Control System Design Analysis on Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) at Engine Test

Electrical Engineering

PT. Hino Motors Manufacturing Indonesia (HMMI) is a manufacturing company engaged in manufacturing diesel motors, assembling four/more-wheeled motorized vehicles and four/more-wheeled motor vehicle components and their accessories. One of the production units at PT. HMMI is a Drive Train Unit that produces, assembles, and tests components such as Transmission, Axle Assy, Engine Assy, and Engine Test using an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) as a tool to increase flexibility in planning the distribution of goods such as moving an assembled engine to a room. Engine Test for benchmarking on the machine. Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is a vehicle that is controlled automatically using a navigation system whose movement pattern control will follow a predetermined path. Writing this report aims to understand the working principle and analyze the control system of the AGV. Movement performance on AGV is controlled by RFID tags, such as stop, start, field change on radar, speed change, and auto-fill. The magnetic stripe is one part of the navigation system. The AGV will follow a track made of adhesive magnetic tape affixed to the floor. The control system on the AGV consists of two main controls controlling the AGV, namely PLC as a performance control and signaling on the AGV and CIZON controller as the primary navigation control on the AGV.
