# Industrial Specification: Automated Retrieval Unit (AGV or Crane)

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated device (AGV or crane) that physically retrieves chemical containers from storage locations within an automated storage system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.1-1.0 rad/s rotational velocity, 0-1000 kg payload capacity**. Failure boundary: **Structural failure at &gt;1500 kg dynamic load, motor burnout at &gt;120°C winding temperature, positioning error &gt;±5 mm from target**, Mechanism: **Fatigue failure from cyclic loading exceeding material endurance limit (S-N curve), thermal runaway from I²R heating exceeding heat dissipation capacity, cumulative positioning error from gear backlash and encoder resolution limitations**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Hansen Solubility Distance (HSP)**:

> **Primary Equation**: $R_a = \sqrt{4\Delta\delta_d^2 + \Delta\delta_p^2 + \Delta\delta_h^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts seal/gasket swelling when exposed to CIP chemicals.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| \delta_d | Dispersive | Engineering Constant |
| \delta_p | Polar | Engineering Constant |
| \delta_h | Hydrogen | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Lithium-ion battery cell thermal runaway at 60°C | 8 | Battery pack combustion causing complete power loss | Battery management system with active cooling and thermal runaway propagation barriers |
| Encoder signal dropout due to electromagnetic interference &gt;85 dBμV/m | 8 | Position feedback loss causing uncontrolled movement | Shielded encoder cables with ferrite cores and differential signal transmission |
