💡Coupled Driving: Transport Bulky Loads with AGVs and AMRs 🚀AGVs and AMRs have transformed productivity across industries, moving payloads up to 450 tons to handle heavy transport needs. But what about exceptionally large or uncommonly shaped items, like those in aircraft, train, or windmill manufacturing? Our Coupled Drive feature addresses this challenge by enabling two AGVs to work in tandem. Whether driving side-by-side or consecutively, they can jointly transport huge payloads, such as aircraft components, with ease and precision.  🤝 With the Coupled Drive feature, two or more AGVs are driving together maintaining a fixed position to each other. Coordinated motion is achieved with a Leader-Follower structure, where the Leader controls the position of both AGVs so that the load on top of the vehicles follows a specified path while the Follower listens to the Leader's controls and tries to minimize the error relative to the load. This feature ensures seamless, safe, and efficient automated operations, no matter the load size or shape. Moreover, the feature makes your fleet versatile, since you can use your AGVs individually for smaller loads and combine the same AGVs for handling huge loads. Want to see it in action? Check out this video from our customer STÄUBLI Robotics in the aeronautics sector to see how Coupled Drive makes a difference in handling massive and sensitive components ✈️ https://lnkd.in/ddEVMMF2

💡 Interoperability realized via VDA5050:  Can Floor Cleaning Robots be integrated into an existing fleet of various autonomous devices? Our answer is YES!    We are excited to announce that the autonomous scrubber drier from Kärcher, KIRA B 50, is now fully compatible with Navithor Fleet Control from Navitec via VDA5050! KIRA B 50, a highly efficient autonomous scrubber drier, is purposefully designed for floor cleaning, especially in medium to large areas. Based on the market-proven cleaning technology and advanced robotic expertise from Kärcher, this robot delivers the best-in-class cleaning results with an intuitive operation and high safety standards. Thanks to the seamless integration of KIRA B 50 into Navithor, our customers can now take full advantage of the highest autonomy of their entire autonomous fleet: smoother operation, enhanced efficiency, and higher productivity. The collaboration between KIRA and Navithor realizes a superior user experience. We can’t wait to see an even higher value added for our customers from this partnership in the future! A special Thank You to our partners Kärcher for the smooth collaboration! #robotics #kira #automation #kärcher #navitec #vda5050 #fleetmanagement #amr

What an incredible week in Japan! 🏯   Last week, our team had a pleasure of visiting customers and partners across Japan, traveling to Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. We connected with six existing and potential customers, and had an amazing opportunity to see a running production with Navithor controlling 30 AGVs 💥   A huge thank you to LINX Corporation for organizing this productive and inspiring trip! We’re excited about the opportunities and look forward to continuing our collaboration in Japan 🤝

💡Navithor feature: Production break Navithor Fleet Control is packed with advanced features. Especially liked and commonly used by our partners: ✅ Fire alarms  ✅ Multiple floors with elevators  ✅ Traffic lights  ✅ Production break 🚀 Production break makes it extremely easy to handle longer breaks in production. Current active missions are finished before your fleet is driven at predefined locations, and vehicles either hibernate or turn off to save battery. Any vehicle with a low battery level is charged before being sent to a wait location. Easy to combine with scheduled breaks! ▶️ See the video: #automation #agvs #amrs #fleetmanagement #mobilerobots

⬆️⬇️ Multi-Floor Functionality 🏢 Land scarcity, especially in high-density areas like cities and capital areas, is shaping industrial real estate trends. With rising e-commerce popularity and high demand for facilities, companies are switching to multi-level warehouses, utilizing less horizontal space, and maximizing vertical space opportunities. This allows for strategic placing of the fulfillment centers to deliver goods to consumers faster. 💥 With Navitec's multi-floor functionality, you can design all the levels of your facilities in one single project, easy to access and edit. Design each level individually while configuring the production logic between floors, all in one view. Our fleet manager handles assigning tasks across all levels and keeps track of where the AGVs are. With Navitec’s multi-level feature you can: ✔️Switch between floors easily with intuitive UI controls ✔️Utilize elevators for moving AGVs from one level to another ✔️Edit each level individually and choose which levels to take into use ✔️Configure production logic between levels ✔️Use all existing Navitec features as you would in a single-level facility Contact us to book a consultation and discuss how our system could be utilized in your multi-level facility: https://lnkd.in/dUsfAqtk
