1. Can AGVs link to picking stations?

Absolutely. AGV intelligent forklifts serve as the "workhorses" of the Goods-to-Person (G2P) system. They can precisely transport entire pallets or racks to manual picking stations or robotic arm cells. Through integrated sensor docking, AGVs achieve millimeter-level stopping accuracy, ensuring the cargo is perfectly aligned with the operator. Advanced solutions even allow the AGV to lift the load to an ergonomic height, enabling operators to pick items without bending over.

2. How are urgent orders prioritized?

The system dynamically adjusts task logic in real-time using intelligent scheduling algorithms:

• Task Preemption: When the WMS (Warehouse Management System) marks an order as "Priority" or "Urgent," the dispatch system identifies the nearest idle AGV and assigns the task immediately, bypassing the standard queue.

• Dynamic Right-of-Way: In terms of path planning, the system grants "road priority" to AGVs executing urgent tasks. Robots performing low-priority missions (such as returning empty bins) will actively move aside to ensure the urgent lane remains clear.

3. Can AGVs replenish bins?

Yes, this is key to achieving a closed-loop unmanned warehouse.AGVs handle both "outbound" and "inbound" logic. When the system detects that stock in a picking bin has dropped below the warning threshold, it automatically triggers a replenishment task. An AGV forklift will retrieve a full pallet from high-level storage and transport it to the picking area for bin replacement. This integrated approach significantly minimizes manual intervention.

4. What is the system throughput?

System throughput depends on fleet coordination efficiency rather than individual machine speed. Evaluation is based on three core factors:

• Station Efficiency: The number of order lines a single picking station can handle per hour (typically ranging from 300 to 600 lines).

• Fleet Coverage: Whether the number of AGVs can support continuous operation at the picking stations, accounting for travel paths and charging downtime.

• Response Latency: The average time from order placement to the arrival of goods at the station. Throughput can be scaled horizontally—much like building blocks—by adding more AGVs or optimizing the warehouse layout.
