Manufacturers deploying AGVs, AMRs and other material handing automation systems face many challenges, including the following:
Use of inflexible, hard coded integrations that take too long and are difficult to maintain and change
Difficulty managing fleets of different types of robots and from different vendors
An inability to optimize complex materials flows
In addition to the excess time needed to complete integrations cited above, these challenges manifest themselves in a number of operational problems. Those include:
Integration Silos: Challenges connecting various automation technologies and software systems
Fragmented Material Flow: Lack of coordination between production, warehousing, and internal transport
Inefficient Resource Utilization: Idle robots, delayed material deliveries, and worker inefficiencies
Limited Visibility: Difficulty tracking the real-time location and status of materials and equipment, with the need to look at multiple systems to get needed data
Robotics Fulfillment and Orchestration Platform
Roboteon’s Robotics Fulfillment and Orchestration Platform is a powerful solution that addresses all the challenges cited above and more, enabling robot deployment success and maximizing operational efficiency for many of types of manufacturers.
Roboteon acts as the central nervous system for manufacturing intralogistics, providing a unified platform to integrate and orchestrate all your robotic resources, optimize material flow, and gain complete real-time operational visibility.
Key Platform Capabilities
Rapid, Flexible Integrations
With ERP, WMS, MES, and other software systems.
Vendor-Independent Fleet Management
Control all your robots (AMRs, AGVs, forklifts & more) from a single platform, regardless of the manufacturer.
Intelligent Task Assignment
AI-powered algorithms dynamically assign tasks based on real-time demand, priority, robot availability, and location.
Real-Time Visibility and Tracking
Monitor the precise location and status of materials, robots from all vendors, and personnel in real-time.
Optimized Path Planning
Calculate the most efficient routes for material transport, minimizing travel time and managing congestion.
The Benefits of Orchestrated Intralogistics
Manufacturers implementing Roboteon’s platform can achieve significant improvements in productivity and agility, leading to a more productive and resilient operation:
Flexible low code/no code integrations achieved in days not weeks or months.
Faster material delivery to production lines, reducing wait times.
Optimized resource utilization, minimizing idle time and energy consumption.
Streamlined workflows and better coordination across all intralogistics activities.
Real-time tracking and automated tasks reduce the risk of errors in material handling.
Ability to quickly adapt to changing production demands and material availability.
Comprehensive data and analytics for continuous improvement of intralogistics processes.
Supported Applications for Manufacturing
Material Replenishment: Robots autonomously delivering components to assembly lines on demand.
Work-in-Progress (WIP) Tracking & Transport: Real-time monitoring and automated movement of WIP between workstations.
Finished Goods Handling: Efficient transfer of finished products from production to warehousing or shipping.
