AMR, AGV & Intralogistics Automation calculator

Charging Station Count Capacity Calculator Calculator

Charger count determines whether AMRs or AGVs can stay available across shifts without excessive waiting. This calculator estimates how many successful charge events the planned charging stations can support in the operating period.

What this calculator does

  • Estimate charging station supported capacity from robots charged per cycle, charge cycles, charger uptime, and successful charge rate.
  • an automation engineer needs to check whether charger capacity supports the planned robot fleet
  • Returns the successful robot charge events supported by the planned charging stations.

Formula used

  • Gross charging station capacity = robots served per charger cycle × available charger cycles
  • Successful robot charge capacity = gross capacity × charging station uptime × successful charge completion rate

Inputs explained

  • Robots served per charger cycle: undefined
  • Available charger cycles: undefined
  • Charging station uptime: undefined
  • Successful charge completion rate: undefined

How to use the result

  • Use it for charger count, opportunity charging plans, charger queue review, fleet expansion, and uptime planning.
  • Actual capacity depends on charge duration, dwell behavior, fleet schedule, opportunity charging rules, battery age, charger location, and queueing.

Common questions

  • What is a charger cycle? Use one charger time slot that can serve the entered number of robots, whether full charging, opportunity charging, or battery swap planning.
  • How do I account for multiple chargers? Include all charging stations when calculating robots served per cycle or available charger cycles for the planning period.
  • What does successful charge capacity mean? It estimates charge events completed after charger downtime and charge exceptions are removed from the gross plan.
  • How can I use this result? Compare it with fleet charging demand to decide whether more chargers, different locations, or opportunity charging rules are needed.
