“…These are designed to perform their operations without direct human guidance and are used in a wide variety of industrial applications [24]. To achieve the benefit of integrated automation, they are interfaced with other automated systems [25]. AGV systems have been frequently used as material handling equipment in the manufacturing context [26] and it represents the most versatile means of moving materials automatically [25].…”

“…An AGV system must be built to satisfy a specific need and suited to different situations. When designing an AGV system, several factors should be considered, such as, the available budget, the quantities to be moved, the goods to be handled, the distance travel and the type of production system that the AGV will serve [25]. According to [37], the following tactical and operational issues have to be addressed in designing an AGV system:…”

“…According to [25], the total number of vehicles in simple systems can be estimated by the number of round-trips that each vehicle can make per hour and the total number of round-trips that must be made by the system. In this model effects of acceleration and deceleration are ignored.…”

This work describes a case study carried out in an automotive company. The main objective was to increase the productivity of the last workstation of an assembly line by implementing an AGV System to transport finished goods to the warehouse. A comprehensive analysis of Value Added and Non-Value Added activities were performed to understand the current state of the workstation. By using the Spaghetti Diagram, the worker's movements were mapped and quantified. To eliminate motion and material transport and therefore increase productivity, an AGV system was implemented. To design this particular system, it was necessary to determine the required number of AGVs and their capacity, picking and delivery locations and the flow path. Activities such as transporting the containers and moving around to pick up the same containers were eliminated, thus contributing to a better ergonomics and an increase in safety. The Cycle Time was also reduced and therefore productivity was increased.

“…This issue was examined in detail by Berman et al [2] by using simulation tools and statistical analyzes, and resulted in a proposal of decentralized AGVs control method. Another possible principle that can be effectively used for the analysis of the AGVs within the logistic system, is the use of a quantitative method, as Ilić [3] describes. Data obtained from the analysis of the operation of the AGV are a valuable source of information for their design and management.…”

Automated logistic systems are becoming more widely used within enterprise logistics processes. Their main advantage is that they allow increasing the efficiency and reliability of logistics processes. In terms of evaluating their effectiveness, it is necessary to take into account the economic aspect of the entire process. However, many users ignore and underestimate this area, which is not correct. One of the reasons why the economic aspect is overlooked is the fact that obtaining information for such an analysis is not easy. The aim of this paper is to present the possibilities of computer simulation methods for obtaining data for full-scale economic analysis implementation.
