MES and AGV

MES(Manufacturing Execution System) is a production information management system for workshops. From the perspective of factory data flow, it is generally at the middle level, mainly collecting, storing and analyzing factory production data. The main functions it can provide include planning and scheduling, production management and scheduling, data traceability, tool management, quality control, equipment/task center management, process control, andon dashboard, report analysis, upper system data integration, etc.

AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) can generally control their routes and behaviors through computers. They have strong self-adjustment, high degree of automation, accuracy and convenience, can effectively avoid human errors and save human resources. In the automated logistics system, rechargeable batteries are used as the power source to achieve flexibility and realize efficient, economical and flexible unmanned work and management.

Compatible communication protocols and interfaces are used between MES and AGV to achieve data transmission and command interaction. Common communication methods include TCP/IP, OPC UA, etc. Choosing the appropriate protocol and interface can facilitate data transmission and analysis.

By combining ARMxy Embedded Computers with BLIoTLink, the ARMxy Embedded Computer can be turned into a protocol gateway that supports TCP/IP, OPC UA and other protocols, and can easily connect AGV to the MES system.
