Simplified Guided
A Revolutionary Peripheral Device... SmartPanel
An Ergonomic Operator Interface and So Much More…
Daifuku’s Jervis B. Webb Company has
developed the SmartPanel to enhance the
functionality of its Automatic Guided Vehi-
cle (AGV) product lines. The SmartPanel is
a touch-screen interface for operators with
options for I/O and integration that make it
a revolutionary development to simplify the
implementation of AGV systems.
PRIMARY FEATURES:
Economical – Using industrial proven
hardware, SmartPanels are an affordable
HMI (Human Machine Interface) while
providing vital functionality. While Smart-
Panel software can be set up quickly and
easily.
Ergonomic – SmartPanels can be installed
within easy reach of personnel to reduce
ergonomic stress and increase productivity.
OPTIONS:
• Screen size: 3.5” or 5.7”
• Add: 20 Inputs / 10 Outputs
• Add: 802.11a/b/g Radio
INTEGRATION:
SmartPanel has two distinct methods of
integration:
Integrated with Webb’s System Automation
Manager (SAM) software, SmartPanel
gives operators an ergonomic interface to
interact with system controls and brings
I/O interaction to the SAM system.
Standalone piece of equipment that interacts
directly with SmartCart AGCs (automatic
guided carts) to perform functions with-
out the need for a SAM system.
SAM Integration with SmartPanel
SmartPanels can be integrated with up
to 127 AGCs and existing plant con-
trols. SmartPanels eliminate the need for
centralized controls and allow quick system
deployment, making initial deployment
fast and future modifications simple.
System Input and Output Connectivity –
Deploying I/O in an AGV system is one of
the most costly tasks in implementing an
AGV system. The introduction of Smart-
Panel and optional I/O with standardized
SAM functions dramatically simplifies this
task. The HMI also offers Maintenance
Personnel the ability to view status of I/O
for improved troubleshooting.
FUNCTIONS:
Remote Call – This button allows the
designer to designate a location where a
vehicle will become available to be called
from and designate the destination where
the vehicle will go. The button indicates
that the vehicle is in transit and when the
vehicle has arrived at the intended location.
Vehicle Integration
SmartPanel
Remote Release – A button of this type
allows the operator to indicate to SAM
when it is okay for a vehicle to leave a sta-
tion. For example, an operator would press
the button when work is complete, so the
vehicle would proceed to the next station
in an assembly line.
Remote Destination – This button has
several modes of operation. Two modes
work similar to Remote Call, but have
different status text to express a different
nature of the vehicles movement. A third
mode can optionally respond to an input
from an external source.
Smart Release – This button can option-
ally interact with the operator and be used
to interact with I/O on the SmartPanel.
An example of use of this button would
be the interaction of an Aisle Crossing
Light and pressing the button would
enable the crossing.

Standalone use with SmartCart AGCs
SmartPanels can communicate directly with
up to 10 AGCs, directing them to perform
the following standard functions. This func-
tionality is exclusive to SmartCart AGCs.
REQUIREMENTS for Standalone use of
SmartPanels with AGCs:
• 802.11 option on AGCs
• 802.11 Autonomous Access Point net-
work coverage of AGC path
• Networked access of SmartPanels to AGCs
Note: lightweight access point networks
can be problematic. Known issues include
bridging Ethernet communication from
SmartPanel to AGC HMI over wireless.
