    This document contains four examples related to automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) and conveyor systems. The first example provides details about an AGVS layout and asks the reader to determine travel distances, cycle time, and number of vehicles required to meet a delivery demand. The second example shows an AGVS layout with load, production, and unload stations and asks the reader to calculate average delivery distance. The third example describes a roller conveyor system and asks the reader to determine spacing between parts carriers, maximum flow rate, and minimum unloading time. The fourth example evaluates a recirculating conveyor system design based on Kwo's three principles.

    Lecture #15 Handout

    Example 1
    Consider the AGVS layout in the following figure. Vehicles travel counter clockwise around the
    loop to deliver loads from the load station to the unload station. Loading time at the load station =
    0.75 min and unloading time at unloading station = 0.50 min. we are interested in determining how
    many vehicles are required to satisfy demand for this layout if a total of 40 delivery per hour must
    be completed by the AGVS. The following performance parameters are given: vehicle velocity =
    50 m/min, availability = 0.95, traffic factor = 0.90, and operator efficiency does not apply, so Ew =
    1.0. Determine (a) travel distances loaded and empty, (b) ideal delivery cycle time, and (c) number
    of vehicles required to satisfy the delivery demand.

    Example 2
    Consider the following figure and table. The AGVS includes load station 1 where raw parts enter
    the sys tern for delivery to any of three production stations 2, 3, and 4. Unload station 5 receives
    finished parts from the production stations. Load and unload times at stations 1 and 5 are each 0.5
    min. production rates for each workstation are indicated by the delivery requirements in the
    following table. A complicating factor is that some parts must be transshipped between station s 3
    and 4. Vehicles move in the direction indicated by the arrows in the figure. Determine the
    average delivery distance Ld.

    Example 3
    A roller conveyor follows a pathway 35 m long between a part production department and an
    assembly department. Velocity of the conveyor is 40 m/min. Parts are loaded into large tote pans
    which are placed onto the conveyor at the load station in the production department. Two operators
    work at the loading station. The first worker loads parts into tote pans, which takes 25 sec. each
    tote pan holds 20 parts. Parts enter the loading station from production at a rate that in balance with
    this 25-sec cycle. The second worker loads tote pans onto the conveyor, which takes only 10 sec.
    determine (a) spacing between tote pans along the conveyor, (b) maximum possible flow rate in
    parts/min, and (c) the minimum time required to unload the tote pan in the assembly department.

    Example 4
    A recirculating conveyor has a total length of 300 m. its speed is 60 m/min, and the spacing of part
    carriers along its length is 12 m. each carrier can hold two parts. The task time required to load two
    parts into each carrier is 0.20 min and the unload time is the same. The required loading and
    unloading rates are both defined by the specified flow rate which is 4 parts/min. evaluate the
    conveyor system design with respect to Kwos three principles.
