  According to the article “What is an AGV: The Comprehensive Guide,” the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) was first invented with the intention of improving efficiency and enhancing safety in material handling processes across an array of industries; they are designed to work autonomously by adhering to predetermined paths set for the vehicle by the user (Solving, 2024). The forklift AGV is able to hold, pick up, and drop off loads of up to 10,000 lbs. with enhanced safety and efficiency compared to the traditional forklift (IQS Directory, n.d.). The main system components of the forklift AGV are replaceable and modifiable to suit the user’s needs for the job, such as the map layout, ground condition, obstacle density, and varying loads, to name a few, including sensors and motors (Pepperl+Fuchs, 2021). In 1-2 years, most forklift AGVs will be far superior to traditional forklifts in terms of efficiency, cost-saving capabilities, and safety. The AGV is able to work efficiently with en
