Centralized Fleet Manager

Forza Fleet Manager offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that serves as a central hub for overseeing the entire AMR fleet. This centralized control system simplifies operations, reduces the complexity of fleet supervision, and enhances the efficiency of task assignment and execution. Operators can easily access critical information and manage AMR activities from a single dashboard, minimizing the need for multiple control points.

Real-Time Monitoring

Real-Time Monitoring: Equipped with advanced real-time tracking capabilities, Forza Fleet Manager provides live updates on the position, operational status, and performance of each AMR in the fleet. This ensures that any deviations or issues can be swiftly identified and addressed, enabling rapid response to unexpected situations and minimizing downtime. The system also offers detailed visualizations of the AMR’s routes and working areas, making it easy to monitor traffic flow and system efficiency.

VDA5050 Protocol

The step-by-step modernization of companies often leads to heterogeneous AMR fleets from different manufacturers.

VDA5050 Benefits:

⠀⠀• The Forza Fleet Manager provides a non vendor specific and standardized interface to control of AMRs (VDA5050).

⠀⠀• It is even possible to integrate manually controlled vehicles into the system.

⠀⠀• Algorithms optimize routing reduce congestion's and maximize the workload of the AMR fleet.

Standard protocols like OPC UA or S7/S7+ provides smooth integration and connectivity to machines and the plant environment (e.g., doors).

Scalability

Designed to grow alongside your business, Forza Fleet Manager easily accommodates the expansion of your AMR fleet and system capabilities. Whether managing a small fleet or a large-scale operation, the platform maintains optimal performance without compromising system reliability or responsiveness. This scalability ensures that your investment remains future-proof and adaptable to evolving operational needs.

Data-Driven Insights for Smarter Decisions

With Master Control, you gain access to a wealth of data that can transform the way you operate. Through advanced analytics and reporting tools, you can monitor key performance indicators such as AMR uptime, task completion rates, and overall fleet efficiency. These insights enable you to make data-driven decisions that drive continuous improvement, increase productivity, and reduce operational costs. Moreover, predictive maintenance features help you anticipate and address potential issues before they result in unplanned downtime, leading to significant cost savings and optimized fleet performance.

Safety and Collision Avoidance

With Master Control, you gain access to a wealth of data that Safety is paramount in industrial automation, and Forza Fleet Manager implements advanced safety protocols to protect both AMRs and human workers. The system uses sophisticated navigation strategies and real-time environmental data to prevent collisions and ensure safe operations in shared workspaces. Emergency stop functions, obstacle detection, and adaptive path planning further enhance safety standards.

Standardize MES integration

Standardized, reliable, and efficient interoperability with shop floor devices is a crucial part for efficient manufacturing processes.

Implementation of this integration between the MES level and the shop floor means a huge effort.

Especially tag and protocol definition, development of dedicated business logic, and integration tests are time consuming

⠀⠀• The SIMOVE Fleetmanager reduces this efforts by providing a standardized Transport Order OT Management API (TOM API).
