and operators to work more efficiently, resolve issues faster, and
ensure rapid deployment.
"By integrating both physical and virtual AI agents into our Ope-
rations Copilot, we're unlocking a new dimension of interaction
between humans, robotics, and AI," said Rainer Brehm, CEO of
Factory Automation at Siemens. "This enables our customers to
deploy autonomous transport systems more quickly, operate
them efficiently, and enhance safety - bringing us one step closer
to a fully autonomous factory."
New Safe Velocity software enhances safety on the shop floor
AGVs are equipped with navigation and sensor technologies,
that allow them to move safely and reliably through production
and intralogistics environments - with no direct human interventi-
on. When people or objects appear in their path, AGVs automa-
tically slow down, stop, or navigate around these obstacles. Sie-
mens' new software solution, Safe Velocity, enables the fail-safe
monitoring of vehicle speed, which permits the protective fields
of safety laser scanners to be dynamically adjusted in real time.
The TÜV-certified software is compatible with the hardware and
software from a variety of AGV manufacturers and enhances exis-
ting safety systems to meet stringent industrial safety standards.
Safe Velocity reduces the need for additional safety hardware.
This simplifies system architecture, saves valuable vehicle space,
lowers engineering complexity, and minimizes cabling require-
ments - without compromising functional safety.
In the future, the Operations Copilot will interact with AI agents
such as Safe Velocity to analyze targeted data from safety laser
scanners and monitor the speed of AGVs. The virtual Safe Velo-
city agent supervises autonomous vehicles and can cooperate
with other agents designed for AGV and AMR applications. This
way, Siemens is building a multi-agent system where the Opera-
tions Copilot orchestrates both physical and virtual AI agents,
enabling seamless interactions and deeper integration between
the real and the digital worlds. p
