Line Marking Tape for AGVs Precision Navigation
PermaStripe
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are vital to modern warehouses and factories, streamlining operations by transporting goods efficiently without manual intervention. AGVs rely on precise guidance systems, including line markings and magnetic strips, to navigate accurately and safely. At PermaStripe US, our line marking tapes are designed to provide straight, durable, and highly visible paths for AGVs while offering customized solutions for angles and arcs. Additionally, our tapes serve as a protective layer for magnetic guidance systems, ensuring longevity and preventing damage.
AGV Navigation with Line Marking Tape
Many AGVs follow pre-defined paths created with line marking tape, guiding them through production areas, warehouses, and logistics centers. The key to an effective AGV guidance system is using a perfectly straight, highly durable, and easily applied tape—all of which PermaStripe, PermaRoute, and PermaLean provide.
Creating Angles and Arcs with Precision
One of the biggest challenges with AGV line marking is creating precise angles and arcs, which ensure that AGVs can navigate turns accurately. Standard marking tapes often require manual cutting and positioning, leading to inconsistencies and potential tracking errors.
At PermaStripe US, we eliminate this issue by offering custom die-cut solutions that ensure perfect angles and curves. Our ability to print and die-cut tape into exact shapes means that AGVs can follow their designated paths seamlessly without deviation or risk of misalignment.
Protecting AGV Magnetic Guidance Systems
Not all AGVs rely on visual guidance systems—some are designed to follow magnetic strips embedded into or placed on the floor. While magnetic guidance is an effective navigation method, these strips are often thin and delicate and prone to wear from foot traffic, forklifts, and AGV wheels.
To solve this issue, PermaStripe US offers a range of durable line marking tapes that can be applied directly over magnetic strips, acting as a protective shield while allowing AGVs to follow their intended path without interference. This prevents peeling, damage, and costly replacements, keeping operations running smoothly.
Keep Personnel Safe
Safety is paramount in busy industrial environments. By marking AGV lanes with line marking tape, you can designate safe zones for personnel and ensure that employees stay out of the way of automated vehicles. With distinct and visible markings, workers can easily identify paths to avoid, reducing the risk of accidental collisions between AGVs and personnel. This not only improves operational efficiency but also helps to maintain a safe working environment, preventing potential injuries and minimizing disruptions in the workflow.
