BlueBotics and ProLog Automation signed a strategic partnership to drive automated guided vehicle (AGV) adoption across manufacturing and logistics in Germany. Under the agreement, ProLog will act as BlueBotics solutions partner for the German market.
BlueBotics engineers will train ProLog’s AGV consulting and integration teams on BlueBotics’ autonomous navigation technology (ANT), a predominantly software-based platform for building scalable and interoperable fleets of diverse ANT-drive AGVs.
“This collaboration is a perfect alignment, combining our team’s deep industry knowledge with ANT, which is clearly today’s leading AGV navigation platform,” said Marco Bernstein, head of partner management at ProLog Automation. “Having an internal team of ANT experts here at ProLog, and working closely with BlueBotics and its vehicle partners, will mean we can help more German businesses benefit from the efficiency and productivity benefits that mobile robots can bring.”
To date, more than 4,000 ANT-driven AGVs operate worldwide. The company’s autonomous navigation technology works with AGVs, automated forklifts and mobile robots. BlueBotics is also the creator of an educational resource that helps professionals explore how mobile robotics can help business.
“This partnership is exciting news for BlueBotics. Germany is the most developed market for industrial and mobile robotics in Europe, and ProLog Automation has been a key component of that growth,” said Dr. Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics. “Together we will enable more German businesses to reap the flexibility and robustness benefits that ANT technology—and our partners’ ANT-driven vehicles—can bring, meaning more successful German AGV projects and more competitive German businesses in these challenging times.”
