Abstract

This paper presents a research of unidirectional AGVS (automated Guided Vehicles System) with battery management in a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) based on simulation. Although battery management is important for vehicle management, this problem is usually omitted in research. It is difficult to research the AGVS in FMS from using an analytic method. So in this paper, a parameterized simulation model of AGVS with battery management is built by using computer simulation. The result verified the reliability of the AGVS, and can be used in the future design.
