FlexGuide4

One solution for your entire fleet

Mobile Robots

Effortless hardware integration

With FlexGuide4, you can integrate AGVs and AMRs from different manufacturers quickly and flexibly into your processes thanks to VDA5050regardless of manufacturer and future-proof.
Robots without VDA5050 can also be controlled seamlessly via our own interface.

Traffic management

FlexGuide4 allows you to control traffic flows efficiently – even in narrow or heavily used areas.
Temporary closures for conversions can be set up quickly so that your processes remain safe and uninterrupted at all times.

Central battery management

With FlexGuide4, your robots are always optimally charged.
The system automatically monitors charging statuses to ensure trouble-free, efficient operation.

Intelligent evacuation management

In the event of an alarm from the fire alarm control panel, the robots stop their tasks immediately and drive independently to the evacuation point to keep escape routes and fire doors clear.

Fork Lifts

Intuitive cockpit

The FlexGuide4 Forklift Cockpit simplifies the operation of the forklift tablets and reduces complexity.

Simple handover

Orders are transferred effortlessly between all resources with FlexGuide4flexibly and automatically.

Optimized scheduling

With FlexGuide4, all orders are automatically distributed to the best available resource – whether robot, forklift or human.
This ensures seamless and efficient order processing.

TheFlex Integration

With TheFlex, the industry browser, FlexGuide4 becomes even more flexible –
tailored to your requirements.

Effortless hardware integration – With FlexGuide4, you can quickly and easily integrate mobile robots (AGVs – Automated Guided Vehicles and AMRs – Autonomous Mobile Robots) from a wide range of hardware manufacturers into your processes thanks to the support of VDA5050. This means that you are not dependent on a single hardware manufacturer and can flexibly expand your logistics solutions as required – entirely in line with your individual requirements. We also make it possible to control non-VDA5050 robots using our own customized interface

Traffic management – With FlexGuide4, you can ensure smooth traffic regulations that enable the parallel use of numerous resources in a limited space. Optimize your processes, even in narrow or heavily frequented areas. You can also set up temporary closures of areas, e.g. to carry out conversion work efficiently – without disrupting your operations. Flexible, safe and maximally efficient.

Central battery management – FlexGuide4 ensures that your robots are always sufficiently charged to keep the material flows in your intralogistics system running smoothly at all times. The system manages the charge levels so that there are always enough ready-to-use robots available – for continuous and efficient operation.

Intelligent evacuation management – In the event of an alarm from the fire alarm control panel, the robots immediately cancel their travel orders and drive to the evacuation point to keep escape routes and fire doors clear.

Intuitive cockpit – The FlexGuide4 Forklift Cockpit enables intuitive operation of the forklift tablets. This reduces complexity and therefore additional work.

Easy transfer – With FlexGuide4, orders can be transferred effortlessly between different resources, whether manual or automated.

Optimized scheduling – FlexGuide4 provides a central order pool for all resources and automatically distributes transport orders to the most suitable resource. If a forklift truck breaks down or takes a break, the best possible resource – be it a robot or a human – seamlessly takes over the job. This guarantees uninterrupted and efficient order processing.

Paperless processes – FlexGuide4 is designed to be completely paperless, saving valuable resources and protecting the environment. In addition, paper documents can still be created if necessary to meet specific requirements.

Global route optimization and workload overview – Through continuous planning with a view of all active route trains, we achieve globally optimized route planning. This gives you full transparency of the workload, visualized in the Gantt chart, and allows you to optimally control all routes.

Increased transparency for the control center and driver – the route trains can be tracked by everyone involved: Drivers get a clear overview of their routes via an interactive 2D map, while the control center is informed about the transport progress in real time.

Flexible application scenarios for versatile requirements – Whether upstream picking, system-guided 1:1 empties/full goods exchange processes or milk run routes – our solution covers a wide variety of scenarios. It is also suitable for mixed scenarios in which empties or finished goods are also taken along.

Efficient and resource-saving logistics – With our optimized tugger train planning, you can achieve sustainable use of resources and minimize empty runs. This allows you to increase the efficiency of your transport processes and reduce costs at the same time.

Intuitive cockpits – All FlexGuide4 interfaces were developed in close collaboration with our customers and with the user at the center. This makes the software intuitive and easy to use, which saves time-consuming training and ensures an optimal user experience.

Device-independent use – Whether PC, tablet, smartphone, mobile scanner, handheld device or many others – FlexGuide4 runs on all common devices and ensures maximum flexibility and compatibility.

Transparent controlling – FlexGuide4 reliably stores all relevant data and, in combination with FlexRules, offers the option of creating detailed evaluations in real time. This gives you a comprehensive overview of all processes at all times.

TheFlex – Use FlexGuide4 in combination with TheFlex, the industrial browser, for even more flexibility as the solution tailored to your needs.
