We consider the scheduling method that allows to minimize traveling time of a AGV (and thus energy consumption) at each zones, while waiting automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and/or containers for pickup and delivery (PD) transfer points (TPs) installed between adjacent zones in tandem systems. Scheduling these systems is often not possible from single point by intelligent agent. Intead, has be ...

To achieve Industry 4.0 solutions for the networking of mechatronic components in production plants, use Internet Things (IoT) technology is optimal way goods transportation cyber-physical system (CPS). As a result, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are networked to all other participants accept and execute transport jobs. Accurately tracking planned paths AGVs therefore essential. The omnidirec...

| Characterization of a relatively simple optical sensor system used for recognition of the desired xed trajectory for an Automated Guided Vehicle, painted on an industrial shop oor, is described. The optical sensor consists of 14 IR emitter-detector pairs arranged in two columns and is xed underneath the vehicle chassis. A microcomputer-based test platform for evaluation of the proposed sensor...

Factory automation design engineers building the Smart can use wireless 5G broadband networks for added flexibility. New Radio builds upon previous cellular communications standards to include technology “massive machine-type communication” and “ultra-reliable low-latency communication”. In this work, authors augment an automated guided vehicle with additional capabilities (e.g., streaming high...

This paper addresses the simultaneous job input sequencing and vehicle dispatching problems in flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) using a single device Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS). A Branch and Bound approach based on simulation has been previously developed. However, efficient easily computable lower bounds are still required to provide solutions for small and medium size problems...
