With SARA (for Smart Analytics Reporting Application), the expert in transport robotics EK Robotics provides customers and operators of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with a tool for analyzing their own systems in a short space of time. The app is intuitive to use and the results are presented in a clear and concise format. SARA also provides information and recommendations that can be used to optimize the AGV with a view to greater efficiency and higher performance.

Always knowing exactly how an AGV is performing is essential in order to be able to analyze and optimize the performance of your own intralogistics processes. In many industries, a high degree of automation is now regarded as a tangible, if not decisive, factor for staying ahead of the competition. This applies not only to the actual production of goods and merchandise, but also increasingly to intralogistics. Small and medium-sized companies have also discovered the benefits of a smart, modern solution for in-house goods transportation and are relying on automated guided vehicles from ek robotics.

Software tool for thorough analysis

Designing, setting up and operating an AGV is a complex task in itself. Once installed, the work on such a system is not over, as changes are constantly occurring in interaction with individual areas of the company, to which the AGV must be adapted. This is where SARA comes into play: the analysis app records all relevant AGV data, evaluates it in various statistics in real time and thus provides a reliable overview.

SARA's standard package includes the four basic modules Dashboard with a complete overview of system performance, Transport Analysis, Fleet Analysis and Event Analysis. They are used to permanently track the AGV live, including all vehicles, and any weak points, performance peaks and conspicuous driving course areas are quickly identified. On this basis, SARA creates recommendations for action to improve the system. Handling the software itself is straightforward: SARA is cloud-based and can be operated using any standard internet browser. ek robotics offers SARA as Software as a Service (SaaS). All you need to use the app is an end device with an internet connection.
