Compared with the development of the AGV industry in Europe, America and Japan, the domestic research and application of AGV is relatively slow. In 1975, the first electromagnetic guided AGV in China was developed by the Beijing Institute of Hoisting and Transportation Machinery. In 1989, Beijing Postal Research and Planning Institute completed the first automatic guided car with two-way wireless communication in my country. After that, the state began to support the three major players in the domestic AGV industry: Shenyang Xinsong, Yunnan Kunchuan, and Beijing Jike. With the financial support of the state, these companies have done some research on the basic application of AGV, which can be regarded as a contribution to the domestic AGV industry, but the technical level of domestic AGV at that time was not comparable to the high-end AGV in Europe and the United States, and the gap between Japan and Japan in AGC Not too small. Therefore, the development of AGV in China has been slow for decades until the arrival of the 21st century. When the AGV was first made in China, it was basically done by introducing foreign technology or product agents. Until recent years, the labor cost has continued to rise, the AGV market has gradually been discovered by enterprises, and the AGV boom has emerged, which has also stimulated AGV research. upsurge. Therefore, the real technology accumulation time of the domestic AGV industry is generally very short, and individual companies have a long-term vision, and very few insist on independent research and development from the beginning.
Adhering to the investment in independent research and development is also a watershed between AGV companies now. Only with independent intellectual property rights can the company's competitive advantage be accumulated. Then, in recent years, the development of domestic AGV has been very rapid, and a large number of AGV manufacturers have emerged, but there are actually only a handful of AGV companies in the true sense, and there are really many AGC companies on the market. Just buy a set of AGC products, disassemble and analyze the products, and think that you can build a car with great fanfare after you have acquired the core technology.
It is conceivable what kind of quality the products produced in this way are. Based on this chaotic situation, the AGV industry is full of chaos and product homogeneity is serious. Just open Taobao and you can find countless AGV products. Do you really dare to buy this kind of AGV with a frighteningly low price? The technical threshold of AGV is not as low as imagined, and it is not possible to act as a handling robot with the basic structure of AGV. As everyone knows, a truly reliable AGV requires constant running-in, running-in of personnel and technology, and running-in of application scenarios. Only through continuous accumulation and innovation can it adapt to specific scenarios. At present, AGV has been applied on a large scale in many industries in my country, such as tobacco, logistics, automobile, news, etc., especially in automatic logistics sites and intelligent assembly workshops, and the upward trend is very rapid. In recent years, the emergence of some new technologies, new equipment, and new inventions has enabled advanced intelligent AGVs to enter many enterprises. At present, the use of AGV is mainly indoors, but with the market demand and industry development requirements, outdoor or semi-outdoor AGV technology will gradually improve and enter the market application.
