| dc.description.abstract | Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are increasingly being integrated into intralogistics operations, playing a pivotal role in material handling within the Industry 4.0 framework. In this context, a central unit oversees programming and planning decisions, while AMRs independently communicate and negotiate with other resources, such as machines and systems, decentralizing decision-making processes. These advancements have significantly impacted traditional methods and decision-making processes for planning and control. This study analyzes the use of simulation to evaluate AMRs in supplying XYZ factory assembly lines, with a view toward future implementation on the factory floor. Beyond comparisons, the study aims to assess AMR performance to determine their feasibility and provide analytical validation. Various simulation models were developed using SIMIO software to achieve these goals, followed by iterative adaptations and testing through simulation. The findings provide valuable insights into the role of AMRs in Industry 4.0- based production networks. They offer production managers practical guidance for determining optimal configurations and evaluating the performance impacts of AMR-based production networks compared to traditional assembly lines. | eng |
