Integration and customization of a management system for indoor autonomous vehicles
| Resumo: | This document reflects the work developed for a master’s dissertation in scope of Smart Autonomous Mobile Units (SAMU) project. This project is inserted in the iFactory programme where exists a partnership between Bosch Car Multimedia (CM) and University of Minho (UM). The SAMU project main objective is the creation and development of a system that supports the internal movement of materials along the supply chain using autonomous vehicles (AVs). With this type of system is possible to increase the efficiency and productivity of the logistics processes. In this context, the present document makes a brief description about the project area of intervention and a summary about the current state of material flows in Bosch BrgP. The work developed in this dissertation is integrated in SAMU project and is fundamental to achieve SAMU system goals. Briefly, it consists of a solution responsible for managing and tracking a fleet of indoor autonomous vehicles. In addition, the integration process of SAMU system in Bosch infrastructure was necessary to validate the management system. This document has a brief contextualization about SAMU project and the detailed description of all the work made in this dissertation. It is also presented the analysis of the state of art for this type of systems, the problems that the project intends to address and the challenges encountered throughout the work. Finally, it is described the solution found with the mechanisms and strategies adopted, the results analysis and the final conclusions. |
