Advantech's rugged hardware is now integrated with MOV.AI's Robotics Engine AI platform, simplifying development and deployment of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for business.

Advantech announces a new partnership with MOV.AI to streamline creation of AMRs by giving robot manufacturers and integrators access to both advanced industrial computing technology and a powerful software platform for intelligent robot building, deployment and operation.

The collaboration provides a solution to meet growing needs for faster ROI, flexibility, efficiency and productivity gains in manufacturing and logistics.

“Advantech is excited to partner with MOV.AI, and we look forward to being able to provide a state-of-the-art AGV/AMR solution to the robotics segment globally,” said David Jen, Deputy Group Vice President of Advantech's Industrial IoT Group. “A key aspect of our collaboration is to ensure ecosystem interoperability of AMR offerings and provide more comprehensive solutions to our customers.”

MOV.AI’s ROS-based Robotics Engine AI platform gives AMR manufacturers and automation integrators the enterprise-grade software and tools required for advanced automation including navigation, localization and calibration. This includes a ROS-based visual IDE, ready algorithms and integrations, fleet management, warehouse system flexibility, and cybersecurity compliance.

Advantech offers advanced computers optimized for compute performance, functionality and easy deployment. Equipped with the latest Intel processors, they deliver maximum flexibility and efficiency across verticals like automation, manufacturing, logistics, retail and transportation.

One example is the UNO-238 V2, a compact IoT edge computer powered by 12th Gen Intel Core i and DDR5 SODIMM for high-speed multitasking and data transfer. It inherits its predecessor’s compact form factor and optimized I/O design ideal for most factory settings. Rugged, fanless construction suits challenging industrial environments.

Wide -20 to 60°C operating temperatures ensure durability. Terminal block compatibility enables excellent wiring flexibility. It also features CANBus and M.2 B/M/E key support for storage, data and wireless. This allows seamless real-time data exchange between edge devices and the cloud. UNO-238 V2 is a reliable solution for the AGV/AMR industry.

Advantech and MOV.AI accelerate the time-to-value for service providers and manufacturers to implement the most efficient AMR solutions for diverse applications. Advantech contributes hardware design and manufacturing expertise, while MOV.AI provides ROS-based software experience. Their collaboration speeds AMR deployment for faster, more effective automation.
