Omron MobilePlanner Tablet Edition mobile robot control

Omron has released a tablet edition of its MobilePlanner control centre software for mobile robots. The MobilePlanner Tablet Edition is an easy-to-use, portable, monitoring and control user interface tool for LD mobile robots. It is designed for viewing and controlling the robot fleet from a mobile device or tablet.

Available by downloading a free app, the MobilePlanner Tablet Edition now makes it easier to track and trace mobile robots on the factory floor. With the new software, users can connect to Enterprise Manager and view the status of all robots in the fleet.

They can also manually drive robots or initiate a map-making process to determine a specific route.

With the MobilePlanner Tablet Edition users can view robots’ coordinates, their laser readings and job counts in a job queue, and show status alerts. Battery levels and travel speed can also be checked, and the robots can be sent to a dock or to other points on the floorplan map.

The Tablet Edition is available in iOS and Android versions.

Omron also offers the MobilePlanner in a PC edition which provides full configuration and control capabilities for Omron LD mobile robots, as well as Enterprise Manager with map editing and job administrations.
