Fleet Manager
Factory optimization with best in class fleet management
Fleet Manager; Factory managers have constant pressure to meet a variety of improvement goals for their factory. Our fleet management solution is tailored to ensure best in class fleet management and provide built-in data capture, analytics and reporting to enable factories to optimize the performance of the overall factory as well as their Omron robot fleet.
Manage fleets up to 100 robots in any configuration and simulate up to 10 robots
Displays robot location, status and job queue
Identifies blocked paths and creates alternative routes
Optimizes job assignments and battery charging
Selects fastest routes based on human and robot traffic
Features
Optimize Efficiency
Combined with an intuitive, visual interface, it is easy to define jobs, map routes, monitor and adapt each robot’s status. A centralized control means you see the big picture and have the power to manage your workflow in real time for maximum efficiency.
-
1 – Intelligent Job AssignmentReduces wasted time and movement by continuously looking ahead to anticipate which robots will be best positioned for upcoming tasks.
-
2 – Managed MotionEnsures smooth operations in busy environments by coordinating traffic flows and efficiently sequencing pick-up and drop-off at target locations. at target locations.be best positioned for upcoming tasks.
-
3 – Traffic ControlNotifies converging robots of their predicted paths, allowing them to re-calculate and avoid collision in the most efficient way.
Maximize Uptime
Our Fleet Manager automatically handles all coordination and decision-making to ensure your fleet is operating at peak efficiency with minimal human intervention.
-
4 – Automatic UpdatesPerforms updates automatically across the entire fleet.
-
5 – Change ManagementTracks battery power of the entire fleet, directing robots to their nearest available, or preferred, docking station on a schedule that ensures continuous fleet operation.
Increase Flexibility
Automate your material handling operation with a fleet of mobile robots.
-
6 – Easy Integration with IT SystemsFleet Manager can connect to your MES, ERP and WMS so that jobs can be propagated automatically to the fleet in real time.
-
7 – Skills AdministrationUnderstands the capabilities of each vehicle in the fleet, and always make sure that the right job is assigned to the right robot.
Fleet Manager – Powerful Fleet Management
FLOW – Fleet Operations Workspace
Our Fleet Operations Workspace (FLOW) solution provides an intelligent fleet management system that monitors mobile robot locations, traffic flow and job requests, ensuring your factory operates at peak efficiency. By automating robot tasks, our FLOW Core solution also reduces programming in your manufacturing execution systems (MES) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
- Fleet integration toolkit using industry standards such as Restful, SQL, Rabbit MQ, ARCL
- Fleet Simulation: Small fleets (up to 10) can be simulated to new installations or factory changeovers
- Increase fleet efficiency and job prioritization using more intelligent traffic rules
- 15% Reduction in Goal-to-Goal Travel Time
- Improve goal precision from ± 100mm to ± 8mm due to Cell Alignment Positioning System (CAPS)
- Our PC- and tablet-based software interface helps you manage your fleet
Hybrid Fleets – Fleet Manager
Easily control jobs for different types of robots (LD60/90/CT, LD-250 and HD-1500) using new fleet management and traffic techniques when running multiple types of robots
MobilePlanner
MobilePlanner is our PC-based software to manage the robot or the fleet.
- Builds and distributes maps for mobile robot applications
- Provides configuration tools for the robot to adjust robot parameters, program sensors, cameras, etc.
- Assigns jobs and schedules routes
Fleet Simulator – Fleet Manager
Solve problems before they arise. Optimize your fleet before you deploy it.Our Fleet Simulator offers the industry’s first mobile robot simulator for factory and manufacturing applications. It plans traffic and workflows for fleets of autonomous mobile robots so customers can identify potential bottlenecks and optimize workflows without ever having to deploy a real robot.
- Simulates up to 10 robots, in up to three separate fleets
- Helps assess impacts of map changes, scaling, route changes, and new software features
- Identifies traffic flow bottlenecks and visualizes individual robot path planning and interaction with other robots
- Simulates custom environment based on real-world facilities
- Helps validate third-party software
Collect customized analytics for your factory.
Our Fleet Simulator emulates robot behaviours including localization, path planning, obstacle avoidance and fleet management to provide valuable insight on performance in the real world. The system can simulate jobs to predict throughput and optimize fleet size in a map of an actual facility.
Fleet Manager – Easily manage your entire mobile ecosystem.
Our Fleet Simulator is designed to be compatible with the Omron Fleet Operations Workspace (FLOW) platform for mobile robotics. The simulator runs on the EM2100, which can be configured as a Fleet Manager, Backup Fleet Manager, and now a Fleet Simulator. To use an EM2100 as a Fleet Simulator, the device can be configured at the factory or with a software license in the field.
