Fleet Simulator
Optimize your fleet before you deploy it.
OMRON Fleet Simulator offers the industry’s first mobile robot simulator for factory and manufacturing applications. It plans traffic and workflows for fleets of autonomous mobile robots so customers can identify potential bottlenecks and optimize workflows without ever having to deploy a real robot.
Together with our Fleet Manager that is tailored to ensure best in class fleet management, we provide solutions for built-in data capture, analytics and reporting to enable factories to optimize the performance of the overall factory as well as their Omron robot fleet.
Benefits:
-
Assess impact of map changes, scaling, route changes, and new software features
-
Simulate up to 10 robots, in up to three separate fleets
-
Visualize individual robot path planning and interaction with other robots
-
Simulate custom environment based on real-world facilities
-
Identify traffic flow bottlenecks
-
Validate third-party software
Collect customized analytics
OMRON’s Fleet Simulator emulates robot behaviors including localization, path planning, obstacle avoidance and fleet management to provide valuable insight on performance in the real world. The system can simulate jobs to predict throughput and optimize fleet size in a map of an actual facility.
Easily manage entire mobile ecosystem
The OMRON Fleet Simulator is designed to be compatible with the OMRON Fleet Operations Workspace (FLOW) platform for mobile robotics. The simulator runs on the OMRON EM2100, which can be configured as a Fleet Manager, Backup Fleet Manager, and now a Fleet Simulator. To use an EM2100 as a Fleet Simulator, the device can be configured at the factory or with a software license in the field.
Factory optimization with best in class fleet management
Factory managers have constant pressure to meet a variety of improvement goals for their factory. Our fleet management solution is tailored to ensure best in class fleet management and provide built-in data capture, analytics and reporting to enable factories to optimize the performance of the overall factory as well as their Omron robot fleet.
-
Manage fleets of up to 100 robots in any configuration
-
Displays robot location, status and job queue
-
Prioritizes important jobs
-
Selects fastest routes based on human and robot traffic
-
Identifies blocked paths and creates alternative routes
-
Optimizes job assignments and battery charging
Powerful Fleet Management
The OMRON Fleet Operations Workspace (FLOW) solution provides an intelligent fleet management system that monitors mobile robot locations, traffic flow, and job requests, ensuring your factory operates at peak efficiency. By automating robot tasks, our FLOW Core solution also reduces programming in your manufacturing execution system (MES) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
-
Fleet integration toolkit using industry standards such as Restful, SQL, Rabbit MQ, ARCL
-
Fleet Simulation: Small fleets (up to 10) can be simulated to new installations or factory changeovers
-
Increase fleet efficiency and job prioritization using more intelligent traffic rules
-
15% Reduction in Goal-to-Goal Travel Time
-
Improve goal precision from ± 100mm to ± 8mm due to Cell Alignment Positioning System (CAPS)
-
Our PC- and tablet-based software interface helps you manage your fleet
-
Hybrid Fleets. Easily control jobs different types of robots (LD-60/90, LD-250 and HD-1500) using new fleet management and traffic techniques when running multiple types of robots.
