a signal back to the K70, changing its color from red to yellow to notify the worker that the AGV is coming. Once the pallet has been removed by the AGV, the operator touches the K70 again, resetting the condition to green. Response times and other data are collected by the DXM100 and can be used to improve process.
