"Laser-guided AGVs to hold largest share in automated guided vehicle market from 2019 to 2024"

Laser guidance is the most flexible system for vehicle movement and offers accurate navigation. It allows the vehicles to operate in a warehouse without the need for invasive barriers. A laser-guided AGV has reflectors mounted on walls along the vehicle's route. A rotating laser mounted on the vehicle sends out a laser beam and detects its reflections, gathering information on distance and angle, which gets stored in the vehicle memory. The growth of the market for AGVs based on laser guidance can be attributed to the flexibility, scalability, and accuracy associated with their operations. It also improves safety, increases throughput, and minimizes downtime. Moreover, the use of flexible reflective strips in AGVs helps improve the functionality of warehouses in many industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and aerospace.

"AGV market for distribution to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period"

The distribution center is a key facet of order processing as various operations, such as order fulfillment, cross-dock facility, bulk break, and package handling, take place there. Distribution centers face challenges such as the requirement of high workforce cost to manage inventory, delay in order fulfillment, and low accuracy and throughput during operations, among others. These centres widely use AGVs as these are ideal for transport from end-of-line equipment to shipping. The growing e-commerce industry is causing a significant increase in the number of warehouses, thereby creating huge demands for AGVs in distribution centers.
