Pengisian Muatan Baterai Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) Otomatis Berbasis Arduino Mega 2560

Abstract

A battery as a main power of AGV provides limited electricity that need to be recharged. Conventional AGV battery charger is less effective and less efficient because it needs human to be operated. It also does not have a charging notification system. Usually, an AGV operator monitor some charging stations which has been operated at different areas. An operator’s carelessness when monitoring can cause a bad effect of AGV’s performance. Therefore, we made automatic AGV’s battery charger using Arduino Mega 2560 with timing and charging notification system in order to charge the AGV’s battery based on time and reporting if there is something wrong on charging process. The charging time can be set by operator through HMI. The charging status sent by SMS using SIM900 GSM module.
