Autonomous mobile robots software

Description

Autonomous mobile robots software is a leading Software to Enable Robots to Navigate Autonomously. Autonomous mobile robots software enables robots to localize and navigate autonomously can be easily integrated in any mobile robot.

Features

• Navigation – smooth and quick obstacle avoidance combined with automatic re-routing.
• Hybrid Fleets  – combination of various models and different types of shuttles from multiple vendors possible within one fleet
• Hardware Integration – large existing hardware database and easy integration of new models using a standard hardware abstraction layer.
• Deployment – quick and easy deployment of FMS and shuttles using existing infrastructure
• Customisations – apps ready to add process, order and floor management tools.
• Optimisations – ongoing optimisation of navigation software, kinematics and learning capabilites over the cloud
• Digital Twins – the digital twin serves as advanced planning and verification tool for the complete project life cycle – planning, operation, support and process adaption
• Services  – 3rd level support, Training and Consulting

Benefits

• Flexibility – AMRs navigate freely and move around obstacles in real-time
• Scalability – additional robots can be added effortlessly to existing fleet upon request
• Retrofitting – retrofittable and easy to implement: No constructional changes are necessary – instant deployment
• Safety – safety certifications allow mixed operations with humans and machines next to manual processes

Examples of use cases

Efficiency of warehouse logistics

• Complex setting with 50 different stations.
• Long distance transports of individual pallets inside the warehouse.
• Quick implementation of warehouse automation to cope with the fast-changing industry needs.
• Warehouse parts with normal temperature (shelf stable foods) and cooler part (cold storage foods)
• 40 autonomous pallet carries pass 1,000km per day.
• They manage up to 500 orders per hour in peak periods.
• No single point of failure.

Flexibility for unpredictable E-commerce

• High return rates in the fashion industry.
• Manual handling of goods at the workstations needed.
• Seasonal workload and varying amount of goods.
• Varying types of goods
• Eliminated the need for conveyor link to every workstation which helped workflow flexibility, accessibility and cost optimization.
• 600 transports per hour – to and from workstations and shelves.
• Workstations did not require integration with the robots and the software leading to simpler and cheaper deployment

Production

• Securing the investment when the production plant is abandoned.
• Flexibility in case of reorganization and extensibility (scalability).
• Skilled workers can focus on value-adding activities.
• Cheaper than conveyer with high initial investment need.
• Protect workers’ health – having machines do the hard, physical work.
• Increased hygiene from reduced movement of humans.
