Simove automation platform expanded to include omnidirectional driving module

Simove automation platform

With Simove, Siemens offers a system platform designed specifically for AGVs. The platform includes standardized automation and drive components together with modular, pre-tested software from the Siemens Digital Enterprise portfolio. Thanks to this wide portfolio, users can choose between PC and PLC-based versions for the control solution. Numerous interfaces are available for vehicles from different manufacturers, which means that the Simove control system can also be retrofitted for existing AGV fleets. The automation of the vehicles, just like at control system level, is based on a software kit with components from the Totally Integrated Automation (TIA) product range and can be engineered with the same tools in the standard environment used for all TIA products. Add-ons to the system include special application software for location detection, diagnostics and navigation.
