AGV 物料搬運：改變製藥物流和冷藏作業

In the era of digital transformation, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) material handling has emerged as a cornerstone of intelligent logistics, addressing the unique challenges of precision, safety, and efficiency in specialized industries. This article explores its transformative applications in two critical sectors—pharmaceutical logistics and cold storage facilities—highlighting how AGVs combine advanced navigation, adaptive design, and system integration to redefine material flow in high-stakes environments.

AGV Material Handling for Pharmaceutical Logistics

製藥業面臨巨大的挑戰，包括無菌傳輸和灌裝等流程需要專門的物流。此外，倉儲必須及時、準確地處理緊急和時間敏感的交貨。傳統的處理方法和零星的物料需求造成生產效率低下。此外，確保整個供應鏈中產品的完整可追蹤性和可視性至關重要，但卻極具挑戰性，會影響合規性和客戶信任。此外，擷取和上傳電子監督碼的法規要求，尤其是在大宗破壞時，使物流作業更加複雜。

AGV material handling solutions excel here by minimizing human intervention, ensuring contamination control, and optimizing the transport of temperature-sensitive goods. With a shrinking labor pool, AiTEN's automated material handling solutions reduce reliance on manual labor, ensuring consistent productivity and operational continuity. By automating key processes, our solutions reduce operational costs associated with labor, space utilization, and energy consumption, enhancing profitability for pharmaceutical companies.

AGV Material Handling in Cold Storage Facilities

Cold storage environments—operating at temperatures as low as -30°C—pose significant challenges for traditional material handling: equipment wear, battery performance degradation, and increased worker fatigue. AGVs address these with specialized engineering and adaptive operations.

For example, A cold storage in Spain has successfully transitioned from traditional to intelligent by introducing the AiTEN's AE1516 unmanned forklift robot and dispatch system.

Limit blocks in its warehouse are not removable, posing challenges for automated equipment docking. Traditional navigation methods are also limited, increasing operational complexity.

Meanwhile, the warehouse's limited space and the need to preserve foodstuffs at low temperatures have led to a strict division of space, which affects the layout and limits the operating range and flexibility of automation equipment.

And the high demand for cold storage logistics requires large models of automation equipment, but space constraints exacerbate the tension, and the fast pace of tasks requires high-performance equipment:

• High Precision and Efficiency for Complex Environments
• Smooth Loading and Unloading Even in Tight Spaces
• Intelligent Traffic Control, Realising Multi-Machine Cooperation
• Taskless Charging to Reduce Energy Costs

總結

AGV material handling has evolved from a niche automation tool to a strategic asset for industries with strict operational requirements. In pharmaceutical logistics, it ensures regulatory compliance, product integrity, and end-to-end traceability, while in cold storage, it conquers extreme environments to deliver unmatched efficiency and safety. As technologies like 5G, AI-driven predictive maintenance, and energy-efficient designs advance, AGVs will become even more integral to future-proof supply chains—enabling businesses to balance precision, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in an increasingly complex world.
