Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to design and control a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) based conveyor platform on an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV). The aim of this study is to facilitate the work of each of the manufacturing sector. Even though there are many AGV integrated with RFID technology in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS), however current AGV equipped with conveyor platform can only handle materials which goes to a similar fixed destination without decision making capability. Therefore, it cannot decide what task to perform at any processing station; either loading or unloading process is required. The implementation of RFID based conveyor platform AGV is expected to enable the handling of materials capability in an FMS environment. In this project, current RFID technology was studied to investigate the integration process needed to communicate with the AGV. A prototype of the RFID based conveyor platform on an AGV was built and programmed to automatically handle any loading or unloading process at a designated stations. The AGV was the tested and has achieved 100% reliability in performing its task.
