…and responsive. Look at the navigation function on a smart phone. It can you show where traffic is backed up 100 miles ahead and allow you to plan a detour. It’s tapping the GPS of all those other drivers to see which ones are slow. We’re doing the same thing for material flow. For complex systems handling thousands of orders…

…solution will provide natural feature navigation, so there is no need to add fiducials or reflectors to the operating environment. The system is reconfigurable to accommodate changing operational preferences and/or changing facility infrastructure. It is also easily redeployable between various processes due to increase or decrease in production volume. This solution will be introduced at AUTOMATICA 2016 (Messe München |…
