Let’s start KAIZEN with CREFORM AGV. CREFORM AGV supports to solve the problems of your work place and realize lean manufacturing.
AGV is a driverless transport device. However, an AGV can not only bring materials, but it has also many other possibilities. Here we introduce an AGV world full of great potential.

Why AGV ?
■■ Direct loading type
■■ Towing type in train style
AGV is a cart that follows a defined path for transportation as a tool for material handling and factory automation.
Maximum efficiency of load capacity, reliable combination with other devices e.g. conveyor
Multiple cart transportation, use of existing carts
■■ Towing type in crawler styleFunctional flexibility and space saving by replacing tow-cart depending on situation
■■ Heavy labour■■ Many transportation tasks for workers■■ Risk of serious traffic accident, human error■■ High stacking = unsafe, no FIFO principle■■ Large space only for temporary storage■■ Unmanaged WIP, intermediate inventory■■ Unstable supply timing
■■ Reduction of physical hard work■■ Avoidance of serious accidents and errors■■ No stacking = Safety, tidy and FIFO principle■■ Reduction of temporary storage space■■ Establishment of One-piece-flow, WIP control■■ Reduction of lineside structures = shorten-
ing production line length and lead time■■ Intermittent operation, partial speed change
of line, stable supply at certain time interval

* WIP = Work In Process, FIFO = First In First Out

Various Purposes of Use
A to B Transfer>> Most simple and powerful way of
AGV applicationTypical process: all
Mobile Assembly Line
Buffer Control Application>> Adjusting speed, waiting time and number of AGV between processes to control WIP and takt time
Typical process: Cooling interval of casting process, drying interval of painting process, processes with duration difference
>> Assembly on AGV moving with ultra low speedTypical process: Automotive engine/suspension/instrument panel
sub-line, electronic appliance/copier assembly line
Synchro-Line>> Synchronized with moving assembly line
Typical process: Automotive interior assembly process at main-line
■■ AGVs can not only move materials but also bring us many possibilities.

Case study:Mobile assembly implementationTwo looping routes1. Material supply to Sub line2. Sub assembly on AGV + Assembly supply to Main line
▶ Removal of conveyor ▷ Free passage, space saving, layout flexi-
bility, area without division▶ Driverless transportation
▷ Less injuries, accidents and human errors▶ Unfixed assembly base
▷ Assembly from all directions, quick adoption to production line change
Crawler AGV delivers kit-cart from Supermarket to Main assembly line in a circular loop, which allows many AGVs to travel on one route at the same time. In a routine, AGV travels alongside as-sembly line and returns back with empty cart.
Forward drive towing type single AGV repeats travel between processes through narrow pathway to deliver to assembly. At each end, AGV loops around to return.

◀ Crawler Style Door Panel Delivery AGVBy replacing tow-cart, one AGV can be adopted to many pro-cesses. This can be advantage in terms of securing number of spares and operation training. By modification for accepting AGV underneath, existing carts, dollies and trollies also can be diverted to tow-cart for AGV.
Customization Showcase◀ Picking Cart Train AGV
AGV supplys parts collected in picking area to the line.By connecting and towing multiple carts, it can deliver many parts boxes at once. If the connection is removed, tow-carts of train can be used manually as a regular picking cart .
Karakuri Transfer Bidirectional AGV ▶Forward and reverse driving enables front transfer of boxes. It is also effective in space saving as switching back does not require extra space for turning back. And Karakuri transfer with gravity rollers is useful to save labour and cost.

◀ Automatic Lifter IntegrationAGV with scissor lift table and rotary plate for mobile assembly with automatic elevation adjustment by RFID.
Full enlarged operability ▶ Forward and reverse driving AGV with motor drive conveyor for transfer of work, HMI connected to traffic controller with wi-fi and automatic charging.
Four-directional Cockpit Assembly AGV▶Designed for carrier assembly of cockpit installation into car body.
Bidirectional Round AGV ▶This special cylindrical-shaped AGV has a transparent cover with one side opening for loading/unloading. It goes and returns holding the same posture and the inside conveyor works as a turntable to control the workpiece direction independently.
◀ Side transfer conveyor AGVConveyor AGV with motor drive conveyor for side transfer of pallets.
HMI ▶(Human Machine Interface)
