TUG Route Planning
CAD drawings are imported into a graphical interface program to create maps
which the TUG uses to navigate. We also use the CAD drawings (as seen below)
to visually identify the TUG path for the customer and show the location of the
power requirements.

module. This module contains features to control and prioritize TUG traffic,
including:
• Locking points –controls the ability of TUGs to pass in a particular hallway
at the same time
• Buffering/Staging – controls the number of TUGs permitted to queue or
pre-stage in selected areas of the pathway
• Elevator choice –controls TUG access to elevators based on cargo, time
of day, availability, etc.
• Demand priority/proximity –controls the selection of vehicles and order in
which requests for TUG service are met (assuming they cannot all be met
simultaneously)
