When 5G meets AGV, what kind of chemical reaction will it burst out?

Automatic cars shuttle freely in the factory, and goods are accurately placed on the shelves by robots... These scenes that once appeared in science fiction movies are now a reality in "smart factories".

AGV trolley (automatic guided trolley) is an important equipment in the logistics system of modern manufacturing enterprises. In the workshop of Kunshan Huaheng Welding Co., Ltd., 12 AGV trolleys shuttle between 500 shelves and more than 40,000 kinds of materials. As long as it is instructed, the AGV will transport the corresponding shelf to the warehouse clerk's workbench.

So when 5G meets AGV, what kind of chemical reaction will it burst out?

From automation to intelligence, 5G+AGV efficiency doubles

The high-frequency interaction between trolleys, materials, and workers provides a stage for 5G to "show its strengths." Zhu Wei, general manager of Kunshan Huaheng Engineering Technology Center Co., Ltd., said that the 5G network can provide diversified and high-quality communication guarantees for the AGV system. Compared with WIFI, 5G network has outstanding advantages in low latency, high-density and massive connections in factory applications, reliability, and network mobility management, which will make AGV systems more efficient.

Obviously, the high-speed network of 5G makes the organization and operation of AGV robots more efficient, not only faster, but also more fluent. So where is the intelligence reflected?

It turns out that the high reliability and low latency of 5G can give AGVs the ability to perceive workers, and the machines will "actively" maintain a safe distance from workers, thus ensuring the safety of human-machine collaborative work. In addition, with the accelerated pace of 5G To B applications, a large number of related smart applications are also on the horizon. When 5G is applied to unmanned factories, the synchronous operation of robots has gradually become a reality. In some special scenes in the factory, workers can realize remote operation. That is to say, the operator only needs to sit on the control chair similar to the cab and actually control it through the operation console, and then they can see the working environment of the AGV in the workshop through the 5G network on the large screen, and complete the reservation synchronously and safely. work goals.

5G smart warehousing solution launched nationwide

5G+AGV helps to double the efficiency of factory warehousing operations, and from AGV to industrial Internet, it is a further deepening of people's understanding of the future of the industry.

In May, Suzhou Mobile joined hands with Kunshan Huaheng Welding Co., Ltd., Suzhou Zhenchang Technology Co., Ltd., and Huawei to hold a 5G Industrial Internet Platform Solution Conference and a signing ceremony for a strategic cooperation agreement. At the signing ceremony, the first end-to-end 5G smart warehousing solution in China was released for the first time. The solution uses 5G modules + 5G private network to realize the application of AGV in smart warehousing and material distribution, and the operation efficiency is greatly improved; using 5G The ultra-low latency feature enables multi-vehicle collaboration to be interrupted without downtime through auxiliary means such as precise positioning and labeling.

     The smart warehousing solution released this time is a breakthrough in the field of 5G+ smart warehousing. This solution is an innovative sample of 5G-enabled industrial scenarios. It has a benchmarking significance for the digital transformation of the warehousing industry, and also marks that the integration of 5G and industrial Internet applications is becoming more and more important. A big step forward.

由浅入深 5G赋能工业互联网

The Industrial Internet is a network that connects people, data, and machines, and is also the basis for promoting the development of industrial intelligence. 5G has the characteristics of high broadband transmission speed, low latency, wide communication, and mature numerical acquisition. It can accelerate the high-level integration of informatization and industrialization, and become a booster for the development of the Industrial Internet.

Whether it is the successful practice of 5G+AGV or the first release of the 5G smart warehousing solution, it is a milestone for Suzhou, a "big manufacturing city" to move towards a "strong manufacturing city". The global 5G development continues to accelerate, thousands of industries are embracing 5G, and the 5G To B era has arrived! It is the characteristics of 5G's ultra-large bandwidth, massive data, and ultra-low latency that make it a communication channel for industrial interconnection and accelerate the digital transformation and upgrading of all walks of life. 5G + Industrial Internet will make a huge contribution to the prosperity and development of China's digital economy. Unleash the "power of China" in the age of intelligence.
