The showcase features a fleet of different mobile robots that perform transport and manipulation tasks in production logistics and floor cleaning. The highlight is that a single master control system orchestrates a total of ten robots from eight different vendors. This is made possible by the use of the open communication interface VDA 5050.

For users, this means flexibility in the choice of software and hardware. Different requirements can be covered with suitable robots and controlled centrally via software. This takes care of traffic and order management, so that the vehicles can also use the same routes, for example – a real game changer for automation in existing production facilities.
