RWTH Seminar Selection of a Driverless Transport System (DTS)

Systematic analysis of Automation Solutions

Gain an overview of the driverless transport systems (DTS) available on the market and their specific areas of application. Taking into account the structural changes that the integration of driverless transport systems entails in the current production process, you will learn methods for the appropriate selection of robots and present different DTS in an interactive simulation.
