Factors which impact the required number of vehicles

Number
of AGVs
Flow Path
Network
One of the most important factors
which determine the performance
level of a material handling system
P/D Unit is the number of material handling
Stations Load
devices operating in the system

The number of vehicles required so the system can

operate efficiently is influenced by the unit load size and
the flow path network and the location of P/D stations
The number of required vehicles has to be evaluated
considering both economic and operational aspects
