Abstract
An autonomous product picking system includes product pick up stations at different locations within a facility having call stations with activation buttons at a user interface activated by an operator to transmit call requests when the products are needed to be picked up and to transmit completion signals when the products have been picked up. An automatic guided vehicle is movable within the facility between the product pick up stations and a product drop off station. A system control module guides the AGV within the facility and includes a system communication module communicatively coupled to the AGV and the call stations. The system communication module receives the call requests and the completion signals from the call stations when the activation buttons are activated.
