Simulation of AGVs and AMRs in Material Flow (incl. fleet and traffic policies)
The Mobile Robots Add‑on for the Visual Components simulation plattform enables realistic simulation of AGVs and AMRs within your production and logistics environment. Plan, analyze, and optimize material flows, routes, traffic rules, and fleet concepts at an early planning stage, based on your real layouts and 3D CAD data.
Your Benefits:
– Realistic simulation of AGVs and AMRs within the factory layout
– Prevention of bottlenecks and collisions before implementation
– Validation of routes, handover points, and charging zones
– Comparison of different vehicle types and fleet strategies
– Sound decision‑making basis for investments in mobile robotics
Core Features:
– Library of mobile robots (AGV, AMR) and fleet/infrastructure elements
– Parameterizable vehicle properties (speed, acceleration, payload, dimensions)
– Definition of routes, zones, and restricted areas
– Modeling of traffic rules and priorities (e.g. intersections, bidirectional traffic, bottlenecks)
– Simulation of charging and transfer stations
– Integration with production and logistics processes
– Visualization of utilization, waiting times, and bottlenecks
– Comparison of different layout and fleet variants
Typical Application Areas:
– Planning and dimensioning of AGV/AMR systems
– Material supply for assembly and production lines
– Transition from manual transport to mobile robotics
– Scaling existing fleets with growth in volume
Target Groups:
– Factory and layout planners
– Logistics and production engineers
– Automation managers
– System integrators
