With EVOorchestration, EVO Informationssysteme GmbH has developed a powerful software solution for the automated generation, recording, and control of transport tasks for mobile robots over several years. For a client, the first mobile robot project has now been successfully implemented – a milestone in intelligent production logistics for the EVO digitalization platform.
The new solution enables the complete automation of transport tasks between machines, storage, and assembly areas. In this process, EVOorchestration plays a central role in the process chain: the software automatically creates and distributes transport orders – both to autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from various manufacturers and to employees in the facility.
“With EVOorchestration, we are taking in-house logistics to the next level of digitalization,” explains Jürgen Widmann, Managing Director of EVO Informationssysteme GmbH. “Our solution connects people, machines, and robots – regardless of the manufacturer – ensuring a seamless material flow throughout the entire production environment.”
To present the successful implementation to a larger audience, the initial commissioning took place in the demo factory Smart Factory in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The software EVOorchestration communicates with different fleet managers via established standards such as VDA 5050 and can thus control robots from various manufacturers in hybrid operation in parallel. This openness allows for flexible expansion of existing systems. At the same time, the software can be linked with the ERP or PPS system to take over the overarching process control.
The use of the control system enables quick and easy integration of mobile robots into intralogistics. With the MES system EVOperformance, machines can be monitored in real-time and transport orders can be automatically triggered based on production progress. This ensures autonomous supply of machines and workstations even during late and night shifts – a crucial advantage for unmanned operations in modern manufacturing environments.
The application possibilities of EVOorchestration are diverse: from material supply to parts transport to the provision of tools or the automated disposal of chips. Visitors to the workshop “Digitalized Operational Organization” on November 5, 2025, in Schwäbisch Gmünd were able to witness the capabilities of the system during a live demonstration.
The successful implementation impressively shows: EVO continues to drive automation and digitalization in production further with new ideas and concepts – and already delivers the solutions that will make the digital factory of tomorrow a reality.
