FlexTools research project – the modular toolbox for flexible robotics for small and medium-sized automotive suppliers
SimPlan develops simulator-independent control layer
The central focus of SimPlan is the VDA5050 connection of various simulation tools, including Plant Simulation and Emulate3D. The idea is to develop a standardised control layer for AMR/FTF that works independently of the respective tool. The module libraries for AMR fleets are also being improved.
