DRIVEN BY CUSTOMER VISION
A Shared Commitment to Seamless Automation
NAiSE and IDEC have joined forces to strengthen interoperability in the world of industrial automation. Combining NAiSE’s intralogistics expertise with IDEC’s modular AGV technologies, this compatibility focuses on simplifying integration, improving operational transparency, and delivering flexible automation solutions that align with customers’ evolving production needs.
Together, both companies are setting a new standard for interoperable, future-ready intralogistics systems—empowering manufacturers to manage diverse fleets and processes through a unified digital platform.
Seamless Compatibility for Modular AGVs
In a bustling automotive production plant in France, a manufacturer faced the challenge of managing a diverse fleet of mobile robots through a single, centralized system. While the NAiSE Intralogistics Platform already supported multiple robot brands, this project required full compatibility with the modular AGV solutions developed by ez-Way®, the Smart Mobility Solutions branch of IDEC.
By integrating ez-Way® software, IDEC AGV devices, and the NAiSE Intralogistics Platform, companies now benefit from complete interoperability across automated systems, optimized material flow, and streamlined operational efficiency.
Bridging Modular Automation with Intelligent Fleet Management
The collaboration between NAiSE and IDEC combines modular AGV innovation with manufacturer-independent intralogistics management. By integrating IDEC’s AGV toolkit—including SE2L safety laser scanners, SWD® Safety Wheel Drive, and ez-Way® navigation software—into NAiSE’s platform, organizations gain:
- Flexibility to deploy AGVs, AMRs, and AGCs across the plant
- Full operational oversight of diverse fleets
- VDA 5050-compliant interoperability for future-proof integration
- Smooth coordination, monitoring, and task management across automated systems
This combination allows manufacturers to rapidly develop and deploy custom mobile robots, while NAiSE ensures efficient fleet management, traffic control, and intelligent order assignment.
Expanding Horizons: entering the French market and beyond
This compatibility milestone strengthens NAiSE’s presence in France and expands IDEC’s global reach, offering customers a fully integrated ecosystem. Companies can now simplify automation strategies, reduce system fragmentation, and scale intralogistics operations with confidence.
ez-Way®: Navigation Software for custom Mobile Robots
The ez-Way® software solution is designed for controlling and navigating mobile robots, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. Installed on each machine, it guarantees operational functioning, robot localization, navigation, and mission execution. As an accelerator for the development of your mobile robots, ez-Way® streamlines deployment and enhances robot capabilities. The ez-Way’s open architecture allows adding custom software features and easy interconnection to industrial PLC. Beyond navigation functions and mission management, the software also enables interfacing with a Fleet Management System via the VDA5050 API.
Experts’ Perspective:
“It’s incredibly clear, the combination of the NAiSE Intralogistics Platform with our ez-Way® navigation software enhances the modularity and flexibility of our AGV offering. This is truly the perfect global combination to address complex mobile automation fleets for system integrators and end users alike!”
