Hoffman Estates, IL., March 30, 2020 - Omron Automation Americas, a global leader in industrial automation solutions, recently launched a next-generation software package for its mobile robots. Shortened as "FLOW Core", the Fleet Operations Workspace Core is designed to increase the robots' performance and ease of use while laying the foundation for future service-focused capabilities.
Among the primary advantages that FLOW Core provides are a user-focused design that simplifies integration, charge management functionality that maximizes uptime, and intelligent fleet management capabilities that increase flexibility and efficiency. As an all-in-one platform, the software boosts the navigational capabilities of individual robots while simplifying the management of robot fleets.
