Herausforderungen für die Projektierung von Mobilen Robotern (FTS und AMR)

This paper elaborates the importance of extensive planning when deploying complex intralogistics systems involving Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). The deployment for such a system is divided into different planning phases. Requirements for the tools which can be used in relation to the objectives in the respective phases are pointed out. An overview for different types of planning tools is given. Important challenges for a realistic implementation of AGVs and AMRs in (3D)-simulation and how they can be overcome is discussed in additional detail in relation to a simulation library developed for Visual Components. A virtual commissioning approach for connecting the real Fleet Manager and other software services that implement material flow logic is presented as a promising approach for Mobile Robot planning.
