Autonomous navigation and fleet management supplier BlueBotics has launched ‘SmartPass’, a new efficiency-driving innovation within its ANT software suite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Available for ‘ANT driven’ AGVs and AMRs, SmartPass is a robust, safe, and highly configurable technology that meets the core efficiency goal of obstacle avoidance without the drawbacks of traditional AMRs. SmartPass suits all types of automated vehicles and industrial sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

No matter how clean a site, and how well trained its staff, the paths of mobile robots sometimes become blocked… AGVs typically manage this situation by sending an alarm to an operator, while AMRs take any route possible, without limitation. The first can lead to transport delays, the second to traffic deadlocks. SmartPass effectively bridges the gap between the two.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

commented BlueBotics<\/a>\u2019 CEO, Dr. Nicola Tomatis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridging the gap between AGVs & AMRs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SmartPass enables automated vehicles to follow virtual paths most of the time \u2014 for efficient, robust, and repeatable operation \u2014 while performing pragmatic obstacle avoidance maneuvers when blockages are detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRather than layering basic traffic management over obstacle avoidance functionality \u2014 which AMR producers have attempted with limited results \u2014 SmartPass does the opposite,\u201d Tomatis explained. \u201cIt adds smart, configurable obstacle avoidance to ANT navigation\u2019s default \u2018virtual path follower\u2019 mode. This ensures the powerful traffic management features of our ANT server fleet manager are also applied to SmartPass maneuvers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three key SmartPass benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ANT\u2019s SmartPass function offers three key benefits that together are unique in the mobile robot industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Efficiency-focused movement
    \u2022 Vehicles using SmartPass take the shortest route around an obstacle \u2014 within pre-configured limits \u2014 before returning immediately to their virtual path.
    \u2022 SmartPass-enabled vehicles also move faster than traditional AMRs. Travelling at optimal speeds and with optimal acceleration, they follow virtual paths and respect clear traffic rules most of the time, switching to slower, more reactive speeds only when needed.
    \u2022 Vehicle actions like moving forks and communicating with equipment take place during SmartPass maneuvers, saving time versus the more common sequential approach.
    \u2022 SmartPass maneuvers are blocked near pick\/drop points to guarantee precision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Minimizes deadlocks
    \u2022 By managing the movements of vehicles within the ANT server\u2019s existing traffic management framework, SmartPass guarantees that vehicles only avoid obstacles when there is no risk of blocking another robot, minimizing the chance of deadlocks.
    \u2022 Vehicles only move around objects and never around other vehicles, a further cause of deadlocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fully configurable
    \u2022 SmartPass can be configured to suit every user\u2019s site and operational needs. Customers can define, for example, the maximum distance a vehicle is allowed to travel from its virtual path; the areas (and even individual routes) of a site where SmartPass cannot be used; and vehicle-specific parameters such as the exact distance to stop before an obstacle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cSmartPass doesn\u2019t allow robots to roam freely, and it is built from the ground up on ANT server\u2019s powerful traffic management<\/a>, virtually eliminating the chance of deadlocks,\u201d Tomatis added. \u201cWe are confident this safe, prudent approach best meets the needs of industrial customers looking to deploy AGVs and AMRs in what are often high-traffic locations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    SmartPass is available now for vehicle makers, system integrators, and end users deploying \u2018ANT driven<\/a>\u2019 AGVs\/AMRs managed by BlueBotics\u2019 ANT server fleet manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
