Bridging Robots and Machines with Intelligence

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), also known as AGVs or IMRs are changing the way materials move through factories—but successful implementation requires more than just robots. At Innovative Automation, we design full systems that integrate AMRs into your production environment with the intelligence and precision needed to deliver real value.

Whether you’re introducing a single robot or scaling up to a fleet, we engineer reliable, plant-ready solutions that work with your equipment, processes, and constraints.

INTEGRATION Without Limits

We work with all major AMR platforms—including MiR and ABB—giving you the freedom to choose the robot that fits your operation. Because we’re brand-agnostic, our focus stays on performance, not product loyalty.

Our real value comes in how we bring everything together. Instead of relying solely on vendor fleet managers or adding layers of logic to your PLCs, we deploy our own Ignition-based middleware—a robust, visual interface that connects your AMRs directly to the factory floor.

With our integration approach, you can:

  • Connect any AMR fleet to any machine—PLC, CNC, PC-based or otherwise
  • Edit, schedule, or cancel missions in real time
  • Prioritize deliveries dynamically based on production demand
  • View live robot routes and status from a centralized dashboard
  • Enable machine-to-AMR communication wirelessly, without needing new hardware

This middleware fills the critical gap that most AMR software can’t—

Our Middleware

The Missing Link

Our Ignition-based middleware acts as a real-time communication hub between AMRs and your plant floor systems. It allows for advanced mission logic, real-time tracking, status updates, and communication with machines—all without installing new PLCs.

From a central dashboard, you can monitor active routes, and prioritize tasks as production demands change. It’s a smarter way to manage autonomous logistics—giving you full visibility and control from day one.

Built for the Factory Floor

We bring more than software expertise. With more then 60,000 sq. ft. of build space and a seasoned team of automation engineers, we also build the physical systems AMRs need to operate safely and effectively.

Our team handles everything from docking station design to load presentation, machine communication, and safety systems. We understand what it takes to connect mobile robots to conveyors, wrappers, CNCs, and production lines—without disrupting your workflow.

To reduce risk, we also offer live simulations and in-house testing. This gives you a clear picture of fleet size, travel efficiency, and integration points before anything is installed on-site.

Why Customers Choose Us

Our success with AMR deployments comes from our full-system perspective. We’re not just a robotics integrator or a controls house—we’re both. That means we can see and solve the problems others miss.

Customers trust us because we:

R

Work across AMR brands with proven flexibility

R

Design both the software layer and physical infrastructure

R

Eliminate the need for additional PLCs or custom machine logic

R

Validate systems in-house before commissioning

R

Deliver solutions that scale with production—not just pilots
