A high volume increases the solution’s effectiveness, so Block storage is ideal for applications with large quantities of the same article.
With long-time experience, we know the possibilities and limitations of block storage, and we want to help you achieve the best benefits from it for your organisation. Please reach out to us to hear more.

Conveyor Pick-up/Drop-off
-
Conveyors are often used to move goods between processes and to and from warehouses. Interfacing with conveyors is common for Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe’s AGVs.
Conveyors are a convenient method of moving goods from production to warehouse or from warehouse to production or shipment. AGVs operate with conveyors the same way as manual forklifts do. AGVs and conveyors interact safely by using I/O signals to negotiate when an AGV is allowed to enter a conveyor.

FleetController – Next generation software for AGVs
-
Combining efficiency with ease of use, FleetController is a system software solution for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). It connects with your WMS (Warehouse Management System), and keeps the fleet running by automatically optimising the orders and routes of your material flow. With Dashboard, the graphic user interface, you can monitor, manage and maintain your AGV fleet.
Flexible platform, easy integrationFleetController offers one platform that connects all components needed to run and manage efficient AGV operations. It integrates with the warehouse management system and manages the intra-logistic transports.
As a fully automated system, it will run on its own. A set of optimisation algorithms ensure that you get the maximum capacity out of your fleet. Through continuous optimisation, the orders and routes are being computed for fluent, efficient traffic flow at all times.
Warehouse Management System
-
Use your facility’s own warehouse management system, acquire one from Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe, or use a third-party one, subject to agreement. Its central purpose is to know where the goods are and where they are heading. The Logisnext FleetController software works seamlessly with it to manage the automated guided vehicle (AGV) fleet.
If your logistics facility already has a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that tells you where your goods are and where they are travelling, you can integrate it with FleetController software from Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe. Depending on the specifications of your WMS, various degrees of integration work may be needed to ensure complete compatibility with FleetController. That is a process we’ll be happy to guide you through so you can continue to use your WMS to both have an overview of goods movements and to communicate with your fleet of automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
User Interface
-
FleetController comes with a Dashboard, a novel browser-based tool for monitoring, optimizing, and managing automated guided vehicle (AGV) operations. Ideally, the AGV fleet manages itself. However, should the need arise, the Dashboard is only one browser-window away.
Dashboard offers a window into the operations of the AGV system at any time, combining the monitoring data into a unified and intuitive user interface. Dashboard is designed for factory and warehouse operators who manage the AGV system and need information about the automated intra logistics process at a glance. Dashboard delivers real-time data of the fleet operations. It is meant for users requiring visual insight into vehicle locations and movement. This browser-based tool can be accessed on any standard workstation. Dashboard displays both transport and fleet operational history, as an optional feature. With logged data, operators can easily monitor fleet movements, tasks and KPIs, such as the number of transports completed. The system also automatically flags incidents of interest for later inspection.
Integration
-
With the FleetController architecture, integration is agile and straightforward. This means savings of time and money in system implementation and modernization. We operate using a REST interface between the Warehouse Management System and FleetController – a well-known, established way to connect two systems.
FleetController is explicitly designed for our AGVs. Many tasks that have traditionally been managed in the Warehouse Management System or by third party controllers can be managed in FleetController. This allows light integration with the warehouse management, saving system implementation and maintenance costs.
FleetController comes with a REST Application Programming Interface. The standard interface is much easier to use than proprietary technologies. This means lighter integration with the Warehouse Management System, as less work is needed.
Optimization
-
Logisnext Solutions software is the key to optimal automation. Combining efficiency with ease of use, FleetController Suite is a software solution for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). It connects with your WMS (Warehouse Management System) and keeps the fleet running by automatically optimising the routes and orders for maximum fleet capacity. This facilitates high-throughput material flow.
A large logistics facility may have dozens of AGVs operating simultaneously. While AGVs operate autonomously, something further is needed to ensure that the entire facility operates logically and with the best exploitation of all resources. This is where the FleetController’s optimisation comes in.
FleetController Suite comes with proprietary optimisation logic that scales automatically to material flow demands. Designed and developed in-house, its algorithms are based on decades of experience in automation.

Life Cycle Services ensure that the solutions you are using can adapt to the necessities of current technologies, help you prevent unnecessary costs caused by the ageing of the components, and maximise the equipment and system reliability. The solution support management system consists of three phases: Active, Limited, and, if the solution has come to the end of its lifespan, Discontinued.
In the Active phase, the solution benefits from MLE’s Full Support, including maintenance and repair, spare parts and system know-how. The solution service lifetime is extended by periodic or condition-based software updates/upgrades and hardware updates, and AGVs run using the latest technology with maximum reliability.
In the Limited phase, MLE can support the solutions, including maintenance and repair, spare parts and system know-how if the resources, including components, are available. Additionally, during the Limited phase, increasing maintenance costs caused by ageing technology can be avoided by custom-made modernisation packages, including hardware and software upgrades.
After the solution reaches the Discontinued phase, the availability of services cannot be guaranteed. However, MLE can provide technical expertise on the best replacement according to the customer and industry needs.
