AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) transportation system has been developed and applied in the finishing yard of stainless roiling mill in Kashima Steel Works in October 2001, aiming for higher efficiency of transportation and manpower saving. This new system which transports coils among several manufacturing process lines is a part of the total logistical system of stainless rolling mill. The new AGV transportation system has been operating successfully and contributing to improvement of 37% in labor productivity of the stainless rolling mill together with other improvements. Two engineering technologies applied for developing this system are as follows: 1) Computer simulation method for transportation to decide the optimum specification of new transportation system in designing process. 2) Control technology of several AGV operations in the single route transportation system with interactive areas. These two engineering technologies are indispensable to the application of AGV transportation system for handling stainless (and steel) coils in the finishing yard, and especially, to the development of effective AGV system for the complicated transportation.
