Client Overview
The Model Factory@SIMTech, an initiative under Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), serves as a high-tech, experimental facility designed to foster advanced manufacturing technologies. As a hands-on digitalization hub, it provides companies the opportunity to explore Industry 4.0 innovations within a pilot-scale production line.
Project Goals
SIMTech faced the challenge of managing diverse autonomous mobile robots, each operating with separate interfaces and systems. This led to issues in interoperability, scalability, and operational efficiency. SIMTech aimed to unify its robotic fleet to improve navigation, streamline operations, and support flexible automation across its facility.
Challenges
The transition to a unified system required solutions that could:
Integrate various types of robots under a single, easy-to-use fleet management interface.
Address scalability for future robot additions.
Minimize risks like robot collisions in a busy, multi-brand robot environment.
Movel AI’s Solution
Movel AI’s Movel FMS (Fleet Management System) was deployed to manage SIMTech’s robotic fleet:
Unified Control: Enabled a single platform for overseeing multiple robots from different brands.
Real-Time Management: Provided both manual and automated task delegation, simplifying complex workflows.
Enhanced Navigation: Leveraged Seirios RNS (Robot Navigation System) for precise movement control, with collision detection features.
Impact & Results
Operational Efficiency: Allowed SIMTech to monitor and manage multiple robots seamlessly, reducing system complexity and streamlining operations.
Scalability: Facilitated future robot integrations without additional setup complexities.
Improved Flexibility: Empowered SIMTech to test advanced automation solutions in a realistic production environment.
Project Highlights
Advanced Task Delegation: Enabled both automated and manual task assignments across diverse robot types.
Enhanced Safety: Reduced collision risks with sensor-driven navigation, creating a safer operational environment.
Movel AI’s FMS solution has positioned Model Factory@SIMTech to showcase the future of integrated, autonomous manufacturing environments in Singapore.
