Customer Background
This case study demonstrates how the LDS2030B5-5S Safety LiDAR is deployed on a port AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) in Thailand to enable real-time obstacle detection and collision prevention in narrow container lanes. The solution significantly enhances safety and reliability in automated port operations.
Real-time obstacle detection on port AGV using LDS2030B5-5S Safety LiDAR
Project Background
Modern ports are rapidly adopting AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) systems to improve efficiency and reduce manual handling. However, AGVs operating in container yards face several safety challenges:
· Narrow driving paths between containers
· Limited visibility due to stacked cargo
· Dynamic interaction with workers and other vehicles
Traditional safety solutions are often insufficient in such complex environments.
To address these challenges, our Thailand customer integrated the LDS2030B5-5S Safety LiDAR into their AGV system.
Application Scenario
The solution is applied to a port AGV operating in container transport lanes, where:
· AGVs autonomously transport containers
· Pathways are confined and structured
· Unexpected obstacles may appear
The Safety LiDAR continuously scans the forward area and builds a real-time protective field.
On-Site Installation
The LDS2030B5-5S is installed:
· On the front side of the AGV
· Aligned with the driving direction
· Configured to cover the entire forward path
This ensures immediate detection of any obstacle entering the safety zone.
Working Principle
The Safety LiDAR functions as a core perception sensor in the AGV system.
By continuously scanning the environment:
· It detects objects within predefined safety zones
· Sends signals to the AGV control system
· Triggers automatic deceleration or stop
This enables safe navigation even in low-visibility and dynamic port environments.
