Automation Awakenings Dr. Oliver Zuchowski and Matthias Plucinski

Today, we're diving into a rather theoretical yet crucial topic: norms and regulations for AGV implementation and usage. Join us as we unravel the complexities and importance of these standards. Ever heard of EN ISO 3691-4? It's more than just a number; it's a cornerstone for AGV implementation. From CE certification to ISO standards, we'll explore how these norms not only ensure safety but also might serve as a guideline. Join us as we navigate the world of regulations and discover why compliance isn't just about avoiding trouble. Stay tuned, and let's awaken the potential of automation together.

Diving into Navigation Technologies for Mobile Robtos (AGVs/AMRs) can feel like navigating a maze itself, with its options available. From the classic magnetic tape to 2D SLAM, 3D SLAM, VSLAM, and the game-changing precision of LiDAR, the landscape is vast and varied. Join us as we unravel the complexities, shedding light on the features, benefits, and applications of each technology.

Welcome to our latest Automation Awakenings podcast where we delve into the world of mobile robots and the industries where they truly shine. From manufacturing to healthcare, mobile robots are revolutionizing various sectors, optimizing processes, and enhancing productivity like never before. In this comprehensive guide, we'll uncover the key industries where mobile robots make a significant impact, providing real-world examples and insights into their applications.

Do want to invest in AGV or AMR and scale the number of fleets in your organisation? If yes, the VDA5050 standard will be a must to do so. Watch our Vodcast Episode from the Intralogistics Testcamp in Dortmund, Germany and learn about the benefits of the standard, implementation challenges as well as lessons learned from experiences practitioners.
