If your automation processes require integration or interactions outside of a robot vendor's pre-defined flow, you will probably need an orchestration layer to get the behavior you want.
Like conveyors and sorters that need a PLC to operate, autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and autonomous guided vehicles (AGV) require essential control software to handle important functions like battery charging, navigation, and workflow. Some robot vendors have their own fleet management on top of control software, but there are also several third-party vendors offering platforms for robot support and analytics.
The reality is that many use cases require some level of integrated orchestration. Some robot vendors have developed their own software to drive workflows that deliver consistent ROI. This approach minimizes the complexity of integration by only requiring a list of tasks, but limits the applicable use cases to the logic supported by their software. Other robot vendors have taken a more flexible automation approach by focusing on optimizing the capabilities of their platforms and allowing an orchestration/execution layer to drive the process workflow. This approach maximizes the applicable use cases in operations and allows for differentiation in the implementation. In flexible automation scenarios, a robot fleet management system will not be sufficient since these solutions are not intended to drive end-to-end operational workflows. As a next-generation WES, LogistiVIEW works with robot fleet management to orchestrate the workflow in a way that takes low-level signals into account to deliver greater process flexibility and resilience. |

LogistiVIEW - the platform for what's next.
Human-Centric: The first platform to optimize human participation as a core part of warehouse automation. Optimizing how tasks are executed, filling operational gaps, flexing for peaks, feeding fixed automation and collaborating with robots. Ensure collaborative success across your entire operation.
Flexible: Efficiency shouldn’t be so hard. LogistiVIEW’s codeless workflow engine allows warehouse processes to be created and modified by those responsible for driving business results. No long expensive WMS projects and no custom code required from MHE and robotics vendors. Take back control of your automation. Flow Controlled: Siloed systems kill true ROI. Investing in a faster picking system only to gridlock the shipping dock is an all too common norm. LogistiVIEW sits between WMS/ERP and your WCS/fixed automation and robots, not just executing tasks, but also orchestrating HOW and when tasks are executed. Vendor Agnostic: Vendor selection today should not handcuff your tomorrow. LogistiVIEW connects to any WMS, MHE, or robotics vendor. Plug and play best hardware vendor to solve today's problems, with the flexibility to change automation or vendors in the future without a costly software project. Future-proof: Stop planning for the future and investing in the past. It's no longer ‘what COULD we do IF things change', rather it's 'what CAN we do WHEN they change.’ LogistiVIEW provides a low cost way to execute today with the freedom to quickly change tomorrow. The Software Automation Platform for what’s next. |
Workflow Engine
The Power of Intelligent Workflows
Powering our platform is a workflow engine that applies exponential technologies to core processes across the warehouse. The orchestration layer evaluates all available assets, from fixed infrastructure to humans and warehouse robotics, and determines the optimal means to complete the work.
