SnoxBox, the epitome of smartness
What makes the SnoxBox unique is that it can also be adapted to equipment other than snox AGVs. It can therefore be used for upgrading existing AGVs which are using obsolete technology, for example.The snoxBox can control laser guidance, optical guidance, magnetic guidance or wire guided AGV to deal with all eventualities.
Applications
- Existing AGV upgrade
- Automation of electric stacker equipment (depending on make)
- snoxBox supplied according to specifications for AGV applications

Expansion |
Expansion boards for additional I/Os Extra communication ports Radio or Wi-Fi communication module for use by a central computer in multiple-vehicle applications, etc. |
It also controls the communication between AGVs or with a centrally-controlled computer so that several vehicles may be used in a single application.
Flexibility
The snoxBox is designed to be able to increase the capacity of AGVs and integrate specific developments through additional input and output modules:
- Control via a control joystick,
- Link to production PLCs via an OPC server,
- Master/slave connection of more than one SnoxBox via an analogue-to-digital converter bus, ensuring open control of the number of motors,
- Fast and simple interface with SIEMENS and SCHNEIDER PLCs.
This board uses RFID technology, whereby passive antennae are inserted into the ground. These chips can divide the AGV circuit into various areas, manage the common branches and priorities or send additional information to the AGV (acceleration, deceleration or switching).
Finally, as the SnoxBox is associated with the intuitive SNOX_TRAFFIC-LE programming software, flexibility and smoothness during use is of a level hitherto unknown in the AGV field.
Sample application

Specific project features |
Replacement of 9 old control boards by a single snoxBox Operation of upgraded vehicles identical to the rest (flexibility of snoxBox programming) Operates using old generation wire guidance system Communication with the line PLCs by sending information to the wire guidance system (using a specially developed antenna for receiving and sending signals) |
