AGV / AMR

• Automated transport of goods using AGV / AMR
• Task-driven operation based on demand and prioritisation
• Direct communication between direct FMS and driverless vehicles
• Dynamic routing and queue handling for efficient transport
• Reduced manual handling and improved utilisation of transport capacity

Automating internal transport with AGVs/AMRs frees up capacity and removes manual transport tasks. With driverless vehicles integrated into direct FMS, you achieve controlled transport of goods based on operational needs, with tasks created and executed automatically, without manual coordination between the warehouse, manufacturing and transport.

Warehouse Control System

By using driverless vehicles such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), you can automate the transport of goods between storage locations, zones, machines and equipment. As a Warehouse Control System, direct FMS controls tasks, routing and prioritisation of transport, ensuring that the correct product is moved to the correct location at the correct time.

AGV / AMR with direct FMS

With integration into direct FMS, vehicles are controlled based on where goods need to go within the flow, rather than as isolated transport tasks. Goods can be moved from reception to storage, from storage to picking, to dispatch, or between machines, buffers and process steps as part of the manufacturing flow. This improves resource utilisation and provides a more stable flow.

Seamless internal logistics and control 

direct FMS functions as the higher-level control system, communicating directly with AGVs/AMRs and other equipment. The system assigns tasks, controls routing, and prioritises transport tasks to ensure optimal use. Goods are continuously moved in response to demand, and transport is dynamically adjusted to avoid waiting and unnecessary movement.

With integrated control of AGVs/AMRs within the direct FMS, internal transport aligns with the material flow, reducing manual handling and improving capacity utilisation, while ensuring goods are automatically delivered where and when needed.
