Automated guided vehicles

AGV and AMR: routes, fleet size and integration into existing material flow and warehouse processes.

In brief

Automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots handle in-house transport without drivers. Bross Consulting plans routes, fleet size and integration into existing material flow and warehouse processes.

Automated guided vehicles (AGV) and autonomous mobile robots (AMR) handle in-house transport without drivers. Planning determines routes, fleet size and integration into existing processes.

When it matters

An AGV system is useful for recurring transports, rising transport volumes, or when staff are to be relieved of driving.

Approach

From the transport matrix and layout, routes, fleet size and interfaces are derived and assessed against alternatives.

Results / deliverables

Project-specific results and deliverables are added here.

The definition is given in the glossary entry automated guided vehicle.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do AGV and AMR differ?

Automated guided vehicles usually follow fixed routes; autonomous mobile robots navigate more freely and avoid obstacles on their own.

What determines the required fleet size?

Fleet size depends on transport volumes, distances, cycle times and the vehicles' charging or waiting times.
