Systems and methods for improved throughput for independent carts based on transit trend times

An independent cart control system configured to:

• receive data associated with one or more independent carts of an industrial automation system as the one or more independent carts move around a track, wherein the data comprises:
• a first amount of time for at least one of the one or more independent carts to move between two stations of a plurality of stations disposed along the track;
• a second amount of time for the at least one independent cart to settle at a station of the plurality of stations;
• a third amount of time for a respective robot at the station to prepare to perform a process;
• and
• a fourth amount of time for the respective robot to perform the process;
• identify throughput degradation of the industrial automation system based on the first amount of time, the second amount of time, the third amount of time, or the fourth amount of time, or any combination thereof,
• identify a condition contributing to the throughput degradation of the industrial automation system;
• and
• generate and transmit a notification indicative of the throughput degradation of the industrial automation system and the condition contributing to the throughput degradation of the industrial automation system.

A method, comprising:

• detecting a throughput degradation of an industrial automation system, wherein the industrial automation system comprises one or more autonomous movers configured to move along a track;
• in response to detecting the throughput degradation of the industrial automation system, deploying one or more containers to one or more compute surfaces within the industrial automation system;
• retrieving, via the one or more containers, from one or more sensors disposed within the industrial automation system, data associated with the one or more autonomous movers as the one or more autonomous movers move around the track, wherein the data comprises:
• a first amount of time for at least one of the one or more autonomous movers to move between two stations of a plurality of stations disposed along the track;
• a second amount of time for the at least one autonomous mover to settle at a station of the plurality of stations;
• a third amount of time for a respective robot at the station to prepare to perform a process;
• and
• a fourth amount of time for the respective robot to perform the process;
• identifying, based on the first amount of time, the second amount of time, the third amount of time, or the fourth amount of time, or any combination thereof, a condition contributing to the throughput degradation of the industrial automation system;
• and
• generating and transmitting a notification indicative of the throughput degradation and the condition contributing to the throughput degradation.
