AMR, AGV & Intralogistics Automation calculator
AGV Fleet Size Capacity Calculator Calculator
AGV fleet sizing starts with how many pallet, cart, or tote moves the fleet can complete in the available shift time. This calculator converts route-cycle assumptions into effective move capacity so planners can compare the fleet plan with demand.
What this calculator does
- Estimate effective AGV move capacity from loads per route cycle, scheduled cycles, vehicle availability, and successful mission rate.
- an automation engineer needs to check whether planned AGV capacity covers required material moves
- Returns the effective move capacity for the AGV fleet and the losses from availability and mission exceptions.
Formula used
- Gross scheduled move capacity = loads moved per route cycle × available AGV route cycles
- Effective move capacity = gross capacity × AGV fleet availability × successful mission completion rate
Inputs explained
- Loads moved per AGV route cycle: undefined
- Available AGV route cycles: undefined
- AGV fleet availability: undefined
- Successful mission completion rate: undefined
How to use the result
- Use it for fleet sizing, shift planning, route demand checks, and bottleneck review before committing vehicle count.
- The estimate depends on route length, traffic, docking time, queue time, blocked aisles, battery strategy, and dispatch rules.
Common questions
- What information do I need for AGV fleet sizing? You need loads per route cycle, how many route cycles fit in the shift, expected fleet availability, and the mission completion rate.
- Should I enter vehicles or moves? Enter move capacity assumptions. If each AGV completes a known number of cycles, multiply by planned vehicle count before entering available cycles.
- What does effective move capacity mean? It is the move volume expected after removing downtime and mission exceptions from the gross route-cycle plan.
- How can I use the result? Compare effective moves with required pallet, cart, or tote demand to decide whether more vehicles, route changes, or schedule changes are needed.
