The industrial environment in which independent platforms have to ensure the transfer of semi-finished products is dense in events. Elimination of collision's possibilities, blockages related to possible defects or supply problems would provide a significant increase in production line productivity. Cheap Automated Guided Vehicles (CAGV) will lead to even more agglomeration of work space, which requires collaborative communication between systems. This article addresses the implementation of a communication module between the experimental CAGV s that have been made so that collisions can be prevented, but also the transfer speed can be adapted to the change of workflow at master's request. At the end of the article are presented the possibilities of expanding the communication capabilities between CAGV at the level of an enterprise that falls within the concept of Industry 4.0.
