Sistema de controle supervisório para veículos de condução automática

Abstract

With the rapid advances of globalization and technology, new concepts to industry and market are emerging in modern society. Over the years, manufacturing industries have testified the growing of new modern and dynamic practices in order to make industrial process more and more automated and run without human. In this context, AGV (automated guided vehicle) can assist the manufacture in several ways, especially in the transportation and placement of objects and components in the production line. The goal of this project is to develop, through an agile software model development, a system to control and manage AGVs in a manufacture line. The C# language is used in conjunction with the S7.Net Plus communication library to implement this system. The Siemens programmable logic controllers and the laserguided pallet conveyor-type vehicle models are also used in the project. The developed system will be easy to manage and coordinate all vehicles in a production line, increasing the human-machine (AGV) interaction and will allow an improvement of manufacture performance.
