Fully automated intralogistics
AGVs at the ICE plant in Munich
The ICE plant at Munich Central Station is receiving a fully automated intralogistics system with an autonomous automated guided vehicle (AGV) from Insystems Automation. The new "proANT AGV 576" will be used to transport pallet cages and Euro pallets (measuring 1,200 x 800 x 1,000 millimetres) between the materials warehouse and the maintenance level. The special features of the application include the installation of intelligent parking space management "Arrivial Selectors" in the track aisles on the one hand and the connection to the existing elevator system on the other.
The aim of the project was to supply the maintenance tracks with material from the warehouse using automated systems. To this end, Insystems developed a driverless transport system (AGV) that meets the requirements and fits into the complex environment of the ICE plant.
Fully autonomous supply of thetrack aisles
The company opted for the proANT AGV 576 primarily because it was no longer able to maintain and find enough skilled workers for in-house material flow supply. The new technology enables fully autonomous delivery to the track aisles, regardless of future staff fluctuations. Employees who were previously responsible for transportation can be reassigned to other value-adding tasks.
The new transport robot has integrated lithium iron phosphate LiFeYPo4 batteries, which can be used for up to six hours when fully charged and have a long service life when used properly. The lithium iron phosphate is non-toxic and non-flammable. In contrast to conventional Li-ion cells, no metallic lithium precipitates when overcharged and no oxygen is released. The vehicle is charged at a 50-amp charging station. This has a drive-charge factor of 5, which in turn means that the transport robot can drive for five hours for every hour it charges. The AGV is able to transport 450 meters of material around seven times per hour. It travels fully automatically with the elevator from the basement to the maintenance level to bring the material from the material store to the train. pb
