Answers to the most frequently asked questions about our products and services.
How much does it cost to implement and operate the system?
Setup is relatively quick:
• Mapping the surroundings
• Definition of the processes
• System integration
• Test run and training
During operation, the system runs largely automatically in the background—operators need to intervene only minimally.
Can the solution be expanded or customized later?
Absolutely. Fleet management is scalable:
• Additional AMRs can be integrated at any time
• New layouts, facilities, or production areas can be flexibly integrated
• Different robot types or manufacturers are also possible (e.g., via VDA 5050)
This makes it a safe long-term investment.
Can the fleet management system be integrated into my existing system?
Yes. Modern systems can be easily integrated with WMS, MES, ERP (e.g., SAP), or conveyor systems.
This enables automatic transport orders and seamless integration into existing processes.
How safe is it to operate multiple AMRs at the same time?
Highly secure: Fleet management monitors all robots in real time, controlling priority, speeds, and restricted zones.
This minimizes collisions and risks—even in areas where people are working.
What specific benefits does fleet management offer me?
A fleet management system ensures that all AMRs work together efficiently.
It reduces wait times, prevents traffic congestion, increases transport capacity, and lowers costs through optimized routes and less downtime.
