Measurements should include the least forgiving parts of the process, not only the easiest demonstration route. Review this decision for How to Select a Heavy-Payload AMR whenever the workflow or site changes.
Evidence to prepare before equipment selection
- Origins, destinations and task demand by period
- Representative load, carrier or payload evidence
- Measured route and transfer-point geometry
- Traffic, people and shared-resource conditions
- System interfaces and ownership
- Normal, peak, exception and recovery criteria
