Safe AGV/AMR Monitor

… faster time to market through MESCO Design Packages!

The Safe AGV/AMR Monitor Design Package Design Package forms the basis for the HW/SW development of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) with safety functions.

MESCO accompanies manufacturers of AGV/AMR as well as component manufacturers from the beginning of their safety project to market launch and safety-relevant certification.

In the field of AGV/AMR there are special functional safety requirements according to IEC61508, ISO13849 or ISO 3691-4, such as safe stop during loading, emergency stop, safe brake, safe speed, safe load handling, person detection, interfaces to higher-level safety controls, safe data processing, safe I/O, etc.

The MESCO Design Package Safe AGV/AMR Monitor enables customer specific hardware and software development, shorter time-to-market by using proven HW/SW libraries and a certified safety process.

Technical description

The Safe AGV/AMR Monitor Design Package significantly reduces development time for safety-related AGV/AMR systems. It is available as a hardware/software design package with circuit diagrams and software libraries for a fully customized design.
