Implementation of AGV Robot Technology for the Goods Distribution Process at the Bosowa Polytechnic Teaching Factory

In the modern industrial era, increasing operational efficiency and automation have become top priorities in various sectors, including manufacturing, logistics, and distribution. In this context, Robot Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) has become a highly sought-after solution to meet the increasing demands for efficiency and productivity. This study aims to implement Robot AGV technology in the distribution process of goods at the Bosowa Polytechnic Teaching Factory. This AGV robot is designed to move independently using a Pixy camera sensor that can read barcodes as a determinant of the direction of movement. This robot is equipped with a PID control system, GY-271 compass sensor, and Arduino ATmega Pro Mini microcontroller. The research method used is an experimental method that includes literature studies, system design, prototyping, and performance testing. The results of the study showed that the AGV robot was able to follow barcode instructions well, including moving right, left, or stopping. The conveyor system used in the robot is capable of carrying loads of up to 20 kg at varying speeds depending on the weight of the load. Further development is focused on improving sensor accuracy and energy efficiency.
