Flexible AMR and Driverless Transport System Solutions for Individual Logistics Requirements
At LogiMAT 2026, DS AUTOMOTION demonstrated how flexibly driverless transport systems and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can be adapted to various logistics and customer requirements. The focus was on the new version of the NAVIOS Cockpit 3.0 fleet manager, featuring NAVIOS’s innovative route planning tool. Experts from DS AUTOMOTION demonstrated this twice daily in moderated live demonstrations using a real AMR system.
This demonstrated how autonomous transport vehicles can be integrated quickly, flexibly, and predictably into existing intralogistics processes. The system showcased at the trade show clearly illustrated how flexibly material flows can be controlled today. Two autonomous vehicles were centrally coordinated via NAVIOS, while routes and handover points could be adjusted in real time. The system automatically ensured smooth operations by taking spatial constraints into account and optimizing critical areas to prevent any disruptions in operations.
Faster commissioning, greater flexibility
3.0 fleet manager. This also reduces the effort required for commissioning new systems, making adjustments during operation, and implementing layout changes to meet new requirements.
The entire adjustment takes less than three minutes—without interrupting operations.
With this, DS AUTOMOTION demonstrated three key aspects of modern AMR systems: the predictable autonomy of the vehicles, the real-time adjustment of routes in just a few minutes, and the transparent analysis and optimization of a system.
Flexibility Meets Control
A key feature of the navigation solution is what is known as “programmable autonomy.” This involves the targeted control of vehicle behavior. This means that vehicles actively avoid obstacles in the autonomous zone and stop in a controlled manner in the lane-guided zone.
This zone-based behavior makes it possible to combine the advantages of free navigation and classic lane guidance. For this concept, DS AUTOMOTION 2023 was honored with the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year – IFOY Award.
Transparency through comprehensive analysis functions
The NAVIOS Cockpit creates transparency through comprehensive analysis functions and enables continuous evaluation of the entire facility. Traffic flows and potential bottlenecks become visible, as do vehicle utilization rates and transport performance. This provides operators with a sound basis for decision-making, allowing them to identify optimization potential early on and implement targeted measures to sustainably increase the facility’s efficiency.
