arculus invented modular production using a real-time controlled full-stack software platform paired with autonomous mobile robots.
modular production
Software system for real-time controlled fulfillment of product orders based on availability and utilization of resources, enabled by autonomous mobile robots
CAPABILITIES
- design and configuration of entire production system (steps, tasks, priority graph, layout)
- creation of individual production paths for individual products
- AI-based planning and controlling of product flow
- integrated quality cycles
- adaption to unforeseen events due to decision-making at run time
- integration of (goods-to-person) logistics
- worker information system
- algorithm for worker rotation
- adaption to worker qualification
BENEFITS
- suitable for applications in all verticals, from automotive to consumer electronics to appliance
- adaptable volatility in product mix and volume
- improved quality due to inline rework
- decreased downtime due to decoupled stations
- KPI-driven optimization
fleet management
Platform for intelligent traffic management of multiple robot fleets, integrating 3rd party robots via standardized open API (VDA5050)
CAPABILITIES
- layout modeling, including driveways and infrastructure such as gates
- simulation of product and material flow, resulting in precise KPIs
- interface with standard WMS
- selection of suitable AMRs depending on cargo, availability and location
- 2D/ 3D visualization and monitoring
- detailed reporting
- intelligent routing and rerouting based on live traffic information
- error handling via dedicated views for service and maintenance staff
- dedicated views for operators and management
BENEFITS
- one solution for multiple fleets from different suppliers in the same space: one system to train, one system to maintain, flexible licensing model
- robust operation and quality of service
- empowered operators can make changes to the system
warehouse management
Software system for goods-to-person warehouse management with support for picking and service processes, enabled by autonomous mobile robots
CAPABILITIES
inventory management
worker guidance at picking station
quality control through pick/put by scan
handling of special processes such as visual control, manual part orders
suitable for small and large load carriers (KLT and GLT)
optimization of sequencing and commissioning strategies
optimization of storage strategies
BENEFITS
- removal of all walking activities
- increased picks per hour
- decreased space consumption
- zero defect
arculee
The arculee is an autonomous mobile robot that brings the capabilities from autonomous vehicles and economies from mass production into industrial environments
CAPABILITIES
autonomous transport of products and material
robust localization and navigation based on sensor data fusion
payload 1to
most compact vehicle in its class
logging pipeline and tools for analysis
(predictive) maintenance concept
in-line charging for maximum utilization
over the air updates
- 5G connectivity
CE certification for collaborative environments
BENEFITS
- full autonomy for product and material handling in industrial environments
- stress-tested performance in complex environments
VDA 5050
arculus was the first technology company showcasing the possibility of controlling multiple AMRs from different suppliers with one fleet management back in 2016. In collaboration with AUDI AG and the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) arculus with its know-how as a software provider developed the standardization of the unified AMR interface VDA5050.
