From single mobile robots to orchestrated fleets

Ready to test a mixed fleet of AGVs? With its live test event on an obstacle course of about 850 m2, this large automatica special show demonstrates how to operate driverless transport vehicles and mobile robots from different manufacturers flexibly and efficiently – using a control system and shared travel paths. The open VDA 5050 communications interface is the very heart of this task, which used to be a great challenge until very recently. It allows mobile robots of different brands to be orchestrated by a centralized control station so that all vehicles of a heterogeneous fleet can share the same travel paths.

AGV Mesh-Up@automatica – the exclusive live experience

How workable is VDA 5050? How do vehicles and their control station behave in real-life conditions? The AGV Mesh-Up@automatica offers its audience a unique opportunity to experience the interface live in action. And it creates perfect framework conditions for manufacturers looking to test the suitability of their vehicle and software portfolios for such fleets. Naturally, the developers and product managers involved will be on site and available for personal exchange. Use this globally unique event to your own and your business’s advantage – and learn how individual robots can form a homogeneous fleet.

The Battery Production Logistics showcase

The Production Logistics special show offers real-world application examples as it focuses on the interaction of logistics and production, supply and transfer of materials, and interlinking plants and workspaces. In this context, Hahn Automation will present two battery production scenarios, and SYNAOS will provide the Intralogistics Management Platform as a centralized control station, which is a cloud-based software-as-a-service. Joining in: many renowned and innovative mobile robot manufacturers presenting their vehicles as members of the heterogenous fleet.
