A)Main frame computer
B)Automated guided vehicle
C)Material handling system
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are designed to be adaptable and versatile. They typically include a mainframe computer for control and coordination, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for material transport, and a material handling system to manage the flow of materials. Therefore, all the mentioned components are integral parts of an FMS.

Question 13

From the following what is the full form of AGV?
A)Automatic Guided Vehicle
B)Automated Gas Vehicle
C)Automated Guided Vehicle
D)None of the above

Accepted Answer

Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) is the correct full form, referring to a portable robot that follows along marked long lines or wires on the floor, or uses radio waves, vision cameras, magnets, or lasers for navigation.
