Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) launches MiR Fleet Enterprise —a scalable, flexible and secure fleet management software platform. This new software is designed to optimize overall material handling workflows to boost productivity. This latest release enhances its ability to deliver a full solution for advanced AMR hardware, sophisticated capabilities such as traffic management, and streamlined deployment processes, addressing the complex needs of enterprise-level customers seeking end-to-end solutions.
“Software is a crucial differentiator for AMR brands, so we’ve rebuilt our fleet management platform from the ground up to set a new benchmark for the industry,” says Jean-Pierre Hathout, president of MiR. “MiR Fleet Enterprise is not just an upgrade, though. As part of our scaling strategy, we have transitioned from a polling-based API to a more efficient publish-subscribe model, enabling more responsive and streamlined data exchanges across systems for increased system performance. At the same time, it provides a solid, cyber-secured foundation for years to come, offering modularity and forward-looking features that will continuously evolve with customer needs and technological advancements. This new approach ensures that our customers’ fleet of AMRs are always at the forefront of usability and innovation.”
Key Takeaways:
- MiR Fleet Enterprise marks a shift from traditional, proprietary fleet management systems. Built to run on Windows Servers and supporting various virtualization strategies, the software is compatible with modern IT infrastructures and cloud environments, facilitating easier deployment and integration. Key features include:
- Enhanced Cybersecurity: The software features advanced cybersecurity measures such as single sign-on, audit logging and an improved user permission system, designed for IEC 62443 Part 4-2 (SL-C 3) to provide strong protection against evolving cyber threats. Its proactive approach to cybersecurity ensures that customers can confidently integrate and scale their AMR systems without compromising IT security.
- Flexible Configuration: Customers gain complete control over the software configuration, enabling easy customization and updates aligned with their IT management strategies. This flexibility supports rapid adaptation to even the most challenging operational needs.
- Efficient Scalability: Designed to accommodate growing fleets and complex integrations, MiR Fleet Enterprise streamlines communication between management software and individual AMRs. Optimizing data exchange reduces network load and enhances operational efficiency, even with fleets of 100+ units.
