Equipment control method and device, server, storage medium and equipment control system

The embodiment of the invention provides an equipment control method and device, a server, a storage medium and an equipment control system. A protection area with a certain area is arranged behind anAGV, and the protection area behind the AGV is not used by other AGVs all the time when the AGV moves, so that a worker can follow the AGV to move to a target position in the protection area and cannot be impacted by other AGVs; meanwhile, the area where the AGVs pass through except the protection area is released in time, the released area can be applied for use again by any AGV, and the influence on normal operation of the AGVs due to arrangement of the protection area is reduced. 本发明实施例提供了一种设备控制方法、装置、服务器、存储介质及设备控制系统，通过在AGV后方设置一定面积的保护区域，在AGV移动时时刻保持AGV后方的保护区域不被其他AGV使用，可以使工作人员在保护区域内跟随AGV运行至目标位置，而不会被其他AGV撞击；同时，及时释放除保护区域外的AGV已通过区域，释放的区域可被任何AGV再次申请使用，减小了因设置保护区域对各AGV正常作业的影响。
