To meet these requirements, Robox offers an integrated approach in which the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/product\/rp-2-as1018-002-as1018-003-as1018-012\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"15589\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RP-2<\/a> onboard controller processes sensor data in real time, estimating the vehicle\u2019s position and orientation. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At fleet level, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/product\/agv-manager-agv_manager\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"2847\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AGV Manager<\/a> enables the management of vehicles and missions, coordinating the system\u2019s operating logic. To support the design, configuration, and commissioning phases, tools such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/product\/robox-agv-tool-rat\/\" data-type=\"product\" data-id=\"3109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Robox AGV Tool (RAT)<\/a> allow users to create the layout map, simulate routes, and validate application logic before start-up, helping to reduce commissioning times and on-site issues. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/functional-safety-in-motion-control-designing-without-compromise\/functional-safety-2\/#toggle-id-2\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"16303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Functional safety<\/a> also plays a key role, as it is now an essential element in AGV systems. The Robox architecture includes the integration of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/product\/sscu-1-x\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/prodotto\/sscu-1-x\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">safety PLC<\/a> dedicated to continuous monitoring of the operating environment, interfaced via FSoE with the safety laser scanners and the drives controlling the vehicle\u2019s motors. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From a navigation standpoint, AGV solutions can adopt different technologies depending on the application, layout, and required level of flexibility.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Inertial navigation<\/strong> provides accuracy, repeatability, and robustness with limited infrastructure impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Laser navigation<\/strong>, based on triangulation using reflectors, is suitable for structured environments requiring flexible routes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Natural navigation<\/strong>, on the other hand, uses environmental perception and is particularly suitable for applications where fixed references cannot be installed on the floor or on walls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice of the most suitable technology must therefore be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the system characteristics, infrastructure constraints, and productivity targets. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/online.flippingbook.com\/view\/691457636\/20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robox is on Automazione Oggi with an article dedicated to navigation systems for AGVs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":22037,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"%%post_title%% %%sep%% %%sitetitle%%","_seopress_titles_desc":"Robox is featured in Automazione Oggi with an article dedicated to navigation systems for AGVs, covering motion control, fleet management, functional safety, and simulation tools.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","_seopress_news_disabled":"","_seopress_video_disabled":"","_seopress_video":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas_manual":[],"_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable_all":"","_seopress_pro_rich_snippets_disable":[],"_seopress_pro_schemas":[],"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[636],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-communications"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.robox.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
