Project Name SiemensZPMC Automatic Guided Vehicle AGV Project

Project Name: Siemens-ZPMC Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) Project Customer Name: Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co. , Ltd. Industry Involved: Heavy-duty Equipment Manufacturing Project Challenges Solutions AGV operating at Singapore Automated Port Project Highlights § Elfa system can save 50% energy for AGVs. § With high reliability and accuracy, AGVs with Elfa system can respond to signals in millisecond, take cargo to destination with a deviation of no more than one centimeter, and well adapt to environment of automated port. § Elfa system can store energies generated from the process of braking and turning in battery for further usage. Benefits for Clients §AGVs should achieve reliable operation and high accuracy of positioning as they carry container with maximum weight of 60 tons §Meet requirements of automated port and adapt to changeable situations at the port and reach maximum efficiency of transportation. §Achieve continued operation during busy traffic, reduce downtime and save maintenance costs. § Siemens Elfa system can help guarantee reliable operation of AGVs with high accuracy of positioning and excellent control. The system perfectly matches automation hardware of AGVs to deliver maximum loading in time on busy port. § Dual-motor structure can reach maximum power output and well adapt to different environments at port. It will also ensure the operation of AGV when one motor fails. § Its hybrid system saves energy and reduces emission; it also supports continued operation of AGVs except for regular maintenance. § Energy management unit can recover braking energy into the battery for future usage. § AGV with Elfa system can save 50% energy and well adapt to port environment with maximum loading capacity. § Ensure port automation, reduce maintenance costs and manpower. § Hybrid power can support uninterrupted operation, bringing greater efficiency and benefits to customer.
