BlueBotics ANT

BlueBotics Autonomous Navigation Technology (ANT) is a navigation and fleet-management technology suite for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots, and automated forklifts. ANT uses laser-scanner data and permanent facility features to localize vehicles and guide them along virtual routes.

• Natural-feature navigation: Localizes vehicles by matching laser-scanner data to permanent features such as walls, pillars, and machinery.
• Vehicle control: Supports route execution, vehicle kinematics, obstacle avoidance options, embedded mission control, and forklift control.
• Fleet orchestration: ANT server provides fleet management, mission scheduling, traffic control, battery-charge management, and system monitoring.
• Multi-brand fleets: Supports fleet management across different vehicle types and brands.
• Enterprise integration: Connects fleet operations with warehouse management systems (WMS), manufacturing execution systems (MES), and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems through APIs.
• Configuration and simulation: ANT lab supports map creation, route and action configuration, and mission simulation.

• Audience: AGV and AMR manufacturers, systems integrators, automation engineers, and industrial facility operators.
• Use Case: Deploying and coordinating fleets of automated vehicles for material transport, pallet handling, and intralogistics workflows in warehouses and manufacturing sites.
