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.
