- Challenge
- When deploying large-scale AGV, AMR or OHT systems, it is difficult to predict whether target KPIs such as throughput and lead time can be achieved, and data to determine the optimal fleet size and operating policies is insufficient.
- Solution
- A virtual logistics automation system was built to replicate real-world physical constraints, operational logic and system communications, enabling virtual testing under production conditions across scenarios including material flow changes and equipment failures.
- Results
- Simulation helped avoid unnecessary investment by determining the optimal robot fleet size and specifications required to achieve target KPIs, and multiple operating policies were evaluated in advance.
