Delta Electronics had three patents in robotics during Q1 2024. Delta Electronics Inc has developed an automated guided vehicle (AGV) management system that includes modules for battery recharge management, task management, and AGV path planning. The system ensures that AGVs are recharged using wireless charging units in a parking area, with the AGVs leaving the area only when their battery charge exceeds a certain threshold. Tasks are assigned to AGVs based on pick-up and drop-off locations, as well as due times, with paths planned accordingly. Tasks may be delayed if an AGV is expected to complete them before the due time. GlobalData’s report on Delta Electronics gives a 360-degree view of the company including its patenting strategy.

Application: Automated guided vehicle management system and method (Patent ID: US20240045444A1)

The patent filed by Delta Electronics Inc. describes an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) management system that includes modules for battery recharge management, task management, and AGV path planning. The system ensures that AGVs are recharged by wireless charging units in a parking area, with AGVs leaving the area having a charge higher than a threshold. Tasks are assigned to AGVs based on pick-up and drop-off locations and due times, with paths planned accordingly. The system delays task assignment if an AGV is expected to complete the task before the due time.

Additionally, the system includes features such as assigning AGVs with lower battery charges to charging units, assigning additional tasks to AGVs if they can be completed early, operating in different working modes for charging, prioritizing task assignment based on battery charge, utilizing the A* algorithm for path planning, and implementing a hybrid receding horizon/incremental scheduling strategy for online replanning. The system also includes a user interface for configuring AGVs, charging units, tasks, and area layouts, as well as receiving task assignments and scheduling approaches for path planning.
