BlueBotics' MODEX 2026 presence will be highlighted by its "ANT-driven" technology, which highlights centralized fleet management for AGVs and AMRs.
Autonomous navigation and fleet management provider BlueBotics said that it will highlight fleet manager standardization, obstacle avoidance and vehicle navigation at MODEX 2026.
BlueBotics said that it will present its ANT navigation and fleet management technology at the show, including SmartPass.
The company said that SmartPass is an innovation that enables AGVs and AMRs to overcome path obstructions efficiently, while maintaining the structured, predictable behavior required in industrial environments.
By combining structured navigation with controlled obstacle avoidance, BlueBotics said that it enables fleets to maintain efficient material flow while minimizing disruption and reducing the risk of deadlocks. Its ecosystem of “ANT-driven” vehicles spans a wide range of vehicle types, all of which can be managed through a unified fleet management platform based on BlueBotics’ ANT server fleet manager.
“Industrial users don’t just need autonomous vehicles - they need systems that remain predictable, coordinated and scalable as operations grow,” said Dr. Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics. “At MODEX, we look forward to discussing how bounded autonomy allows fleets to handle obstacles more intelligently while maintaining smooth, predictable operations.”
The company said that this approach reflects a growing industry focus on system-level performance, where predictability, interoperability and centralized control are essential to scaling automation successfully across sites and applications.
BlueBotics said that it will place fleet manager standardization at the center of its MODEX presence through a joint seminar with Kohler, a kitchen and bath company.
The seminar, titled The Power of One: Unlocking AGV/AMR Efficiency Through Unified Fleet Management, will take place on Tuesday, April 14 from 12:30 PM to 1:15 PM at the Supply Chain Resiliency Theater.
During the session, Tomatis and Brian Gruzdis, senior staff engineer - warehouse automation lead at Kohler, will discuss the benefits of standardizing an AGV/AMR fleet manager, the potential risks involved, and best practices for selecting a fleet manager partner and deploying enterprise-wide fleet management software.
