With the widespread application of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in the industrial field, how to achieve safe collaborative operation between AGVs and personnel has become an important issue. In environments such as smart factories, AGVs and personnel need to work together to ensure the efficiency and safety of the production process. Therefore, taking a series of measures to promote safe collaborative operation between AGVs and personnel is crucial.
I. Establishing Clear Safety Norms and Standards
These norms and standards should include behavioral guidelines for AGVs and personnel, emergency response procedures, and safety training. By training staff to understand the characteristics, operating procedures, and safety precautions of AGVs, their awareness and understanding of AGVs can be improved, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents. In addition, norms and standards should also include interaction rules between AGVs and personnel, such as clearly indicating the interaction methods between personnel and AGVs to avoid accidental collisions.
II. Equip with Safety Sensors and Protective Devices
Safety sensors help AGVs detect their surroundings, including the presence of personnel and the location of obstacles, allowing for timely obstacle avoidance. Protective devices prevent personnel from accidentally entering the AGV's work area, reducing the risk of accidents. These safety devices should be configured and adjusted according to the specific needs of the workplace to ensure a safe distance and safe area between the AGV and personnel.
III. Establish an Effective Communication Mechanism
AGVs should have the ability to communicate and interact with personnel in real time, such as conveying information through sound, light signals, or displays. This allows personnel to understand the AGV's status, actions, and intentions, enabling better cooperation and avoidance of potential dangers. Additionally, personnel should also have the ability to communicate with the AGV, such as sending instructions or warning messages via handheld devices or wireless communication systems.
IV. Continuous Monitoring and Improvement are Key to Achieving Safe Collaborative Operation between AGVs and Personnel
By installing monitoring systems and recording equipment, the movement trajectory, speed, and behavior of AGVs can be monitored in real time, allowing for the timely detection and improvement of potential safety issues. Meanwhile, safety regulations and standards are regularly evaluated and updated, and adjusted and improved according to actual conditions to ensure continuous improvement and optimization of safe collaborative operations between AGVs and personnel.
