“…Therefore, articles in this group focused on technologies and methods for collecting real-time data on elements on the AGV route. In the analyzed publications, this data was directly collected by the transport device [95][96][97][98], by using cameras [96,[98][99][100][101][102], laser sensors [95,[99][100][101][103][104][105], and ultrasound [95], as well as indirectly, using sensors located on a human (Ultra-wideband system-UWB) [99,104,[106][107][108]. In some articles, hybrid solutions were presented [101,103,104,109,110,112].…”

Background: This article presents the results of a literature review from 2018 to 2023, which focused on research related to human and AGV system cooperation in a shared workspace. This study defines AGV systems as systems using Automated Guided Vehicles or Autonomous Guided Vehicles. An Automated Guided Vehicle is a cart that follows a guided path, while an Autonomous Guided Vehicle is an Automated Guided Vehicle that is autonomously controlled. The analyses conducted answered two research questions: (RQ1) In what aspects are the human factor examined in publications on the implementation and operation of AGV systems? (RQ2) Has the human-AGV collaboration aspect been analyzed in the context of a sustainable work environment? Methods: The literature review was conducted following the systematic literature review method, using the PRISMA approach. Results: Based on the search of two journal databases, according to the indicated keywords, 1219 documents pertaining to the analyzed issues were identified. The selection and elimination of documents that did not meet the defined criteria made it possible to limit the number of publications to 117 articles and proceedings papers. On this basis, the authors defined a classification framework comprising five basic research categories and nine subcategories. The analyzed documents were classified, and each distinguished group was characterized by describing the results. Conclusions: The development of a two-level classification framework for research from the analyzed area according to the assumptions of the concept map and the identification of research gaps in the area of human-AGV interaction.

“…Reference [11] presents a software location and tracking of forklift trucks using UWB technology in an industrial environment providing an acceptable accuracy in LoS (Line of Sight) conditions between tag and anchors. In [12], a combination of localization systems using UWB and Pedestrian Dead Reckoning (PDR) based methods are analyzed in order to provide a strong and reliable tracking of workers in factory environments. Reference [13] evaluates an UWB system in a dense node network providing improved mathematical models that ensure to know the supported user density of the localization system.…”

The advent of Indsutrial Internet of Things is one of the main drivers for the implementation of Industry 4.0 scenarios and applications, in which wireless communication systems play a key role in terms of flexibility, mobility and deployment capabilities. However, the integration of wireless communication systems poses challenges, owing to variable path loss conditions and interference impact. In this work, an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) system for indoor location in very large, complex industrial scenarios is presented. Precise wireless channel characterization for the complete volume of a logistical plant is performed, based on 3D hybrid ray launching approximation, in order to aid network node design process. Wireless characterization, implementation and measurement results are obtained for both 4 GHz and 6 GHz frequency bands, considering different densities of scatterers within the scenario under test. Time domain estimation results have been obtained and compared with time of flight measurement results, showing good agreement. The proposed methodology enables to perform system design and performance tasks, analyzing the impact of variable object density conditions in wireless channel response, providing accurate time of flight estimations without the need of complex channel sounder systems, aiding in optimal system planning and implementation.
