Abstract

[One of the challenges in current assembly systems is the elimination of production stoppages due to the shortage in consumable materials needed in the assembly stations. This chapter discusses how the latest advances in autonomous robots can be exploited for addressing this challenge. These mobile robot units are responsible for transferring consumable material from the factory’s warehouses to the assembly stations. A service-based control system is suggested for (a) scheduling these intralogistics operations based on the real time inventory levels in the workstations, (b) dispatching the operations to the mobile robot units, coordinating their execution. The suggested system has been tested in a case study from the automotive sectors. For the validation of the system’s performance and the optimal mobile unit structure, Discrete Event Simulation has been used. The findings indicate that the introduced material supply system can provided high quality solutions considering the end users’ requirements.]
