The automatically guided vehicle (AGV) is highlighted as a flexible transport vehicle for existing lines in a variety of industrial fields. In the steel industry, heavy coils are currently carried by trucks and lift cars from one process to another. The transportation of heavy steel coils requires AGVs that are as compact as possible, highly mobile and stable. Also necessary are systems to manage and control the operation of AGVs in an optimum manner. Vehicle manufactures are unable to supply AGVs and AGV systems that can meet the layout, direct transfer, and continuous operation requirements of existing lines in the steel industry. Nippon Steel developed a prototype AGV by making use of its functional design expertise and tested the prototype to verify its performance and to check and refine its initial design concept. It then developed and introduced commercial AGVs at some of its steelworks.
