Abstract
The use of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in manufacturing systems has become particularly widespread in the latter period, thanks to the intensification of automation and to the adoption of the Industry 4.0 principle. Modern AGVs can also have greater autonomy then before, thanks to the advancement of the related technologies which further improve their applicability in numerous complex settings. In the Industry 4.0 principle, the use of predictive simulations in relation to manufacturing logistics systems also plays an important role, which applies to the modelling of the operation of AGVs as well. In light of these developments, the current paper introduces an initial model with the aim to demonstrate a possible approach for modelling the operation of freely moving AGVs in a discrete event simulation environment. The model is made with Plant Simulation, a widely applied discrete event simulation software. The presented approach opens the door for multiple future research avenues and could also serve as a basis for a further developed general model with wider utilization possibilities.
