Automatica 2023
VDMA: Special show for innovative production logistics
More and more driverless transport vehicles and mobile robots are on the move in production and logistics. With the associated automation, the interoperability of devices is becoming increasingly important and open communication interfaces such as VDA 5050 play an important role.
They are already simplifying the connection of different vehicles to a master control system in logistics, and VDA 5050 also offers great potential for production logistics. This is exactly what the special show "Mobile Robots in Production" at Automatica in Munich will be demonstrating. For the first time, trade visitors can experience a production-related scenario with the AGV Mesh-Up@automatica, which is part of the special show, in which the various vehicles are integrated into a master control system with the VDA 5050.
At the stand, driverless transport vehicles and mobile robots from various manufacturers will be on the same routes in the demonstration area. In addition, the connection of mobile robots to production systems and workstations as well as the transfer of workpieces to production systems and process interlinking with mobile robots will be demonstrated. The special show offers trade fair visitors the opportunity to exchange ideas with developers, manufacturers and experts on this topic. The AGV Mesh-Up was initiated by the VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics Association together with its member companies for the first time in 2021 to test the practical implementation of the VDA 5050 communication interface and share the state of the art with customer industries.
2023 marks the culmination of the previous test scenarios with the largest and most elaborate setting to date at Test Camp Intralogistic in Dortmund. Version 2.0.0 of VDA 5050, which reflects the current state of development, was used for testing. "Mobile Robots in Production" with the AGV Mesh-Up@automatica is a joint project of the VDMA Robotics + Automation and Materials Handling and Intralogistics associations together with Messe München.
