Chapter 9: Options
The LD Platform Cart Transporter is available with a number of options to enhance its per-
formance and abilities.
Enterprise Manager
The Enterprise Manager manages a fleet of AMRs, for multi-AMR coordination and job man-
agement. It includes the Enterprise Manager appliance running the Mobile Software suite.
It is covered in the
Enterprise Manager user`s guide
.
MobilePlanner Software (licensed)
In order to have your LD Platform Cart Transporter perform autonomous mobile activities, you
need to make a map of its operating space, and configure its operating parameters. The
MobilePlanner software is used to make this map and perform this configuration.
Refer to the separate
FLOW Core User's Guide
for details on how to map a working space and
prepare the virtual elements, goals, routes, and tasks for your application.
The MobilePlanner software requires a license to run. You need at least one MobilePlanner
license for each fleet of AMRs. Once a map is generated, it can be shared with multiple AMRs
working in the same space.
Joystick
This is mainly used to drive the platform when doing a scan, in preparation for making a
map of the workspace. You need at least one joystick for each fleet of AMRs. Once a map is
generated, it can be shared with multiple AMRs working in the same space.
Spare Battery
At least one spare battery is needed if you opt to swap the platform’s battery, rather than hav-
ing it charge itself at a docking station. See Manually Charging the Battery on page 138.
Spare Carts
Extra carts can be ordered, because a cart installation can use more carts than transporters.
The part number is 75020-000.
The following options are documented in the LD Platform Peripherals
Guide.
Call Buttons/Door Boxes
Call buttons are used to issue a request for an AMR to go to the goal associated with the but-
ton. There may be multiple call buttons, even in an installation where there is only one trans-
porter.
Door Boxes are used to open an automated door, so the AMR can pass through.
