Tracking of Automated Guided Vehicle with 5G and UWB Real Time Location System in Smart Factory

Automated guided vehicle (AGV) tracking in a factory is considered as one of 5G use cases for Industry 4.0. In this work, a proposed AGV tracking system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology for localization is installed in a manufacturing line. The tracking system can provide real time monito...

Summary:Automated guided vehicle (AGV) tracking in a factory is considered as one of 5G use cases for Industry 4.0. In this work, a proposed AGV tracking system using ultra-wideband (UWB) radio technology for localization is installed in a manufacturing line. The tracking system can provide real time monitoring of AGV locations through web browser. When the AGV encountered a problem, it can be located quickly to resolve related problems and resume its operation much faster. The fifth generation (5G) cellular network provides a flexible production network such that the factory does not have to install local Wi-Fi network. 5G radio quality and network performance are measured. The benefits of 5G networks are listed and discussed in this paper.
