Description
Summary:This project is about the design and implementation of loading and unloading process of an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) using the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system. It comprises of integrated between Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), sensors, Direct Current (DC) electrical motor, conveyor system, and pneumatic system. The function of an AGV is to carry loads or work parts from one station and unload the loads or work parts at other station. Pneumatic system is used in the loading station to transfer loads or work parts to the AGV. There is a small conveyor system on the AGV which is used in the loading and unloading process. The AGV moves from one station to other station using the DC electrical motor with a driver or controller that control the speed of the motor. Line follower sensor is used in this AGV to detect line as a route in carrying the loads. This AGV use Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) as a master controller. © Universiti
