Remote Route Planning &
Diagnostics for AGVs
AutoGuide (Troy, MI) has introduced a new wireless pendant with remote route programing
and diagnostics for its TV Series of AGVs. The wireless pendant can be run on a tablet
computer giving users complete programming capability, remote access to diagnostics and
reports and the ability to drive the AGVs without having to stand next to the vehicles. Auto-
Guide TV Series vehicles follow programmable routes along flexible magnetic tape guided
paths. When paired with the patent-pending, remote wireless pendant, routes can be set
up and changed quickly and effortlessly from any connected tablet computer. The wireless
pendant utilizes the industry standard Android operating system, which allows for secure
communication between the vehicle and the tablet. The pendant uses dual pairing authen -
tication, untethered manual controls of vehicle movement and provides monitoring of Wi-Fi
spectrum. The pendant display also shows multiple status readings, including alarms, path
parameters, battery voltage, last RFID tag read, I/O status and more.
