Análise do desempenho de movimentação de carga com plataforma: seguidor de linha ou trilho

Abstract

The objective of this work was the development of an analysis by a line follower prototype (AGV), improving cargo transport in manufacturing environment, with comparative analysis regarding the use of transport by rail (VLT). In order to improve and control applications in a more efficient transport system. After reviewing the settings reported in the literature, the positives and negatives of some of the settings that were combined to determine the best architecture used in the physical arrangement. Vehicles that move automatically are increasingly present in industries. The application of this assessment in the manufacturing environment takes the Department of Planning and Production Control to measure the manufacturing process to have to manage the stages of production in order to optimize costs. The benefits of improved and a standalone carrier in the industry go far beyond the displacement of material, it can dictate the pace of production and balancing the workload in each of the activities ensuring that the strategic management of the company is reached or detecting bottlenecks. Industries generally have sought to improve transport efficiency, reduce risk of accidents and increase production. There are various industries which can implement the automatic transport system by line follower vehicle. Thus, this project describes the development of a follower platform line, being assessed on a platform by rail, which is done the evaluation of transport for a prototype on a fictitious industry with a given load in scale from one point to another, with reconfiguration path to improved logistics freight transport.
