Model and equations
$$E \approx \frac{m g c_r L}{\eta},\quad SOC_{remain}=100\left(1-\frac{E}{C_{bat}}\right)$$
This page focuses on rolling-resistance energy. Acceleration, lifting, waiting, and auxiliary loads should be added when they are significant.
How to read it
The SOC view checks remaining capacity at mission end.
The energy view shows how distance and mass contribute.
The sensitivity view shows how route length or efficiency loss consumes margin.

🙋
When reading AGV Battery Mission Energy, where should I look first? Moving Vehicle mass changes both the plots and the result cards.
🎓
Start with Energy used, but do not treat the number as the whole answer. Use Mission SOC to confirm the assumed state, then read Travel energy breakdown for the distribution or trend. The SOC view checks remaining capacity at mission end.
🙋
I can see why Vehicle mass changes Energy used. How should I judge the influence of Mission distance?
🎓
Move Mission distance in small steps and watch Remaining SOC. That reveals which term is controlling the result. This page focuses on rolling-resistance energy. Acceleration, lifting, waiting, and auxiliary loads should be added when they are significant. A single operating point is not enough; sweep the realistic scatter range.
🙋
What is Distance sensitivity for? It feels like the ordinary curve already tells the story.
🎓
Distance sensitivity is for finding boundaries where the condition becomes risky or margin collapses quickly. The energy view shows how distance and mass contribute. In First-pass AGV battery sizing, the important question is often what happens after a small change, not only the nominal value.
🙋
So if Energy used is within the target, can I accept the condition?
🎓
Treat this as a first-pass review. It helps with Checking SOC after route or payload changes and Estimating charging timing and reserve capacity, but final decisions still need standards, measured data, detailed analysis, and vendor limits. The sensitivity view shows how route length or efficiency loss consumes margin.

FAQ
Start with Energy used and Remaining SOC. Then use Mission SOC to confirm the assumed state and Travel energy breakdown to read distribution or bias. The SOC view checks remaining capacity at mission end
Move Vehicle mass alone, then move Mission distance by a comparable amount and compare the change in Energy used. Distance sensitivity shows combinations where margin or performance changes quickly.
Use it for First-pass AGV battery sizing. Instead of trusting a single point, widen the input range and check whether Energy used keeps enough margin before moving to detailed analysis.
