Simulationsmodell für FTS in Produktionsumgebungen unter Berücksichtigung des Facility Layout Problems

In flexible manufacturing systems, an automated guided vehicle (AGV) is often used for material transport. To simulate this transport system, a production environment with aisles and transfer points is required. The arrangement of individual areas within a production environment can be done by solving the Facility Layout Problem (FLP). However, the previous solution methods only consider individual aspects and there are hardly any solution methods that consider the entire production system with regard to the material transport system. Due to this, a FLP solving method that also considers aspects regarding the material handling system is useful so that the created production environments can be simulated and/or used in practice. Therefore, both topics - FLP and AGV - should be considered together.
