# Industrial Specification: Automated Guided Vehicle System

## 1. Technical Definition
A flexible material handling system using self-guided vehicles to transport components and assemblies along predetermined paths within automotive final assembly lines.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s (vehicle speed), 500-2000 kg (payload capacity), 8-24 VDC (power supply)**. Failure boundary: **Battery voltage drops below 18.0 VDC under 1500 kg load, causing motor torque to fall below 120 N·m required for grade climbing at 1.5 m/s**, Mechanism: **Ohmic heating in battery cells exceeding 80°C reduces electrolyte conductivity by 40%, following Arrhenius equation with activation energy of 0.35 eV, leading to voltage sag below minimum operating threshold**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
