Challenge
Inefficient robotic fleet management

​​Inflexible deployment

Inflexibility of current AGV deployment and physical guidance systems can limit productivity.

 

Lack of scalability

Without the right infrastructure, older AGV systems can't achieve the real autonomy that new solutions provide, which can restrict the opportunity for business growth.

Sluggish innovation

Manufacturing needs more than automation, it needs technology that can respond to changing business needs.
 

Safety concerns

Inconsistent oversight can increase the risk of AGV collisions and accidents.


 

Solution*
AGV management powered by 5G

An overview

AGV fleets leverage 5G wireless networking and computer vision-based navigation to traverse the plant floor during operation. It replaces more rigid and costly methods, such as laser-guided navigation, floor-based magnetic tape, or rails and mirror.

Remote operation and control

Use computer vision (CV) technology to help optimize routes while machine learning algorithms enhance efficiencies.

System integration
via APIs

Seamlessly integrate MES, ERP systems and WMS through APIs to help increase productivity.

Manufacturing execution system (MES); enterprise resource planning (ERP); warehouse management systems (WMS); application programming interface (API).
