| Abstract: | This paper examines the operation of multiple load AGV's in a flexible manufacturing system where AGV's are capable of carrying two or more loads. The load selection problem arises when an AGV stops at a pick-up queue and has to decide which parts should be picked up. Five heuristic rules that may be used to select the load to be carried were evaluated with the aid of computer simulation. The results suggest that when the carrying capacity of the AGV increases, the performance differences among the rules also increase. |
