SIMULATION MODELING OF AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE SYSTEM BASED ON JIT PHILOSOPHY
Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system, as a very important part of production system which has been studied and researched for decades. It performs centralized control on vehicles efficiently with responsibility for transportation that brings much benefit to production management. JIT philosophy is a famous production theory, the purpose of which is to make every activity just in time to keep promise to demand as expectation. In this paper, a simulation study of AGV system based on JIT philosophy is presented. The hypothetic workshop layout which consists of multiple stations and bi-directional paths with multiple AGVs is adopted, that makes the dispatching problem for AGVs much more complicated. A simple junction structure is introduced into the system to deal with the problem of deadlock avoidance for AGVs at junctions connecting bidirectional paths. And in addition, the movements of AGVs after completing the assignments are also examined, which are rarely focused in other literatures. At end of the paper, the efficiency of presented AGV system is shown in final simulation experimental results.
