Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are products that significantly contribute to the reduction of manpower and alleviation of burdens in transportation operations. This time, we have prepared a document that clearly summarizes the advantages of two types of unmanned transport vehicles: "guided AGVs" and "autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)." It includes basic information about what AGVs and AMRs are. Please use this information not only to understand the differences between AGVs and AMRs but also for considerations regarding implementation and selecting products suitable for your site. 【What you can learn from this document】 ■ What AGVs and AMRs are ■ Benefits of implementation ■ Mechanism of autonomous driving ■ Features of AGVs and AMRs ■ AMR's ability to navigate around obstacles and avoid congestion ■ Other driving methods * You can currently receive a free gift of a basic guide to unmanned transport vehicles!

Recently, we have received many inquiries from customers regarding the following concerns: - We want to visualize the power consumption for each piece of equipment and facility... - We want to continuously monitor the flow rate of air and water, discharge pressure, water quality, etc... - We are considering implementing a monitoring system, but the costs for system construction and wiring are high, making it difficult to proceed with the implementation... These concerns can be addressed with LoRa wireless devices. LoRa wireless devices enable long-distance communication up to 5 km in line of sight, so if you have analog signals, contact signals, or RS-485 communication outputs, you can easily aggregate and visualize data from equipment located far away. Additionally, the IoT gateway comes standard with monitoring software (no need to download dedicated software). It also has robust graphing features, allowing you to simply connect to a PC to display status graphs, create year-over-year comparison graphs, and compare data from various equipment.

IP-KVM can remotely operate such PCs! ★ Must not be connected to the network ★ The OS is outdated and does not support networking ★ Remote control software is unsupported or cannot be installed It allows secure remote access to only the signals of the keyboard (K), video (V), and mouse (M) without connecting the PC to the network! ――What is KVM in the first place? It is a device that "switches" or "extends" the signals of Keyboard, Video, and Mouse output from a PC. ――What is IP-KVM? It is a device that converts the KVM signals output from a PC into digital packets and transmits them over the network. Thanks to this mechanism, standalone PCs can also be remotely operated. 【Use Cases】 1. PCs in environments with strict security, such as clean rooms, where remote desktop access is prohibited. 2. When remote maintenance of equipment at the delivery site is prohibited from direct network connection. ★ For remote access to PLCs and HMIs, the products linked below are recommended.
