Kollmorgen: Warehouse Efficiency with NDC Flex

Kollmorgen, renowned for its leadership in automated guided vehicle (AGV) technology, has set the industry standard for scalable automation solutions in manufacturing and logistics facilities for decades. Their commitment to enhancing system efficiency and throughput globally is now reinforced with an expanded portfolio. Drawing on their extensive industry knowledge, Kollmorgen introduces NDC Flex, a versatile automation solution tailored for dynamic environments.

Introducing NDC Flex

Kollmorgen’s NDC Flex represents a pioneering system that combines the efficiency of AGVs with the flexibility of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This innovative blend guarantees maximum site productivity while minimizing the impact of potential disruptions. Whether partners encounter logistical challenges or seek operational optimization, Kollmorgen’s NDC Flex is engineered to cater to their requirements effectively.

Quick Commissioning Cirrus is a cloud-based solution enabling efficient collaboration between employees stationed on-site and employees located in the office. Cirrus simplifies tuning and verification of layouts during commissioning, which significantly reduces setup time and accelerates deployment.

Obstacle Avoidance NDC Flex vehicles are equipped with obstacle avoidance technology. This capability supports uninterrupted operation by allowing the vehicle to maneuver around unexpected objects and seamlessly continue along its designated path.

Dynamic Load Docking With the integration of U-Zone’s Dynamic Docking, NDC Flex vehicles can adjust their paths dynamically during the ‘last mile’ of their journey. The vehicle adjusts to the real-world load position, ensuring maximal system throughput.

Natural Navigation Kollmorgen-based vehicles include natural navigation capabilities. Kollmorgen’s comprehensive training and established best practices, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solution, and improved configuration ensure sustained, high performance over time.

End-User Flexibility NDC Flex empowers end-users to modify the layout themselves using the Cirrus tool. Cirrus enables system providers to easily synchronize and validate these end-user changes, simplifying collaboration without sacrificing performance or quality.

With more than 50 years of expertise, Kollmorgen recognizes the distinct needs and preferences of every warehouse. Whether your project demands a reliable system for high throughput or a versatile solution suited to dynamic environments, Kollmorgen offers the technology to significantly enhance warehouse efficiency. NDC Flex is accessible exclusively through their trusted global network of partners.
