System and method of operating automated guided vehicle

A method of operating an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) in which an operation server of a vehicle production factory transfers a component, the method comprising:

• selecting the AGV for transferring the component in consideration of a type and a size of the component when component transfer work is planned, and generating a travelling path from a start point to an end point thereof;
• collecting each Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) memory data from a Programmable Logic Controller which is provided for each of a plurality of nodes existing on the travelling path and controls a surrounding automation facility;
• inquiring the PLC memory data and setting a PLC control condition for operating the automation facility for each section based on a movement position of the AGV;
• and
• transmitting the PLC control condition matched to a memory address of the PLC for each section, and transmitting the travelling path and an operation condition for each section to the AGV.

A system for operating an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), the system comprising:

• the AMR which is loaded with a component in a vehicle production factory and transfers the component along a set travelling path;
• a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) which is provided for each of a plurality of nodes existing in a process line and the traveling path and is configured to control a surrounding automation facility;
• and
• an operation server which is configured to control an operation of the AMR and the automation facility through the PLC, and to set a PLC control condition for controlling the automation facility for each section between the nodes by collecting PLC memory data from the PLC and inquiring the PLC memory data based on a movement position of the AMR when the travelling path is set.
