Top 5 Benefits of Meili FMS

 

As you may have noticed, at Meili Robots, we provide a solution for the lack of interoperability in the robotics industry — an issue that needs to be addressed sooner than later to avoid market stagnation. With the mobile robot market growing without showing any signs of slowing down, it is expected that businesses such as warehouses, logistics centres, and manufacturing facilities will continue to diversify their robot fleets more and more. And, for that, interoperability is an absolute necessity.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Why interoperable fleets are key for the future of robotics?

There are two major challenges driving the need for interoperability in the robotics industry:

  • The increasing demand for mobile robots
  • The ongoing specialisation of mobile robots
  • If you are curious to learn more about these challenges and how they are transforming the robotics industry, I’d highly recommend giving our Interoperability report a read!

    With our universal fleet management system Meili FMS, we help mobile robot users to get the most out of their fleet, while also offering an interfleet solution for forward-thinking vendors. Here’s how:

    1. OEM Independency

    Central to the importance of interoperable fleets is the ability for robot users to diversify their portfolio of mobile robots. As mentioned above, mobile robots are becoming more specialised in their use cases day by day, which makes it nearly impossible for robot users to stick to a single manufacturer. With Meili FMS, you are no longer dependent on a specific OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) or robot vendor. Instead, our universal fleet management system allows you to add any mobile robot of your choice to your fleet. 

    2. Cost Effectiveness

    Not only will you be able to benefit from more efficient fleet management and thus more efficient and profitable operations, but Meili FMS also holds an advantage over OEMs when it comes to pricing. Meili FMS comes as a flexible, agile, and scalable solution with pricing plans designed specifically for your needs and requirements. Through our licence, you do not only get lower prices than you would from OEMs, but you also allow yourself to increase your revenue opportunities.

    3. Future Readiness

    With Meili FMS allowing you to add an extensive variety of mobile robots to your fleet, you automatically ensure the future readiness of your business. With interoperability not standing in the way of diversifying your fleet, you can easily scale and grow your business without needing to worry about adjusting your decisions to whether or not you can add certain types of robots to your facility. By preparing your systems for future growth and scalability, you will be able to reap the benefits in the long run rather than standing in the way of your own growth.

    4. One Central Platform

    Another key benefit of our universal fleet management system Meili FMS is its ability to add entire robot fleets onto one single platform — regardless of what types or brands of robots are part of your fleet. Instead of having to go through each OEM’s individual operating system, you can now add all of them to Meili FMS and gain full control over your entire mobile robot fleet without needing to constantly shift between separate systems from OEMs. In fact, managing the fleet through our FMS requires zero training thanks to intuitive and straightforward UI. In addition, Meili FMS also collects real-time data of the entire fleet, which can be of tremendous help when it comes to decision making.

    5. Third-Party Integration

    To further support the diversification of mobile robot fleets, Meili FMS is purposely built to be seamlessly integrated with third-party systems. Not only does this allow you to set up the FMS in as little as 30 seconds, but it also ensures that all of your operations and other systems will be able to run hand in hand with Meili FMS. Even though key features such as traffic control, task allocation, and path planning are powerful tools on their own, they can thus also be a great addition to your existing systems.


    In addition to the above, we also offer an interfleet solution to robot vendors — helping companies move beyond interoperability issues and building a bridge between different technologies. For example, Meili FMS can be seamlessly integrated with a vendor’s own FMS, or even their client’s current warehouse management system (WMS). If you are a robot vendor and are curious to learn more about how we could work together, please feel free to read more about how our solution can benefit you here.
