OVERVIEW

The Medium Drive Platform is a highly versatile, fully modular Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) designed to adapt to a widerange of operating environments, with over 50 possible configurations available. The platform is fully omnidirectional, providing precise and flexible manoeuvrability, and can be configured with payload capacities of 1000 kg, 1750 kg, or 2500kg. It offers a maximum speed of up to 1.2 m/s, depending on the payload and configuration.

A broad selection of navigation technologies can be integrated into the vehicle, including free navigation, free path planning, obstacle avoidance, magnetic tape and core guidance, and data matrix tape and code navigation. Thanks to its modular design, the Medium DrivePlatform can be fully customised and seamlessly integrated into existing production environments, making it a scalable and future-ready automation solution.

siemens simove

Our Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are built on Siemens SIMOVE, utilising an open PLC architecture, standard industrial components, and deliberately avoiding conventional black‑box control systems. AMR fleets can be operated independently as stand-alone systems or controlled via SIMOVE Master Control, a PLC-based system that uses PROFINET / PROFIsafe and is fully integratable into existing automated environments.

Alternatively, fleet control can be managed through SIMOVE Fleet Manager, an IT‑based, VDA 5050‑compliant system that enables integration with third‑party AGVs and AMRs. Our AMRs can be fully integrated into existing wireless infrastructures and seamlessly connected to MES and ERP systems, ensuring smooth communication and efficient operation across the wider production environment.

    why choose flexdrive AMR?

    Group 52

    You Control Your System

    Our AMRs are built with a standard Siemens controller, not a proprietary ‘black box.’
    This puts the power in your hands, allowing you to change routes and update tasks whenever you need to.

    Built to 
Your Exact Specifications

    We configure every AMR to your exact needs, you choose the specific application, payload and navigation. You get the perfect tool for your process without paying for any over-specified or unnecessary hardware.
    Group481

    A Complete, Ready-to-Work Solution

    A mobile robot is only half the solution. Our engineers design and build the custom lifter, conveyor, or tooling you need in-house, delivering a complete, ready-to-work system from a single, accountable supplier.

    Proven Before It Arrives

    We digitally build and test your entire AMR fleet in a simulation of your facility. This approach guarantees performance and solves problems before they happen, ensuring your on-site deployment is fast, predictable, and disruption-free.

    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.

    Group 7

    For non-critical environments, this tier provides expert troubleshooting via call-back and email support, right when you need it.

    Group 9

    When your production depends on your fleet, this plan provides live support and an annual service. We also guarantee a technician will be on-site within 48 hours if you ever need a repair.

    Group 8

    For operations that run 24/7, this plan provides round-the-clock support. We guarantee a response in under four hours for critical issues, with on-site repairs and replacement units.

    The Medium Drive Platform can be precisely configured for your workflow’s needs with maximum payload options of 1000kg, 1750kg, and 2500kg. This includes the weight of the custom application and tooling.
    Yes. The Medium Drive Platform can be configured for uni-directional, bi-directional, and fully omni-directional movement with either magnetic tape or free navigation. This allows it to perform complex manoeuvres in tight spaces, offering maximum flexibility.
    Our modular approach means you only pay for the capacity you need. For example, choosing a 1000kg payload configuration instead of 1750kg can reduce the vehicle’s cost by around £9,000. This ensures you get a clear and rapid return on investment.
    The Medium Drive Platform is our most configurable base, offering over 50 distinct configurations. We work with you to select the precise combination of application, payload, and navigation technology to create the perfect vehicle for your process.
    It is designed for seamless fleet integration. Using the industry-standard VDA5050 protocol, it works with our SIMOVE Master Control for fleets of up to 50 vehicles, or the SIMOVE Fleet Manager for operations with over 100 AMRs.
