9 De’Carte AGV offboard softwar De’Carte AGV offboard software Leading edge control software for AGV systems User friendly and modular The advantages with De’Carte™ software are: Will easily interface with any other standard WMS software Allows for customer changes Developed on MS Visual Studio.Net platform Use MS Visio layout definitions

10 Offboard control Offboard control AGV control system is De’Carte, non-proprietary, using 802.11 De’Carte will dispatch all the AGVs safely, intelligently and dynamically as per the order of the WMS via TCP / IP communication set-up All AGV moves and AGV status are monitored and recorded, priority settings are built-in AGV battery levels are monitored constantly AGV maintenance schedules are built-in and the system will notify the operator or the AGV can automatically be sent to the maintenance area

11 AGV offboard control system Industry standard WiFi 802.11 (b, g, n) Communication via Ethernet High quality PC server with UPS Wireless I/O, or OPTO22 or PLC

12 AGV Battery Charging AGVs have several options when it comes to battery charging, manual, automatic, and opportunity. For a 24 hr. operation, manual battery change is often used, or you may use fast automatic/opportunity charging, to keep up with production, or add a few vehicles. For 8-16 hrs of operation or in systems with AGV idle locations automatic charging is very feasible. Battery type is selected for the actual operation, wet lead acid, maintenance free AGM, Lithium/Li-Ion or NiCad. The system battery and charging requirement is studied and the customer may participate in selecting the most feasible solution for the actual operation.
