April 3, 2012 - BlueBotics releases ANT localization, an AGV guidance system that uses information provided by safety laser sensors to determine the vehicle’s position in its environment and transmit it in the form of coordinates (X, Y, theta) to the on board controller via a standard simple interface (serial port).
ANT can be installed in a few hours, enables modification of the paths and missions in a few clicks, allows high-accuracy positioning of +/- 1 cm, a speed of more 1.5 m/sec and is compatible with a hybrid use of the vehicle (in both manual and autonomous modes).
It allows use of existing elements such as vehicle controls, centralized planning of the missions, supervision, and integration of an AGV fleet into a planning system based on ERP (entreprise resource manager) or WMS (warehouse management system).
