Simulation capabilities for optimizing AMR/AGV fleet size, layout and material flow

How can you make informed investment decisions, reduce risks and speed up commissioning?

With SIMOVE Fleetmanager and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, you plan, validate, and optimize your fleet before implementation. Thanks to holistic plant modeling based on Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, your planning is accurate and system-independent. You can validate performance based on simulated cycle times, fleet sizes and layout impacts. Reuse the simulation for testing system configurations, parameters and traffic-control algorithms.

Scalable and modular automation based on standard components

Using the SIMOVE architecture and our TIA portfolio, you benefit from scalable and future-proof systems, efficient engineering and operations, as well as enhanced compliance and global acceptance. Standardized hardware with integrated safety and diagnostics enables easier maintenance. The TIA Portal makes unified engineering possible. And you can deploy faster thanks to modular designs and predefined architectures, which ensure compliance and scalability.

Mixed-fleet orchestration independent of supplier and automation

Managing a mixed fleet can be challenging. With SIMOVE Fleetmanager, it becomes easy: Decrease your dependency on suppliers and maximize the efficiency of your fleet with unified fleet control for all mobile units. SIMOVE offers a vendor-independent platform for orchestrating diverse mobile robots, machines and manually operated vehicles. Machines, equipment, and manual vehicles can be integrated into the material flow as well. AI algorithms deliver dynamic routing, congestion avoidance, and workload balancing for higher efficiency.

White paper

Unlock the benefits of flexible production

Deploying mobile robots alone is not enough to transform your production processes. The real challenge lies in the software layer: without a standardized ecosystem, heterogeneous fleets lead to data silos and operational inefficiencies.

This whitepaper explores how a unified software architecture for simulation, integration, and orchestration overcomes these barriers.

dpm Daum + Partner Maschinenbau GmbH and Siemens Cham, Germany

Another step forward from automation towards autonomy

The objective was to develop a new AMR solution, called MINICART, that can be deployed across a variety of manufacturing use cases. Siemens supported dpm during the design and commissioning phases, including the vehicle safety system and CE certification. The result: a fully standardized solution based on proven SIMOVE components and 120 autonomously generated transport orders per shift at the Siemens site in Cham.
