As spring returns, all parts of China are restoring production in an orderly manner while keeping a close eye on epidemic prevention and control. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to reduce contact transmission between people, the demand for "AGV robots replacing people" has been stimulated, and service AGV robots have taken the lead in epidemic prevention in the fields of medical care, distribution, inspection, and household use. The service robot industry is currently in the early stages of development, and this epidemic is expected to become a catalyst for the development of the AGV robot industry.

Under the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of service robots has been highlighted. For example, the relevant reports we have seen have been successfully used in the following scenarios:

1. Medical care: Robots replace medical staff to complete disinfection, medical guidance, and drug delivery. Typical cases include the Titanium Disinfection Robot and DJI Disinfection Drone.

2. Delivery: Robots deliver meals to quarantined people. Typical examples include the delivery robots of Yunji, Qinglang, and Pudu.

3. Inspection: In crowded areas, robots automatically patrol to monitor people's body temperature, entry and exit, mask wearing, etc. Typical examples include UBTECH's police inspection robot.

4. Home use: Disinfect the home environment.

In order to avoid cross-infection and close contact between people, AGV smart cars are also widely used in the manufacturing industry. For factories in the manufacturing industry, manual labor has many shortcomings in modern manufacturing. For example, for some low-end jobs, the younger generation is not willing to do repetitive labor. In some gravity-type jobs, human physical strength is limited, and carrying large objects will reduce the efficiency of the production line. In comparison, automation has great advantages in the manufacturing industry. In some environments, robots (AGV) can complete production tasks more smoothly than humans. There are many application scenarios for industrial AGV robots in the manufacturing industry, and mobile robots (AGV) that perform logistics handling work are used more and more frequently.

At the same time, with the rise of intelligent manufacturing models, future factories must be automated and intelligent, and this mobile robot (AGV) will be one of the key roles. Usually, mobile robots (AGV) can interact with manufacturing execution systems to achieve error prevention, traceability and other functions. Mobile robots (AGV) can be better integrated into intelligent manufacturing systems to achieve product component delivery in each production link, ensuring that the entire production line operates with high efficiency.

In addition, the continuous development of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence has brought many benefits to AGV mobile robots. Manufacturers are using vision and laser navigation to improve the recognition ability of mobile robots (AGV) in industrial scenarios. By adding artificial intelligence algorithms, AGV robots can achieve autonomous operation and have the ability to make independent decisions, so as to better cooperate with work. We can even use voice commands, face recognition and other technologies to easily call AGV robots to enter production tasks, further improving the efficiency of equipment use.

AGV robots consume their own power while working, and need to be charged like mobile phones and electric vehicles to ensure normal operation. Xinxiang Tianheng Electric is a company specializing in AGV smart charging stations and AGV brush plates and blocks (charging connectors). It has many years of design and production experience and can design and produce according to customer power requirements. Facing the rise of the AGV industry, Tianheng Electric has a long way to go!
