Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR), a leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), has unveiled MiR Fleet Enterprise, a new fleet management software platform that prioritizes scalability, flexibility, and security. This innovative solution is designed to optimize material handling workflows and enhance productivity, positioning MiR as a comprehensive provider for internal logistics.
While MiR has always offered robust software solutions, MiR Fleet Enterprise takes it a step further, integrating advanced capabilities such as traffic management and streamlined deployment processes. This addresses the complex requirements of enterprise-level clients seeking comprehensive, end-to-end solutions. With projections from Interact Analysis estimating the global AMR market will surpass 2.7 million units by 2027, the demand for scalable software is on the rise. MiR Fleet Enterprise meets this need with a management platform that easily integrates into existing IT infrastructures.
Software is a crucial differentiator for AMR brands, so we’ve rebuilt our fleet management platform from the ground up to set a new benchmark for the industry,” said Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of MiR. “MiR Fleet Enterprise is not just an upgrade; it represents our scaling strategy, transitioning from a polling-based API to a more efficient publish-subscribe model. This enables faster, streamlined data exchanges across systems, enhancing overall performance while maintaining a robust cybersecurity foundation. Our modular approach ensures that customers’ fleets of AMRs remain at the forefront of usability and innovation.
Commitment to Cybersecurity As AMR systems become increasingly interconnected with IT environments, robust security measures are more important than ever. MiR Fleet Enterprise incorporates state-of-the-art security features designed to protect against cyber threats, reaffirming MiR’s commitment to delivering secure and scalable solutions.
By integrating advanced security measures and optimizing data exchanges, MiR Fleet Enterprise meets the critical need for robust cybersecurity in expanding AMR fleets, stated Birol Esmer, head of software product management at MiR. Our holistic approach guarantees reliable solutions that adapt to customer needs while safeguarding their operations.
A New Era in AMR Software MiR Fleet Enterprise signifies a shift away from traditional, proprietary fleet management systems. Built to operate on Windows Servers and support various virtualization strategies, the software is compatible with modern IT infrastructures and cloud environments, simplifying deployment and integration. Key features include:
- Enhanced Cybersecurity: With features like single sign-on, audit logging, and an improved user permission system designed for IEC 62443 Part 4-2 (SL-C 3), the software offers strong protection against evolving cyber threats. Its proactive approach allows customers to scale their AMR systems confidently while maintaining IT security.
- Flexible Configuration: Users have complete control over software configuration, allowing for easy customization and updates that align with their IT management strategies. This flexibility enables rapid adaptation to even the most challenging operational requirements.
- Efficient Scalability: Designed for growing fleets and complex integrations, MiR Fleet Enterprise enhances communication between management software and individual AMRs. By optimizing data exchanges, it reduces network load and boosts operational efficiency, even for fleets of over 100 units.
