A mode that uses two wheels to provide driving power.
Drive-in and drive-thru racks are used with forklifts and pallet jacks. Both systems let lift trucks enter from either side to access pallets. The loads are supported by rails that are attached to upright frames.
Drive-in racking offers tight storage of boxes, ample aisle area, and allows the forklift to enter the aisle from one side.
Drive-thru racking provides good storage capacity but allows access from both ends. It uses the FIFO method of retrieval – first in, first out.
There are storage boxes of different sizes in the warehouse, and the placement of the boxes is adjusted based on the spacing between them in order to maximize the storage capacity.
Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, which is essentially a neural network with three or more layers. These neural networks attempt to simulate the behavior of the human brain—albeit far from matching its ability—allowing it to “learn” from large amounts of data. While a neural network with a single layer can still make approximate predictions, additional hidden layers can help to optimize and refine for accuracy.
A mode that uses the speed difference between two or more drives without independent steering mechanism to enable steering.
A wheel that can provide driving power for the AGV.
A button, when pressed in case of an emergency, the robot will stop.
An unlocking device on the inner side of the safety fence for emergency escape.
A component on the robot, which can stretch, rotate, and pick and place goods.
The process of planning, implementing, and managing the flow of goods or products from the point of origin to the point of consumption or distribution.
