Driverless carriers for line feeding and in-plant logistics: they slide under the cart, lift it and carry it along their route.
The carrier slides under the material cart, lifts it and takes it to the target station along a defined route. It takes the back-and-forth between buffer stock and the line off the operator.
A material request from the line becomes a task for the vehicle; when it is free it moves on to the next one.
In the Sahne factory simulation, AMRs, a forklift and crossings run together with the work orders; traffic waits, batteries and line-side material are all part of the calculation.
With the sample load of the SORA demo factory, adding a fourth AMR did not change the finish date: the bottleneck was the CNC lathe, not transport. Knowing that before you invest means not buying a vehicle you don't need.
SORA demo factory, sample load; not order data.
Line simulation
Route, loading points and stations are set for your line; the load and the path are chosen together on site.
