Kollmorgen’s main focus on maximising system efficiency and throughput for customers all over the world has been strengthened by a portfolio expansion. Kollmorgen has developed NDC Flex, a flexible automation solution for dynamic contexts, based on their extensive industrial experience.
Introducing NDC Flex
Kollmorgen’s NDC Flex is a groundbreaking system that merges the efficiency of AGVs with the adaptability of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). This hybrid approach ensures peak site productivity while mitigating risks related to potential disruptions. Whether partners are facing a specific logistic challenge or aiming to optimize their operations, Kollmorgen’s NDC Flex is designed to meet their needs.
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 over 50 years of experience, Kollmorgen understands that every warehouse has its own unique requirements and preferences. Whether projects require a predictable system with maximum throughout or a flexible system for dynamic environments, Kollmorgen can supply the technology needed to dramatically boost your warehouse efficiency. NDC Flex is exclusively available through their trusted global partner network.
