Managing and controlling autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can be a complex task, requiring advanced technology to ensure efficiency and productivity. Centralizing the management of AMR and AGV fleets through a single, comprehensive software solution offers a streamlined approach to real-time automation and orchestration. This centralization allows effective orchestration of mobile robot fleets, providing the ability to monitor the location of all moving equipment and industrial assets in real-time. Such capabilities are crucial for driving improvements in both efficiency and productivity across various operational environments.
Designed to streamline fleet management operations, one common fleet management system standout feature is its compatibility with VDA 5050 – a standardized interface for AMR communications. The interoperability standard enables customers to orchestrate AMRs seamlessly, ensuring compatibility and operational standards across the fleet. Through collaboration with KINEXON Fleet Manager, Continental has achieved an impressive ROI of over 250%.
One of the significant advantages of KINEXON’s vendor-agnostic fleet manager is the elimination of vendor lock-in. This flexibility reduces both operations and maintenance costs, as it allows for the selection of equipment and software that best meets the specific needs of the operation without being tied to a single provider. Additionally, the utilization of both active and passive location services enhances the ability to track and manage the fleet accurately.
The integration with SAP Warehouse Robotics and connection to SAP DM further streamlines operations, ensuring smooth synchronization between the fleet and business management systems. This integration allows for real-time updates and adjustments to be made based on the latest process data, eliminating the need for manual process engineering and route model setup.
