Roboteon, the leading innovator in intelligent warehouse and manufacturing robotics software, announced its expanded set of capabilities that serve as a digital nervous system that enables manufacturers to integrate, synchronize, orchestrate and optimize automated materials flows on the shop floor.

We have entered a new era in terms of materials handling robotics, with a wide and growing array of Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and autonomous AGVs.

However, manufacturers deploying AMRs, AGVs and other material handling automation systems face many challenges, including  the following:

• Use of inflexible, hard coded integrations that take too long and are difficult to maintain and change
• Difficulty managing fleets of different types of robots and from different vendors
• An inability to optimize complex materials flows

The good news: Roboteon addresses all these challenges and more, providing a unified platform – the Robotics Fulfillment & Orchestration Platform – to manage all robotic resources across robot types and vendors, optimize material flow and gain complete real-time operational visibility.
