The Next Generation AGV-Platform FSoE AGVs / AMRs have become an indispensable part of modern manufacturing and logistics. Such high-tech products have an elaborate AGV system architecture, comprising a large number of individual components and complex cabling. The complexity results in high development, procurement and commissioning costs, causing a clutter of cables and resulting in space shortages inside the vehicle. Therefore, AGVs are extremely costly to manufacture and most demanding in terms of maintenance. We do it diﬀerently In cooperation with the companies Synapticon, Kontron, Brinkmann...
