AGV \/ STR Pick-Interface Boundary Layer<\/p>\n

AGV Pick Stations, Charge Cells and the Q235 Warehouse Guard Rail: The Static Map Reference Beneath an ATS Re-Route<\/h2>\n

An AGV \/ STR pick cell concentrates 3-ton forklift handover, picker reach and AGV deceleration into a 3 m cell. The ATS map can re-draw every shift, but the safety case cannot. A bolted, modular Q235 corrugated steel warehouse guard rail becomes the static map reference that the pick cell anchors to. It defines the AGV approach envelope, blocks cross-traffic forklifts and pedestrians from the same cell, and absorbs the out-of-zone recovery strike when an AGV exits its map-defined lane \u2014 the visible hardware layer beneath every ATS re-route.<\/p>\n

Pick-Cell Boundary Hardware: What Stays Fixed When the Map Changes<\/h2>\n

The numbers below describe the rail that anchors the AGV approach line. They are not an independent crash rating. The 16,680 N figure is a project demand condition from a recorded multi-cell opportunity (3-ton forklift at 10 km\/h) \u2014 it is the value the rail was designed against, not a third-party impact test result.<\/p>\n

Three Jobs the Rail Does in an AGV Pick Cell<\/h2>\n
\n

The AGV approach anchor<\/h3>\n

The bolted Q235 corrugated steel rail is fixed to the slab at 1,500 mm post centres. The rail line itself is the AGV approach boundary that the ATS map references. The AGV pilot never crosses the rail; the picker works inside it; the forklift drop-off stops outside it. Three traffic flows in the same cell, one physical line that does not change when the ATS map re-draws for the next peak or the next slot.<\/p>\n

The cross-traffic blocker<\/h3>\n

Without a fixed boundary, a counter-balanced forklift cuts across the AGV approach path to reach a downstream pick face. The 1,000 mm double-rail beam \u2014 160 \u00d7 160 \u00d7 16 mm base, M16 anchor bolts, 85 mm wave height \u2014 is sized to absorb the project demand-condition strike (16,680 N) without panel separation. The corrugated profile keeps the rail on the floor after the impact, so the pick cell stays locked and the AGV does not lose its approach reference.<\/p>\n

The out-of-zone recovery absorber<\/h3>\n

When an AGV exits its map-defined lane \u2014 a recovery manoeuvre after a LiDAR drop-out, a magnetic-tape splice, a low-battery pull-in \u2014 the corrugated beam carries the residual strike energy. A 3 mm or 4 mm Q235 carbon steel panel, 85 mm wave height and 310 mm rail width give the EHS pack a visible hardware layer for ISO 3691-4 and ANSI\/RIA R15.08 documentation. The rail is the static physical artifact that the audit reads; the ATS map is the dynamic overlay the safety case is anchored to.<\/p>\n
