Abstract

A transport system with automatic guided vehicles AGVs, is a fully automatic system that provides logistics services in industrial environments such as warehouses and production plants. These systems have reached such a degree of maturity as to allow, in their daily use, the application of heuristic algorithms for the optimization of the various operations they perform. For instance, find the shortest paths between working stations and storage area, assign movements and strategic positions for idle vehicles, operate efficient and long-life battery management and more. A relevant interesting algorithm, presented and developed in this thesis, concerns the sorting of products in the shipping phase, which affects the scheduling tasks assigned to the autonomous vehicles. The scheduler has the aims of determining which operations have more strict constraints and more priority over others. Studies and practice have shown that the adoption of a valid scheduler implies considerable improvements in the system performance, consequently it is advisable to dedicate time and effort to the research for the right one. The following algorithms obtained a successful outcome and they have been implemented for the production of a modern automated warehouse located in the city of Cesena, Italy. The paper is divided into four chapters, with a further one dedicated to conclusions.
