Abstract
In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, this study focuses on the design and development of an autonomous vehicle model for warehouse operations, with the goal of automating material handling and inventory management, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and optimizing operating costs. The system uses the D-DWM-PG3.6 WiFi module for vehicle positioning. The model is tested in a laboratory space of 100 m² and is capable of transporting small items with a maximum size of 20 × 20 cm. The movement trajectory is defined using a two-dimensional coordinate system. After more than 50 trials, the results show an accuracy with an approximate error of 10.4±5.1 cm compared to the desired trajectory. In addition, a mobile application was developed to control the vehicle and manage orders in real time. The results indicate that the system contributes to improving warehouse operation processes. However, the surveyed area should be further expanded in future studies to accommodate larger warehouses.
Tóm tắt
Trong bối cảnh cuộc cách mạng công nghiệp 4.0, việc thiết kế và phát triển mô hình xe tự hành, nhằm tự động hóa quá trình vận chuyển và quản lý hàng hóa trong kho được tập trung nghiên cứu trong bài viết góp phần nâng cao hiệu quả hoạt động và tối ưu hóa chi phí vận hành. Module WiFi D-DWM-PG3.6 được sử dụng để định vị xe. Mô hình được kiểm tra trong không gian thí nghiệm có diện tích 100 m², có khả năng vận chuyển vật phẩm nhỏ kích thước tối đa 20 × 20 cm. Quỹ đạo di chuyển được thiết lập thông qua hệ tọa độ hai chiều. Sau hơn 50 lần thử nghiệm cho thấy độ chính xác đạt sai số xấp xỉ 10,4 ± 5,1 cm so với quỹ đạo mong muốn. Bên cạnh đó, một ứng dụng di động được phát triển để điều khiển xe và quản lý đơn hàng theo thời gian thực. Kết quả cho thấy hệ thống góp phần cải thiện quy trình vận hành kho hàng. Tuy nhiên, vùng diện tích khảo sát cần được tiếp tục mở rộng ở các nghiên cứu tiếp theo để có thể đáp ứng với các kho hàng lớn.
