On the use of automated guided vehicles in flexible manufacturing systems
In manufacturing systems, material transport plays a key role for production process efficiency. Because of their advantages over other material handling systems such as conveyors and robots, AGVs are widely used in flexible manufacturing systems. The scheduling of several AGVs in a non-conflicting manner is a complicated problem, especially when the AGV system is bi-directional. In fact, many ...
متن کاملDeadlock Avoidance and Re-routing of Automated Guided Vehicles (agvs) in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (fms)
A flexible manufacturing system (FMS) is a manufacturing system in which there is some amount of flexibility that allows the system to react in case of changes, whether predicted or unpredicted. This flexibility is generally considered to fall into two categories. The first category, machine flexibility which enables the work stations to perform different operations simultaneously on a part whe...
متن کاملA Multi-Agent Based Approach to Dynamic Scheduling of Machines and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) in Manufacturing Systems by Considering AGV Breakdowns
In a competitive business environment, producing goods on time plays a very important role. In addition to regular control complexities in manufacturing environments, some unforeseen technical problems may affect the efficiency of production. The breakdown of automated guided vehicles (AGV) during manufacturing is one of these problems. This problem generally requires an instantaneous solution ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation to Compare Markovian and Neural Network Models for Reliability Assessment in Multiple AGV Manufacturing System
We compare two approaches for a Markovian model in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) using Monte Carlo simulation. The model which is a development of Fazlollahtabar and Saidi-Mehrabad (2013), considers two features of automated flexible manufacturing systems equipped with automated guided vehicle (AGV) namely, the reliability of machines and the reliability of AGVs in a multiple AGV jobsho...
متن کاملA Job Shop Scheduling and Location of Battery Charging Storage for the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
When the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are transferring the parts from one machine to another in a job shop environment, it is possible that AGVsstopon their guidepaths since their batteries are discharged.Consequently, it is essential to establish at least one Battery Charging Storage (BCS) to replace full batteries with empty batteries for the stopped AGVs. Due to non-predictable routes fo...
