Abstract

With the rapid development of express industry, traditional sorting operation mode has been unable to meet customers’ requirements for speed. As modern automatic logistics equipment, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) has many advantages. It can not only reduce the number of operators and greatly improve the working productivity, but also has the characters of flexibility and reliability. In this paper, an AGV system used in express sorting operation is built. Then its business process, system architecture and task schedule algorithm are specified. Finally, AGV sorting system is developed using C# and simulation experiments are carried out. The efficiency and error rate of AGV sorting system is compared with traditional sorting methods. Simulation results show that it can be more effective and stable to use the AGV system in logistics sorting operation.
