In industrial settings, controlling vehicle movement is critical for accuracy and efficiency, especially in mixed environments where robots, forklifts, and human workers share space. NAiSE’s Rules Management feature allows operators to define zones, restricted areas, and access points, adding control in high-risk areas. For example, sensitive warehouse sections can be restricted to workers, preventing accidental damage by robots or forklifts. These boundaries enhance accuracy and simplify navigation, creating a safer, more organized environment.
NAiSE enables overall control of VDA 5050 and non-VDA 5050 robots, assigning tasks, paths, and rules while managing charging and parking positions. VDA 5050 maps further guide robots using pre-defined nodes and edges.
The platform goes beyond vehicle management, integrating facility elements—gates, doors, fire alarms, and elevators—into a unified system. For example, gates open based on vehicle proximity, doors grant selective access, elevators prioritize specific routes, and fire alarms direct robots to safety. This integration streamlines workflows, reduces complexity, and supports evolving intralogistics needs.
To anticipate future demands, NAiSE’s Traffic Simulation feature allows operators to test new robots or layouts virtually before implementation. For instance, when reorganizing storage for a new product line, operators can experiment with various configurations, minimizing disruptions and fostering continuous improvement.
Finally, NAiSE’s Traffic Analysis delivers actionable insights. Heat & Flow Maps highlight high-traffic zones and bottlenecks, enabling intelligent zoning and layout adjustments. The Time Shift feature provides a time-lapse view of past activities, helping identify and resolve conflicts by analyzing specific events in detail.
