SIMOVE Fleetmanager
As a higher-level system, the SIMOVE Fleetmanager is responsible for the centralized orchestration of the vehicle fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and manually operated vehicles, for example as a forklift control system.
The SIMOVE Fleetmanager supports standardized communication with the help of VDA5050 and a wide range of other interfaces.
It acts as the sole and central instance between logistics, MES systems and the entire AGV fleet.
SIMOVE Advanced Navigation System ANS+
With the navigation software for SIMOVE-based AGVs, Siemens provides innovative software that provides vehicle navigation using SLAM-based localization or other localization methods. It supports efficient route planning on the AGV and obstacle avoidance as well as free navigation applying the principle of a virtual route.
SIMOVE localization LOC
SIMOVE AGV is based on the combined Siemens hardware portfolio of automation technology, drive technology and communication technology.
In different performance classes and architectures, these proven and robust industrial components can be tailored cost-effectively and scalably according to customer-specific requirements. They form the core components of the automated guided vehicle system, with a fail-safe SIMATIC PLC controller acting as the central unit of a SIMOVE AGV.
SIMOVE CarrierControl
With the help of the SIMOVE CarrierControl library as a central software component on the SIMATIC PLC, we enable the simple and comprehensive use of our Siemens hardware in the automated guided vehicle system.
