…in the works As the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) begins to adopt Version 1.0, MassRobotics and its partners are working on Version 2.0, which came out of an Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute project led by Siemens and FedEx, Theobald noted. Version 2.0 establishes a mission communication application programming interface (API). It is intended to prevent too many robots from trying to use a single optimized route at the same time. Other features are left to fleet management software, said the panelists. After years of talk about the need to manage heterogeneous fleets, why are standards efforts moving…

…just on administrative controls. TÜV Rhineland certified Veo for ISO compliance.” The FreeMove software still runs on fail-safe hardware, providing manufacturers dynamic speed and separation monitoring to automatically stop a robot when human co-workers move closer to the robot during operation. This lets manufacturing teams prioritize safety and productivity without sacrificing one for the other, the company claimed. “We had to build our own hardware,” Sobalvarro explained. “It includes two server-class Intel motherboards with dual Xeon processors. All safety outputs have to fail over to the right positions, and we follow a dual-channel approach throughout.” “We’ve always believed our advanced…
