Abstract
Experimental Analysis of Process Parameters of Robot Onboard AGVS for Material Handling in Plant Layouts with and without Split Loads
Highlights
The AGVS Product Section of the Material Handling Institute [1] defines an automated guided vehicle as “a vehicle equipped with automatic guided equipment of electromagnetic or optical is capable of programming and stop selection, blocking, and any other special functions required by the system”
The results shown below are based on application of Material handling with split loads (MHSL) and without MHSL
Bi-directional flow path is considered for the movement of the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
Summary
When the total load to be delivered between a specific origin and destination is less than or equal to AGV capacity, the load considered to be split if the AGV picks up any amount that is less than the full load size requiring service. For experimentation the first M/C is considered as input where pick up of loads takes place and the M/C is considered as output where drop off of the loads takes place by the AGV This material handling procedure is repeated for all the layouts with 2 to 10 number of M/Cs. Figures 5-8 shows the layouts used for experimentation with bidirectional flow path for the movement of the prototype AGV. Experimental work is carried out using AGV with onboard robot for layouts with 2 to 10 M/Cs with and without split load approaches. Bi-directional flow path is considered for the movement of AGVS
