There are a variety of options for the communication between lifts and fleet management systems. These range from hard-wired solutions to radio solutions.
The use of parameterised interfaces allows the implementation of any scenario. For example, opposite doors can be opened individually to allow the entry or exit of an AGV. In another scenario, both gates can be opened simultaneously to allow the passage of an AGV.
These functional interfaces between the lift and the AGV can for example establish and exchange the following information:
Loading status of the AGV Identification of the loading equipment / transported goods (e.g. RFID or barcode) Contour control (control of the critical dimensions of the transport goods / loading equipment) Weight control Locking control (e.g. for roll containers or wire mesh boxes)
