Application fields
Autonomous transport systems
Our platform enables autonomous mobility for any industrial transport system and paves the way for flexible networking of production stations. Without the use of artificial aids such as markers or track systems, obstacles can be avoided dynamically, areas of application can be changed as required, user-centered, plannable workflows can be tracked, and an entire fleet of AGVs can be orchestrated thanks to our tailored fleet management.
We provide independent consulting and on-demand integration of mobile transport systems: certifiable and context-specific to applications such as manufacturing, laboratory environments, hospitals, or other public sectors. With customized sensor setup, we also enable safe navigation in outdoor areas.

Mobile Inspection
Our combined solutions of autonomous navigation and AI-based inspection enable the automatic, flexible monitoring of quality and environmental conditions. Our mobile inspection solutions benefit from the use of any mobile platform. Thus, even existing transport systems can be upgraded towards inspection operations. The results are automatically generated evaluations and test reports. If necessary, orders for (manual) maintenance or repairs can be assigned automatically if anomalies or errors are detected.
Based on simple, clear workflows and powerful AI, we offer the implementation of mobile inspection tasks that meet high requirements in terms of quality and cost-effectiveness. Read our case blog post for more details on the collaboration with Deutsche Bahn AG.

Mobile manipulation & robotics
In addition to autonomous navigation of the mobile platform, our integrations of mobile robot systems also include software intelligence for flexible location handling, assembly, and production tasks. Thus, especially for small and medium-sized companies and moderate lot size, classic (collaborative) robot systems can be better utilized and quickly amortized. Collision avoidance and optimal path planning can be implemented for both the mobile platform and the robotic arm.
We offer tailor-made implementation of use cases in production environments and beyond. Learn more in our technical article on the technology focus “on-demand pick & delivery with mobile robots.”

Semantic mapping &
digital twin
Object recognition and localization provide extensive spatial and temporal insights into the environment of mobile systems. In combination with environment maps, semantic maps emerge from environments that reliably support automated or manual decisions. In terms of the digital twin, reliable planning can be carried out based on current data from the factory layout.
