Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The GLS100 is used for automatic localization of automatic guided vehicle system (AGV
systems) in warehouses, logistics and distribution.
The device detects and decodes 2D codes which are attached in the form of a grid
on the floor. Using the data provided by the device, the AGV system is localized and
repositioned by a higher-level control (e.g. PLC). The device is primarily designed for
use in industrial and logistics areas. It meets the applicable requirements for industrial
robustness, interfaces, and data processing.
