Fleet size
Test vehicle counts against timed requests—not average travel alone.
- Model peak move requests
- Include empty and loaded travel
- Find the fleet that meets demand

fleet optimization.
Know the fleet you need. Know the floor it can serve.
Test vehicle count, routes, traffic rules, dispatching, and charging together—before committing to a fleet.
The real challenges.
Move counts alone cannot size a fleet. Vehicles wait at junctions, queue for work, and leave service to charge. Explore five challenges using the cards or arrows below.

Layout ceiling
01 / 05
Traffic conflicts
Run vehicles together under real traffic and priority rules.
- Map the actual route network
- Measure junction delays
- Test conflict changes
Charging windows
Account for vehicles unavailable while charging.
- Model charge thresholds
- Test charger positions
- Compare charging policies
Dispatch & pickups
Compare assignment rules at pickup and drop points.
- Test dispatch priorities
- Include pickup queues
- Track delivery response
Layout ceiling
Find when more vehicles stop increasing completed moves.
- Increase the fleet in steps
- Test passing loops and bays
- Identify the route ceiling

The results.
A fleet study shows how many vehicles the operation needs—and which operating choices make that number work.
Size the fleet with confidence
Compare vehicle counts against actual moves, peaks, congestion, and charging.
Find traffic hotspots
See where junctions, single-width aisles, or pickup points cause waiting.
Plan charging that works
Test charger positions and schedules alongside delivery demand.
Improve delivery reliability
Compare dispatch and traffic rules by response time and missed moves.
Avoid buying around a bottleneck
Learn when another vehicle adds useful capacity—and when the layout caps it.

AGV & MHE fleet consulting
Test fleet size, charging, dispatch, and traffic rules before ordering vehicles or changing routes. We compare completed moves and response times under your operating demand.
Explore our simulation project supportTraffic conflicts and vehicle blocking
Model vehicles sharing aisles, junctions, and pickup points under the intended traffic rules. We identify where blocking accumulates and compare routing, priority, or delivery-point changes alongside additional vehicles.
Charging strategy and effective fleet capacity
Include charge thresholds, charger positions, charging duration, and the time vehicles leave service. We compare charging policies against the same move requests to see how each changes fleet availability and delivery response.
The route network's capacity ceiling
Increase fleet size in steps to find when congestion limits completed moves. We test alternatives such as passing bays, one-way routes, or extra drop points so the decision distinguishes vehicle shortage from a layout constraint.
A study built around your operation
We define the move profile and delivery targets, then model vehicles competing for the same paths and handling points. Fleet counts are tested together with layout, charging, and operating rules rather than treating them as independent decisions.
Inputs for a credible comparison
Typical inputs include timed move requests, pickup and drop locations, scaled routes, vehicle speeds and handling times, charging rules, and traffic priorities. The scope identifies which vehicle and controller assumptions must be checked with the project team.
Findings for your next decision
Depending on scope, receive fleet-size comparisons, traffic hotspot analysis, charging and dispatch scenarios, and engineering recommendations. Findings show where another vehicle adds useful capacity and where routes or pickup points become limiting.
