Abstract
Automated guided vehicle systems have been introduced in many branches of production and logistics in recent years. In order to support this process, it is necessary to know the requirements of each industry and their areas of logistics. This provides both a basis for further development and on the other side an overview for the users of automated guided vehicle systems. The purpose of this work is to find out what requirements are placed on an automated guided vehicle system in the different areas of the industry (manufacturing, 3PL and service/attendance). It is also used to find out from a technical perspective which areas of the internal transport logistic of the industries above has potential for the use of the automated guide vehicle systems. For this purpose, information of different technologies form different manufacturers are collected and described. Subsequently, a requirement / evaluation catalog is created consisting of the performance data and the general requirements of automated guided vehicle systems. A questionnaire is developed, which is sent to companies in the areas of production, 3PL and service/attendance in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. This includes questions about the prevailing conditions in the transport areas of the enterprises such as size and weight of the transport unit, transport volume and behavior or the number of employees for transportation. Based on the results of the questionnaire the evaluation catalog is weighted. With this catalog the technologies regarding the respective division can be evaluated. It can be deduced, whether and which systems and technologies are able to meet the general and specific requirements of the various areas sufficiently. Furthermore, the evaluation of the questionnaires will be analyzed, to check the logistic areas which have potential for the use of automated guided vehicle systems from a technical point of view or where the use of these technologies due to the prevailing conditions makes no sense. These collected findings should serve a foundation for the purposeful use of existing systems and technologies, as well as for the further development of automated guided vehicle systems to meet the specific needs of the industry.
