Abstract :
A method for performing preliminary, or rough-cut, design and analysis of automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems in which a large number of alternatives can be examined is described. The procedures are based on analytic models and are combined into an integrated engineering workstation environment. Also included in the workstation is a simulation/animation module which is used after the preliminary analysis is performed. The resulting system allows a complete study of an AGV system to be accomplished
