Autonomous Vehicle Guided with RFID Position Detection for Warehouse Management System

Abstract

Finding the location of goods stored in the warehouse is part of the quality of the management warehousing system. Location goods usually always change or reposition to rearrange space in warehouses. Changes in the goods placement system have resulted in the location of goods being stored in the database. Retrieval of goods from the location requires an AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) which can work automatically based on data on the position of goods in the database. AGVs in warehouses use a lot of lanes on the warehouse floor as road guides. A search robot in the form of a car is developed by using data on the position of goods in the database as the direction of the robot's destination. The robot has Wi-Fi communication and uses RFID as a guide for the robot's path. RFID can be placed at certain points where the AGV needs direction assistance so that the robot does not rely on black lines. The movement of the robot is calculated through the actual position data from the RFID tag which is read when the robot passes the RFID and the position data of the item that has been given. The use of robots with the ability to detect their actual position is in accordance with the principles of a warehouse management system that requires automation and real-time data. So with this robot, automatic search media can be obtained, and improve management and storage in warehouses.
