KINEXON Fleet Manager
It's Time to Set up Your Modern Fleet Management Now
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are conquering the market. Needless to say, efficient and cost-effective management is vital!
The VDA5050 compliant, KINEXON AMR and AGV Fleet Manager provides a flexible, customizable, and scalable, real-time operating system for fleets in production and logistics. Due to its manufacturer, and hardware-independence, it’s possible to manage different kinds of vehicles with ease.
The Challenges You Face and How We Make Life Easier for You
Are you a shop floor manager or a central process expert? Are you looking for a way to simplify managing multiple robots, such as AMRs or AGVs, for your production and logistic processes? We have a full stack solution that:
- Operates on various vehicles and vehicle types, regardless of the communication protocol used
- Deploys on all VDA5050 iterations simultaneously
- Does not require a customized interface to ERP or WMS systems
Your Challenge, Our Solution
Companies are facing an unprecedented labor shortage, but have personnel intensive processes on their shop floor, which requires automation.
As a full-stack, IIot provider, we add our AMR and AGV Fleet Manager into our location intelligence platform. As a result, we provide companies with end-to-end services, and assist them along their automation journey.
Transporting goods of various size and weight requires the use of different robots for a fleet. This leads to too many different shop floor vehicles with their own, individual software and interfaces.
Our Fleet Manager provides a tailored, singular system for each user. Going further, we build layers between customers’ systems and their AMRs and AGVs, to other systems. These systems include ERPs, WMS, fire protection or communication systems, and many more.
Companies want to extend their initial automation solutions, but problems with robot diversity include not being able to coordinate with each other, and software is often confusing.
Through our software layer, customers’ diverse IT-landscapes connect to their heterogeneous group of AMRs and AGVs, on the shop floor with ease.
Flexible layout planning is especially important, as your shop floor must meet continually changing requirements. These include seasonal goods or a layout-free assembly line. However, the maintenance costs are often too high.
The No-Code application allows shop floor managers to change driving routes, and load carrier positions for the whole fleet within seconds. The creation of zones and waiting areas, in an overarching frontend, enable fast, efficient and predictable routing.
