BlueBotics' booth will feature several different brands of vehicles, spanning automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from across the ANT navigation ecosystem.
The vehicles will run a small pallet-moving operation, all controlled by one ANT server software project. The fleet will include: an automated tow tractor with cart, a forked AGV, three BlueBotics mini lite autonomous mobile robots, plus an industrial cleaning robot.
ANT natural feature navigation by BlueBotics provides accurate, robust, and repeatable vehicle performance. There are minimal infrastructure changes required – unlike with vehicles that follow physical lines or use laser triangulation – meaning vehicles are quick to install and operations can be modified easily in the future.
As a business’s site and needs evolve, multiple types and even brands of ANT driven vehicles can be connected in a diverse fleet using ANT server, the company’s advanced mission, and fleet management software. This software can also interface with a business’s existing WMS, MES, or ERP software in addition to communicating seamlessly with on-site equipment such as palletizers, automatic doors, and elevators.
