Roadmap Overview
Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Allocation
We present here the DSM allocation of Autonomous Mobile Robots and its tree. The company-wide initiative of Warehouse Automation is achieved by Order Management System, Inventory Management System, and Warehouse Robots. Warehouse Robots can be further broken down into Autonomous Mobile Robots, Robotic Arms, Packaging Robots, and Verification Robots. We focus on the Autonomous Mobile Robot for this roadmap, which is enabled by level 4 technologies in light blue, such as 3D Mapping, Digital Twin, and Route Optimation Algorithm.
Roadmap Model using OPM
Figures of Merit (FOM)
| Figure of Merit (FOM) | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Payload Capacity | [kg] | Total weight the AMR can carry (including items and shelves) |
| Speed | [m/s] | Average speed of the AMR while carrying shelves inside the warehouse |
| Volume | [m^3] | Volume of AMR (width x length x height) |
| Continuous Operation Time | [hrs] | Total time the AMR can operate in one full charge |
| Picking Rate | [units / hr] | Number of units the AMR can assist the picker to pick per hour |
| Failure Rate | [times/ hr] | Number of times the AMR fails per hour |
| Learning Time | [hrs] | Total time it takes to train the AMR to operate in a warehouse |
