Chapter 1: Introduction
l
Help optimize traffic flow by sharing each robot's position and trajectory with other
robots in its vicinity.
This allows each robot to make path adjustments to avoid potential conflicts.
l
Save wireless bandwidth.
Each robot only sends and receives information from the Adept SmartFleet EX appli-
ance, rather than needing information from each individual robot. This leaves valuable
WiFi space for other devices.
l
Serve as a proxy for robot data, such as location, battery state, and job status.
As a result, not only does this save wireless bandwidth, it also allows all of the robots
in a fleet to connect to one central point, allowing an operator to monitor all the robots
from a single application.
l
Run robustly without human intervention.
The Adept SmartFleet EX is an appliance, not a server, therefore it does not need main-
tenance from IT staff. It can handle power outages without a loss, it is solely dedicated
to the task and won't be affected by other services, and, if something happens to the
appliance, it can be replaced and the new one will operate identically, once the con-
figuration is re-created on the new appliance.
