說到倉儲AGV大家一定都知道有一個叫做KIVA機器人的公司，后來被亞馬遜收購了。而且KIVA機器人不賣給亞馬遜以外的客戶。

  想一想就讓大家氣憤，想買還不賣。隨著中國崛起，電商發(fā)達了。什么淘寶、京東、蘇寧、國美等等電商崛起，都想使用KIVA機器人。但是KIVA多少錢都不賣。

  國內(nèi)AGV企業(yè)也發(fā)覺到KIVA這種AGV確實很適合電商模式，工作效率高、單車成本低等等。國內(nèi)AGV企業(yè)開啟仿照模式。因此國內(nèi)很多AGV企業(yè)開始設(shè)計出自己的倉儲AGV。并投入到實際應(yīng)用中。

  今天咱們不談倉儲AGV的二維碼導(dǎo)航技術(shù)、也不談一個AGV控制系統(tǒng)運行多少臺AGV，也不說單車運行速度快慢等技術(shù)問題。

   我想說說隨著國際化，很多國內(nèi)AGV廠商慢慢地想把倉儲AGV出口到國外，因此大家最好研究一下下面的內(nèi)容，再考慮一下出口。

  亞馬遜申請了很多專利

  關(guān)于亞馬遜在相應(yīng)國家專利情況。

  USA: Yes, Amazon/Kiva has a very broad patent US 6,895,301 in USA on goods-to-man with rack storage. A deal needs to be made with Amazon to enter the USA market.

  Canada: Unknown

  Europe: There are specific patents, listed below. There are also other Patents pending, which we advice to design around, as well as keeping a watch on, in order to prevent future lawsuits.

  以下是亞馬遜KIVA機器人技術(shù)專利情況。

  Rack rotation during travelling. EP 2 933 763 A1, EP 2 849 968 A1, CN 104364121 A

  "Second positioning", i.e. if the vehicle is stopping inaccurately, it can reverse a little bit and try again. EP 2 038 716 B1

  Combined the transporting inventory holders with MDUs and conveyance equipment. EP 2 044 495 B8, EP 2 407 845 B2

  The use of three different MDUs for getting an item from an inventory holder to an order holder and then to shipment. EP 2 100 264 A2

  Inventory restocking station or inventory pier. EP 2 904 511 A2, CN 104903921 A

  How a robot places items in a holder and then places a fixed divider to form a bin. WO 2016/064719 A1

  A robot connected to a base tool. WO 2016/130338 A1

  Most likely more...

  看到這里，大家還是好好地研究一下KIVA機器人，否則出口了，很容易遭受法律起訴呀。

  或者你想出口倉儲AGV，你首先與KIVA達成協(xié)議。
