FUJISOFT INCORPORATED and EXEDY Corporation have entered into a distributor agreement for MixFlit, an autonomous mobile robot control system. EXEDY plans to offer it in combination with its proprietary AMR, Neibo, establishing a system for centrally controlling different AMRs.
FUJISOFT INCORPORATED and EXEDY Corporation have entered into a distributor agreement for MixFlit, a fleet control management system. Going forward, EXEDY will offer MixFlit together with Neibo, an AMR developed in-house.
Collaboration between an AMR manufacturer and a software vendor will establish a framework for advancing the automation of in-factory transport through integrated hardware-and-software proposals. The arrangement is expected to enable different manufacturers' AMRs to be operated as a single unified system.
At manufacturing sites, declining working-age populations and a shortage of skilled workers have made it a challenge to integrate management screens and operating procedures when different AMRs are introduced for different applications. The agreement may enhance operational consistency across AMRs.
