DS Automotion at the Logimat 2026
Planned autonomy with real-time navigation
At LogiMAT 2026, DS Automotion demonstrated the adaptability of its driverless transport systems and autonomous mobile robots. The focus of the trade fair appearance: the new version of the Navios Cockpit 3.0 fleet manager with the Navios route planning tool.
The experts from DS Automotion demonstrated this in moderated live demonstrations using a real AMR system. This demonstrated how autonomous transport vehicles can be quickly and flexibly integrated into existing intralogistics processes: Two autonomous vehicles were coordinated centrally via Navios, while routes and transfer points could be changed in real time.
Quick commissioning, even without expert knowledge
What used to require expert knowledge is now largely automated with the Navios Cockpit 3.0 fleet manager. This also reduces the effort involved in commissioning new systems, making adjustments during operation and changing the layout to meet new requirements. According to the company, the entire adaptation process takes less than three minutes - without interrupting operations.
Advantages of zones and free navigation combined
A central feature of the navigation solution is what is known as plannable autonomy. The behavior of the vehicles is controlled in a targeted manner. This means that the vehicles actively avoid obstacles in the autonomously created area and stop in a controlled manner in the lane-guided area.
This zone-based behavior makes it possible to combine the advantages of free navigation and classic lane guidance. DS Automotion received the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year - IFOY Award in 2023 for this concept.
Transparency through analysis
The Navios Cockpit creates transparency through analysis functions and enables continuous evaluation of the entire system. Traffic flows and potential bottlenecks become just as visible as the utilization of the vehicles and the transport service provided.
