Abstract

This project report presents the work done on the design and soft modeling of automated guided vehicle. An AGV is one of a material handling equipment that has been used widely in most manufacturing industry today. This is because it provides more flexibility to the material handling system. The basic concept of the AGV incorporates battery-powered and driverless vehicles with programming capabilities for path selection and positioning. They are equipped to navigate a flexible guide path network that can be easily modified and expanded. The software for designing the AGV is chosen based on the author knowledge. Several design ideas have been generated and divided into two major components which are the body vehicle and the structure frame. From these designed ideas, a comparison has been made to choose the best design idea from designing the AGV. The AGV important parts are designed based on the specification and requirement of the parts to be attached to it. The list of all parts needs to be fabricated and the standard parts are presented in this report. The detail of the parts and their specifications are presented in solid model with the dimensions which fulfills the requirement for future development. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been used to analyse the design of the AGV structure. The stress, displacement, deformation and factor of safety are obtained from the analysis and presented. For future development, it was suggested to fabricate and test the designed AGV. From the test result, action should be taken (if necessary) for further improvement of the designed AGV design.
