Fleet manager NAVIOS
The central intelligence behind our AGV and AMR systems
Fleet and energy management
Once an order has been received, NAVIOS uses the current order pool to check which vehicle is most suitable. This ensures that the individual vehicles are always sufficiently loaded, that there are no empty runs and that orders are completed as quickly as possible.
At the same time, routes can be dynamically recalculated at any time if, for example, orders with higher prioritization arrive or other vehicles have to use the same route. Route planning can also take place over several floors.
Material flow control
Orders can be generated in a variety of ways: automatically via sensors, the comparison of target/actual stock levels and the definition of time windows, as well as manually via touch terminal, directly at the vehicle terminal or via the connection to an ERP system.
Through intelligent order optimization, the individual transport trips are linked together, held back where necessary, prioritized or rerouted to avoid congestion. In addition, in the event of short-term changes to the stations, these can even be adjusted during operation.
Storage and parking space management
In addition to material flow and fleet control, NAVIOS can also be used to implement warehouse or storage location management. Especially where precisely timed storage and collection of goods is necessary, you benefit from the fact that everything is mapped within one software and thus no communication difficulties can arise.
Simple to use, extensive in its possibilities, VDA 5050 included.
Our fleet manager NAVIOS is characterized equally by its stability acquired over the years and a wide range of functions, as well as by the ongoing further development with the latest technologies. Every development step is completely in the hands of DS Automotion. Due to the complete integration of the VDA 5050 interface, our systems can be extended with compatible vehicles at any time.
Your benefits
NAVIOS has been under constant development by us for many years now and is always kept up to date with the latest technology trends. The combination of decades of market experience and ongoing research enables a good balance between innovative functions and a high level of stability, so that your system will be ready for use for years to come. Together with universities and partner companies, we are constantly working on research projects to keep our finger on the pulse.
Our team of highly specialized requirements engineers personally engages with your business to create a customized solution for your needs beyond our standard features. Together with our project developers and our quality assurance team, this results in a software product that you will enjoy using for a long time.
Through our many years of experience, we have already connected our software to countless other products and have developed ready-made standard interfaces for many of them. To ensure smooth integration, we are, for example, actively involved in the further development of VDA5050. We also work with technologies such as OPC UA, Modbus TCP, ProfiNet, SMTP, MQTT, REST:API, a wide variety of databases, digital IO signals and TCP ASCII telegrams.
With us, you get everything from a single source: This means that you can always contact us directly for inquiries about the software as well as the vehicles and do not have to search laboriously for the right contact person. In addition, this saves many communication levels in the project and also maximizes compatibility at the software level.

Through the navigation map, the layout design of the driving course is visualized and you can see exactly where and in which work step a vehicle is. In addition, you can change the layout during runtime, the vehicles get the updated conditions automatically transferred. With the extensive analysis functions you can even evaluate how effective the current driving course is.
