NOTE: Certain Mobile Software suite tuning parameters (such as PlanRes)
might have a negative effect on the number of supported AIVs. Before tuning
any configuration parameters discuss your objectives with an Omron rep-
resentative.

Robot Jobs

Your Enterprise Manager 2100 can support more AIVs if the job characteristics are as follows:
AIV job routes are not complicated by many sub-tasks.
l
Interaction with a Warehouse Management System (WMS) or Manufacturing Execution
l
System (MES) is relatively simple and automated.
There is minimal use of payload devices and interaction with automated devices such
l
as conveyors.
AIVs are not competing for limited resources such as goals or docking stations.
l
Jobs use FIFO queuing instead of non-FIFO queuing.
l

Communications Network

Your Enterprise Manager 2100 can support more AIVs if the network characteristics are as fol-
lows:
Dedicated, high-speed network with adequate per-robot wireless bandwidth.
l
Good access point coverage with few or no low-signal (shadow) locations.
l
Network (LAN and Wireless) provides a good quality of service (QoS) to the Enterprise
l
Manager software.
If you have any questions when planning the number of AIVs for an enterprise, contact your
local Omron sales office for assistance.
