Dresden, May 29, 2026 \u2013 The use of mobile robots such as AGVs and AMRs is increasing. However, as these systems become more deeply integrated into existing processes, planning also becomes more complex. What matters is not just the number of vehicles, but how they interact with layout, material flow, charging infrastructure and control logic. DUALIS GmbH IT Solution explains why conventional planning approaches reach their limits in AGV and AMR projects and how realistic 3D simulation helps companies make sound decisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn many projects, planning for mobile robotics starts with an obvious question: how many vehicles are needed to achieve a certain transport capacity? This is an important question, but it does not go far enough. In real operations, performance depends on the interaction of multiple influencing factors,\u201d says Ralf Dohndorf, Vice President Factory Simulation at DUALIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traditional planning based on tools such as spreadsheets is no longer sufficient for today\u2019s requirements. In practice, multiple vehicles, different transport priorities, limited buffer areas, charging infrastructure and additional automation components all interact with each other. Even small changes in layout or order structure can have a noticeable impact on throughput, waiting times and utilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This raises a key question for companies: how can the behavior of a mobile robot system be assessed realistically before investments are made or layouts are finalized?<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat matters is the behavior of the overall system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
