Difference between AGV casters and ordinary casters

Introduction:
The use of automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) is becoming more and more common in modern industry and logistics.AGV casters are an important part of the AGV system, and compared with ordinary casters, they have some unique features and functions. In this paper, we will discuss the differences between AGV casters and ordinary casters.

Guiding and positioning ability:
AGV casters have strong guiding and positioning capabilities. They are often equipped with sensors and navigation systems that can sense the surrounding environment and guide according to a preset path. In contrast, ordinary casters usually do not have these special features and can only simply roll in response to external forces.

Autonomous navigation capabilities:
AGV casters are capable of independent path planning and obstacle avoidance through autonomous navigation systems. They can intelligently avoid obstacles and find the optimal path of travel based on pre-programmed maps and feedback from sensors. In contrast, ordinary casters need to rely on external forces or manual control to achieve movement.

Communication and integration capabilities:
AGV casters are usually able to communicate and integrate with the entire AGV system. They can receive commands from the autonomous control system and send feedback to it to realize the coordinated operation of the whole AGV system. Ordinary casters usually do not have the ability to communicate and integrate with other devices.

Conclusion:
AGV casters are significantly different from ordinary casters in terms of functionality and features.AGV casters are equipped with guiding and positioning capabilities, autonomous navigation capabilities, high load capacity, durability and abrasion resistance, as well as communication and integration capabilities. These features make AGV casters play an important role in automation applications in industry and logistics, improving efficiency and accuracy.
