situation
The operational problem
Manual replenishment is frequently reactive: lines starve, operators leave stations, and supervisors only see the problem after output drops.
example architecture / factory logistics
AMR Line Replenishment
Material moves from stores to line-side buffers before operators run out.
Material buffers emit shortages, the flow network creates route intents, AMRs or operators fulfill moves, and GridOS observes dwell time, route delays, and starvation risk.

how the primitives combine
Operating sequence
1
Line-side buffers publish live stock and minimum thresholds.
2
GridOS creates a replenishment request before the station is starved.
3
The flow network dispatches the move through an AMR, cart, or operator route.
4
Safety zones and route rules prevent unsafe AMR movement around people and cells.
5
Supervisors see dwell, delay, and route cost instead of only final production loss.
