Modified Banker's algorithm for scheduling in multi-AGV systems
2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering, 2011In today’s highly complex multi-AGV systems key research objective is finding a scheduling and routing policy that avoids deadlock while assuring that vehicle utilization is as high as possible. It is well known that finding such an optimal policy is a NP-hard task in general case.

Declarative Approach to AGVS Modeling and Cyclic Scheduling
Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013The paper presents constraint satisfaction problem driven approach to analytical solution of the cyclic scheduling problem in the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) producing multi-type parts where for material handling are used the Automated Guide Vehicles Systems (AGVS).

Models for AGVs’ Scheduling and Routing
2015An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a driverless material handling system used for horizontal movement of materials. AGVs were introduced in 1955 (Muller, 1983). The use of AGVs has grown enormously since their introduction. The number of areas of application and variation in types has increased significantly.

Mission Scheduling of Multi-AGV System With Dynamic Simulation
2020 International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS), 2020In this paper, the mission scheduling problem of multi-AGVs in automatic warehouse system is considered. The scheduling problem is modeled as an optimization problem, where the time to accomplish the missions is to be minimized. The objective function is obtained considering the time for a AGV to do the mission in four stages, and the number of ...

Scheduling and Re-scheduling of AGVs for Flexible and Agile Manufacturing
1995This chapter deals with a. modeling and scheduling flexible and agile manufacturing system (FAMS) using AGVs, and b. re-scheduling the system in the case of trouble, by using Timed Petri Net (TPN). The purpose is 1. to provide a solution to the coordination problems of AGVs transferring a series of jobs to the appointed machining cells so as to ...

Integrating AGV schedules in a scheduling system for a flexible manufacturing environment
Proceedings of the 1994 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2002In a job shop where machining time takes a comparable amount as material transportation time, it is no longer realistic to ignore the scheduling of material transportation systems such as automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The authors' algorithm discussed in this paper integrates AGV schedules into a heuristic-based scheduling algorithm to achieve the ...

AGV scheduling for automated material distribution: a case study
Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, 2009We have studied the scheduling of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for efficient and uniform material distribution from a truck-dock to machining units of the machine shop in an automotive manufacturing plant. The material distribution problem, being a much simpler special case of the more general material transfer problem, is easily amenable to ...
