Abstract(s)
O presente projeto de dissertação tem como principal objetivo estudar a viabilidade da
implementação de veículos autónomos guiados (AGV) no departamento de misturação de uma
empresa de produção de pneus, a Continental Mabor S.A., com o intuito de reduzir a
dependência da mão de obra e otimizar os processos logísticos internos. O trabalho foca-se na
avaliação dos impactos da introdução dos AGV no desempenho operacional, considerando
indicadores como a taxa de ocupação dos transportadores e misturadores.
É apresentada uma metodologia de abordagem ao problema, onde inicialmente, se
identificaram os principais problemas, como a sobrecarga dos transportadores e a falta de
padronização nos fluxos de trabalho. Posteriormente, foi feito um estudo detalhado das tarefas
realizadas pelos transportadores e uma análise multimomento, que identificou as áreas onde
os AGV poderiam ser mais eficazes.
Os dados recolhidos no processo foram utilizados para a criação de um modelo de simulação
em FlexSim, que representa o estado atual do processo de transportes, e que serviu de base
para a criação do modelo com introdução de AGV.
Após a análise de resultados dos diferentes cenários, a simulação revela que a introdução dos
AGV garante uma maior eficiência global, melhoria nas condições de segurança dos operadores
e também melhor padronização dos fluxos de transporte, contudo implica a introdução de um
maior número de equipamentos e a restruturação do layout da misturação.
The main objective of this dissertation project is to study the feasibility of implementing Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV) in the mixing department of a tyre manufacturing company, Continental Mabor S.A., with the aim of reducing labour dependency and optimising internal logistics processes. The work focuses on assessing the impact of AGV on operational performance, considering indicators such as the utilisation rate of transporters and mixers. A methodology to address the problem is presented, where the main issues were first identified, such as the overload of transporters and the lack of standardisation in workflow processes. A detailed study of the tasks carried out by the transporters was then conducted, along with a multimoment analysis, which identified the areas where AGV could be most effective. The data collected from the process was used to create a simulation model in FlexSim, representing the current state of the transport processes, which served as the basis for developing the model with AGV implementation. After analysing the results of different scenarios, the simulation reveals that the introduction of AGV ensures greater overall efficiency, improved operator safety conditions, and better standardization of transport flows. However, it also requires the introduction of a greater number of equipment and the restructuring of the mixing layout.
