Construction
The main element is the Mother Board, which is
connected to the
3-phase power supply. It is also connected to
the female header and the motor and acts as a power supplying
unit. Two low active sensors are connected to the female header.

Working
The Mother Board is connected to the power supply. It
sends power to female header which then further passes it on to
the sensors.

The function of the sensors is to sense either white or black color.

As soon as it senses the respective colors it sends signals to the
female header which are further passed on to the processor of the
Mother Board.
The processor is programmed to follow the black line and to stop
at desired location as planned earlier on route. Then the
controlled signals are further send to the motors which gives the
required motion.

Applications
Efficient, cost effective movement of materials is an important, and
common element in improving operations in many manufacturing plants
and warehouses. Because automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) can delivery
efficient, cost effective movement of materials, AGVs can be applied to
various industries in standard or customized designs to best suit an
industrys requirements. Industrys currently utilizing AGVs include (but are
not limited to):
Pharmaceutical
AGVs are a preferred method of moving materials in the pharmaceutical
industry. Because an AGV system tracks all movement provided by the
AGVs,
Chemical
AGVs deliver raw materials, move materials to curing storage warehouses,
and provide transportation to other processing cells and stations. Common
industries include rubber, plastics, and specialty chemicals.
Manufacturing
AGVs are often used in general manufacturing of products. AGVs can
typically be found delivering raw materials, transporting work-in process,
moving finished goods, removing scrap materials, and supplying packaging
materials.

Automotive
AGV installations are found in Stamping Plants, Power Train (Engine and
Transmission) Plants, and Assembly Plants delivering raw materials,
transporting work-in process, and moving finished goods. AGVs are also
used to supply specialized tooling which must be changed.

approval.
Sir,
We the students of mechanical
engineering have decided to work on
Black line follower vehicle as our 3rd
year project. We thus request you to
grant the necessary permission for
initiation of the above project.
Thank you.
