Abstract

Combining AMR and AGV systems of different types and from various manufacturers is a common practice in intralogistics. However, this not only creates opportunities but also challenges. Due to a lack of interoperability between systems, these are often managed manually or integrated with a high level of development effort to automate processes. The VDA5050 standard is designed to resolve this issue by laying the foundations for greater interoperability and composability in hybrid fleets. In addition, vendor-independent solutions, such as the Fleet Manager from KINEXON, simplify centralized control and orchestration. Last but not least, AI-enabled analytics allows huge amounts of operating data to be analyzed in real time and provide valuable insights.  

This white paper aims to provide a compact overview and a list of VDA5050-compatible robot vendors to support intralogistics professionals starting or enhancing their hybrid AMR and AGV systems.  

The Key for Centralized Fleet Management, Orchestration, Integration and Automation

Leverage the Benefits of VDA5050

  • Easily integrate new vehicles and robots into an existing control center instead of tedious integration. Adding robot to a fleet becomes a matter of configuration.
  • Moving from complex environments to seamless interconnectivity
  • Turning operational risk into industrial-grade reliability
