No AI in AGV project planning

Why do we place so much emphasis on advisory services before, during and even after a project? That is easily explained. Unfortunately SAFELOG cannot offer a quick calculator on our website that calculates within seconds the number of mobile transport robots needed in your project as well as the amount of transfer stations, battery charging stations or other peripheral equipment.

This is not because we are bad at mathematics, but rather because so many individual factors have to be taken into account that they cannot be represented in a simple calculation tool. Some process characteristics cannot even be represented mathematically, which further distorts the results. Every industry, every operating environment, every warehouse, every process has its own peculiarities that have to be taken into account. A simple calculator cannot do this.

In order to obtain a valid database on the basis of which we can provide a reliable estimate, SAFELOG relies on a detailed questionnaire and personal contact. By answering the questionnaire and identifying special features and problems during the on-site meeting, we can make the desired forecast on the type and scope of the required AGVs and peripheral equipment. For example, we clarify what type of process is involved. We distinguish between Pick (e.g. Goods-to-Person, Person-to-Goods, …), Move (assembly interlinking, picking → dispatch, goods receipt → warehouse, …) and Assemble (assembly platform, …). We also look at the entire flow of your intralogistics to define processes that are suitable for automation with mobile transport robots and phases within the process chain that should be tackled first.

Feel free to contact us and we will send you our project questionnaire. After processing the form and initial discussions, a project calculator is also used at SAFELOG.
