Today, we're diving into the heated debate between two technologies of material transport: the classic conveyor belt and the mobile robot, also known as AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). We unpack the pros, cons, and everything in between of these technologies. Will the conveyor belt maintain its stronghold as the go-to solution, or will the AGV steal the spotlight? Tune in as we compare, contrast, and maybe even challenge some long-held beliefs. It's time for the ultimate showdown: Conveyor Belts vs. Mobile Robots.

Today, we're diving into a rather theoretical yet crucial topic: norms and regulations for AGV implementation and usage. Join us as we unravel the complexities and importance of these standards. Ever heard of EN ISO 3691-4? It's more than just a number; it's a cornerstone for AGV implementation. From CE certification to ISO standards, we'll explore how these norms not only ensure safety but also might serve as a guideline. Join us as we navigate the world of regulations and discover why compliance isn't just about avoiding trouble. Stay tuned, and let's awaken the potential of automation together.
