Smart AGV
A redesigned and upgraded smart AGV
Called from an iPad to transport materials or work in process during production
01 Product Introduction
This newly designed AGV adds intelligence to internal material movement.
It can be called from an iPad to transport materials or work in process between production stages.
At a Sangely iPad workstation, a QR code can assign the task, load the process operation and establish the routing. When the operator taps the material-delivery button, the AGV carries the load to the workstation for the next operation.
The arrangement is flexible and supports future changes as well as many-to-many delivery tasks among workstations.
The AGV works with the BOR process routing defined in Sangely. After a process-assignment QR code is issued and scanned on the iPad, the person, machine, operation, routing and location are identified. When the work is complete, the operator sends the task onward and the AGV moves to the next station to complete the delivery.
Sangely develops digital-factory capabilities to help footwear manufacturers compete in the future.
Sangely began working toward digital factories years ago by connecting PDF, CAD, ERP, MES and numerical-control technologies. The approach considers the factory as a whole, beginning with lean production and progressing toward digital operations through a practical upgrade strategy.
Sangely's competitiveness framework for footwear factories includes the following areas:
Transforming the Factory's Decision-Making Core
a. In product development and technical transfer, Sangely interprets customer PDF documents, converts them into design information and uses QR codes to track the development process.
b. After CAD grading, Sangely can generate multi-size BOMs, support rapid changes, maintain data accuracy and transfer marker layouts to bulk-production equipment.
c. Patterns imported from CAD can be assembled to establish the BOR process routing. The interface supports calculation of standard time and labor cost and can generate SOP information for bulk production.

Connecting the Main Arteries of the Production Line
a. QR codes help track raw materials and work in process. A supermarket-style digital dashboard supports more accurate material preparation and more stable lean-production execution.

b. Intelligent-equipment integration connects marker layouts with fabric spreaders and vision cutting machines, warehouse stacker vehicles with material movement, AGVs with line feeding, automated inspection, weighing and packing, and pallet AGVs with warehouse transfer. Sangely continues to develop reduced-labor material-handling and warehousing operations.

c. At the workstation, an employee opens the work iPad, checks and maintains tools, and scans the operation QR code to view the SOP. Guidance videos uploaded during development trials can appear at the workstation, and equipment-service requests can be triggered by scanning. QR codes carry task information so work can be completed more accurately and consistently.
