Our Fleet Management At a Glance
No System Integration Required:
Easily deploy robots without a time intensive system integration. We can do this in two ways. Transport tasks can be triggered manually. This can be done through the app, a physical button, or a barcode scan. Transport tasks can also be triggered automatically. In this case, sensors such as light barriers, cameras, or scales detect demand and create a transport request.
Map Syncing:
Map synchronization keeps a shared operational map up to date in real time. When an AMR or AGV detects a new obstacle or layout change, the map is updated and propagated to the entire fleet so other robots can automatically re-route. The same mechanism allows newly deployed robots to synchronize to the existing map, significantly reducing commissioning and deployment time.
Route Planning:
Route planning follows a clear three-step process. First, each transport task is assigned to a suitable vehicle based on its capabilities and availability. Next, the system calculates the best available route using known drivable paths. Finally, traffic rules are applied to define how vehicles behave along the route such as how they pass or yield to each other, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Teleoperation:
Teleoperation allows operators to remoteley assist an AMR or AGV without being physically present. Operators can view live camera and sensor data to take control of the robot via the app to resolve issues before returning it to autonomous operation. This enables fast recovery from exceptions without stopping production or calling technicians on site.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is SyncroBot?
SyncroBot is a vendor-agnostic fleet management platform for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), and autonomous forklifts. It coordinates transport tasks, routing, and traffic rules across mixed robot fleets in logistics and production environments.
-
When do I need fleet management for AMRs or AGVs?
Fleet management becomes essential when multiple robots operate in the same environment. It can also be beneficial from the first AMR or AGV as it enables flexible switching between robot vendors, helps avoid early vendor lock-in, and provides a scalable foundation as automation expands.
-
What problems do fleet management systems solve?
Fleet management systems solve coordination problems that arise when multiple robots share routes and work areas. These problems include traffic conflicts, inefficient routing, deadlocks, and unclear exception handling. Fleet management also reduces repeated integration efforts and helps prevent companies from being locked into a single robot vendor.
-
How does SyncroBot address these problems?
SyncroBot provides centralized fleet orchestration through route planning, shared map synchronization, traffic rules, and teleoperation for exception handling. This enables predictable and scalable robot operations.
-
Can I use SyncroBot without WMS or ERP integration?
Yes. SyncroBot can operate without WMS or ERP integration. This allows companies to start automation quickly and reduce integration costs.
-
How are transport tasks triggered without system integration?
Tasks can be triggered manually through the application, a physical button, or a barcode scan. Tasks can also be triggered automatically when sensors such as light barriers, cameras, or scales detect demand.
-
What is teleoperation?
Teleoperation allows operators to remotely assist an AMR or AGV without being physically present. Operators can view live camera and sensor data and temporarily take control to resolve exceptions before returning the robot to autonomous operation.
-
What is map synchronization?
Map synchronization ensures that all robots in the fleet operate on the same shared map, including routes, zones, and constraints. This enables consistent routing and coordinated behavior across the fleet. It also reduces future deployment effort as newly deployed robots can use the existing map without requiring remapping.
-
How does route planning work in SyncroBot?
Route planning assigns transport tasks to suitable vehicles, calculates the shortest feasible path using known routes, and applies traffic rules to manage interactions between robots on shared path segments.
-
Does SyncroBot support mixed fleets and VDA 5050?
Yes. SyncroBot supports mixed robot fleets and works with VDA 5050-compatible vehicles where applicable and also
supports other communication protocols such as ROS integrations. -
How is SyncroBot different from vendor-specific fleet managers?
SyncroBot offers a unified platform that integrates various tools and features for fleet management, focusing on cross-vendor compatibility, real-time data analytics, and customizable reporting. In contrast, vendor-specific fleet managers typically provide solutions tailored to their own vehicles, limiting flexibility and interoperability with other brands.
-
Can SyncroBot integrate with SAP EWM or other WMS/ERP systems?
Yes. SyncroBot can integrate with systems such as SAP EWM. Integration depth depends on process requirements and can be introduced after operational validation.
-
What if I do not know where to start with AMRs or AGVs?
SyncroBot also offers consulting services to support robot selection, pilot definition, vendor evaluation, contracting, and rollout planning for manufacturing and logistics environments.
