With Real Time Location System (RTLS) means that the AGV’s and Tugger Trains operating on the corridors of the shop floor are fully visible in real time. Positioning data of the line feeding equipment is being generated at rate between 2 – 4 Hz. This raw data is used for the monitoring and visualization software to manage the flow from the equipment, i.e.: manage flow between AGV’s and Tugger Trains in constrained areas like crossroads.
This last point is particularly important because without RTLS, it wouldn’t be possible to have AGV’s and Tugger Trains operating in the crossroad shown in the pictures above. RTLS enabled a common operating environment for these assets which allows for further dissemination of AGV’s (automation) in the shop floor at Volkswagen Autoeuropa.
