What you will learn
Movement of goods throughout an organization is a necessary but non-value-added task. Having multiple AGV or AMR types is also a challenge. The most efficient, flexible and transparent material transport within organizations is a critical. Mastering this task also represents a significant opportunity for improved efficiency. With a toolkit called SIMOVE, Siemens offers standardized, modular solutions, including pre-configured bills of material, communications, fleet management, drive train control, energy management, safety functions, and other onboard functions such as lifting. Pre-configured library and function blocks specific to AGVs facilitate rapid code generation and shorter development time. This system environment Is vendor agnostic; so a fleet can have multiple manufactures and types all deployed and managed centrally.
Â
Key Takeaways
(1) End users and OEMs can simplify design and deployment of AGVs. (2) Tools are available to centrally manage multiple AGV types from various manufacturers. (3) A fleet of AGVs can be designed, operated, and maintained through a central dashboard.
