Autonomous transport system control system

摘要

The control system uses a sensor device (2) mounted on the transport carriage, for detecting its position relative to a guide track, extending along a factory floor between a start point and a destination point. The sensor device detects path position markings (4) along the guide path and relays the information to a central control (6), providing information for the carriage drive control in dependence on the detected position, the target point and the guide path layout.
