Third Wave Automation has introduced Armada Fleet Management System (FMS), the central interface for the company’s Shared Autonomy Platform. It enables a single operator to safely and effectively manage multiple TWA Reach and TWA Extended Reach forklifts simultaneously.
Operators can execute and monitor workflows, and configure warehouse zones dynamically, all while integrating with other warehouse management systems.
The Shared Autonomy Platform comprises the TWA Reach line of forklifts, which operate in four modes: fully autonomous, remote assist, remote operation and traditional manual operation.
Robotic high-reach forklifts can be operated in various modes, supported by Shared Autonomy Platform. The platform handles new and unique workflows and various racking configurations to address any challenges the forklifts encounter.
Using obstacle detection systems, including lidar and camera feeds on the robotic forklifts, remote operators can gain insights into the location of potential obstacles, even those not visible to the naked eye; navigate around them; and get a better view of target pick and place locations than manual operators.
Armada provides tools like on-the-fly region block, task prioritization and schedule management, which enable supervisors to respond to real-time changes in the warehouse environment.
