your application
Every FlexDrive AMR can be configured to meet the demands of your manufacturing, assembly, or intralogistics needs.
Each application is tailored to suit your specific product or process. We develop all applications in-house, but can also integrate third-party equipment, such as lifters, conveyors, and mobile platforms. We understand that every process/product is different, and as such, we adapt and design bespoke applications to suit you.

our amrs, your way
- Capable of working safely in areas shared with people and other equipment.
- Begins operation quickly after deployment with minimal programming training, or disruption.
- Maintains function even when surroundings change or layouts are modified.
- Offers high flexibility across different tasks, including complex product and material handling.
- Easily configurable by the end user, with no black-box technology and a user-friendly SIEMENS SIMOVE open architecture.
siemens simove
All FlexDrive AMRs use SIEMENS SIMOVE as their core control system; our vehicles have been developed collaboratively with SIEMENS. Before deployment, we simulate your AMR system using Technomatix Plant Sim, ensuring correct vehicle numbers, charge levels, cycle times, and performance.
This virtual commissioning ensures integration is fast and disruption free.

Master Control and Fleet Management
A PLC-based SIMOVE Master Control supports flexible production environments and enables wireless safety when using Siemens SIMATIC access points for deployments of up to 50 AMRs, per fleet.
For larger-scale operations, SIMOVE Fleet Manager can control over 100 AMRs using VDA5050 communication protocols from a central PC or server.

Connectivity and network options
Our AMRs are WIFI supported adhering to VDA5050 standardised communication and are 5G compatible, region dependant. They can run on your existing wireless infrastructure or a private PROFINET AMR-dedicated network built using SIEMENS hardware.
All our AMRs are compliant with IEC 62443-3-3 for Cybersecurity.

aftercare
FlexDrive AMRs are supported by FlexCare, our three-tier service model designed to meet your specific operational needs. Each tier provides a different level of cover to keep AMRs running smoothly and reduce downtime.
For non-critical environments, this tier includes call-back and email support.
Designed for production-dependent operations, it aids live support, annual servicing and a guaranteed 48-hour on-site response for issues.
Built for 24/7 workflows, this highest tier offers round-the-clock support, sub-four-hour response, on-site repairs and replacement units if required.

faqs
What are Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)?
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are a self-navigating robotic system designed to transport materials within a facility without needing fixed infrastructure like magnetic strips, tracks, or guide wires. Using onboard sensors, mapping software, and obstacle detection and avoidance, AMRs understand their environment, make real-time decisions, and can dynamically adjust their routes.
How do AMRs differ from AGVs?
AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) differ from AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) in how they move and respond to their environment.
Whilst AGVs follow fixed routes using magnetic tapes, cores, or wires, AMRs navigate freely using onboard sensors and real time mapping. This allows AMRs to avoid obstacles, adapt to layout changes, and operate in dynamic, collaborative human environments.
Unlike AGVs, which stop when their path is blocked, AMRs can reroute themselves automatically. FlexDrive AMRs although are technically AMRs, with the modular approach we have taken to allow you to completely customise your vehicle each FlexDrive AMR can be configured as an AGV with traditional tape navigation or data matrix codes.

What types of environments are FlexDrive AMRs suitable for?
FlexDrive AMRs are suitable for use in warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities. They work well in spaces that already have people, equipment, and changing layouts, adapting to the environment without needing fixed paths or major infrastructure changes.
What Flex Care support options are available for FlexDrive AMRs?
FlexDrive AMRs are supported by three levels of aftercare support. We provide remote support and resources for simple problem resolutions, on-site servicing, or full 24/7 cover with fast repairs and replacements.
How quickly can a FlexDrive AMR be deployed?
FlexDrive AMRs can be deployed in a short time frame. Through our rigorous project deployment process, pre validation and testing ensure when FlexDrive AMRs and their applications arrive on site with minimal setup they are ready to work.
You as the end user are key to every deployment, so regular communication and collaboration is maintained to ensure we meet your requirements and expectations. Through our ability to simulate all our deployments we reduce the set-up time on site.
What industries are FlexDrive AMRs suitable for?
FlexDrive AMRs can operate in many industries from Automotive, Intralogistics, Material handling, MedTech and more. They fulfil many roles within each sector, from intralogistics, material or product handling to dynamic mobile platforms down an assembly line or process.
