Abstract
Future smart factories need to use intelligent transport devices like automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for connecting intelligent production and logistics. To address the lack of edge side functions in the current AGV systems, this paper proposes an agent-based system architecture for AGVs in cloud-edge computing environments. The system is divided into three main components: the cloud center, edge nodes, and AGV agents. The cloud center is largely responsible for AGV transport route planning, while the edge nodes are in charge of AGV transport control and equipment management. The driving function and executing commands are handled by AGV agents. AGV agents can communicate and collaborate with each other to address emergent issues. The proposed approach has been validated through simulations.
