SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools)

Every factory floor that hosts autonomous vehicles is, in effect, a small town that needs its own highway code: roads with a direction of travel, junctions with right of way, stopping points where goods change hands and streets that no vehicle may enter. Writing that code by hand, vehicle by vehicle, is slow and error-prone, and correcting it after the fleet is running is slower still. SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools) is the part of SIASUN's IMRS platform where that code is drafted: a visual workspace in which routes, waypoints, stations, no-go zones and traffic rules are laid out on the navigation map and then tested in simulation before a single AGV or AMR takes to the floor.

Robots Middle East supplies SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools) to manufacturers, distribution centres and logistics operators across the Middle East. Robots Middle East prepares the quotation, coordinates delivery of the software as part of the wider IMRS deployment and remains the point of contact for support once the fleet is in service, so that planning, commissioning and later layout changes are handled through a single regional partner.

Background

SIASUN and the IMRS platform

SIASUN is a Chinese robotics manufacturer whose portfolio extends from industrial manipulators to a broad range of mobile robots for factory and warehouse logistics. Hardware alone does not make a fleet productive, however, and SIASUN groups the software that plans, schedules and supervises its vehicles within IMRS, in its IMRS 2.0 form. IMRS is capable of large-scale, hybrid scheduling for up to thousands of units and offers an integrated solution for material storage and distribution at plant and workshop level. The Layout Planner Tools are a fundamental tool within that platform: the place where the operating area itself is defined before any scheduling can begin.

Positioning: the map as the foundation

A scheduler can only dispatch vehicles along paths it knows, to stations it recognises, under rules it has been given. That is why the layout planner sits at the base of the IMRS stack. Its role is rapid map creation, route planning and station configuration for AGV/AMR operating areas, carried out through a visual interface rather than through configuration files or manual coordinate entry. Two further capabilities shape its positioning: multi-navigation map management, which lets one project handle Laser SLAM, QR code and hybrid maps, and simulation-based verification, which checks the feasibility of a layout before deployment. Together they shorten commissioning time and keep the operation flexible when the factory layout changes.

Which navigation maps does SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools) support?

The tools work with three kinds of navigation map: Laser SLAM, QR code and hybrid. The distinction matters because real sites are rarely uniform. Laser SLAM navigation, in general, lets a vehicle localise against the natural features of its surroundings, which suits open production halls and areas that are reconfigured from time to time. QR code navigation relies on markers placed on the floor, an approach commonly chosen where positioning must be highly repeatable along fixed grids, such as dense storage areas. A hybrid map combines both within one operating area.

Because the planner offers multi-navigation map management, a single project can hold the maps for different zones or navigation methods side by side, rather than forcing the team to maintain separate, disconnected configurations. For a plant that runs laser-guided vehicles in assembly and marker-guided vehicles in a storage block, this keeps the whole site's highway code in one place, under one set of editing tools and one simulation step.

Why verify robot routes in simulation before go-live?

Mistakes in a robot layout are cheap on a screen and expensive on the floor. A route drawn too close to a column, two paths that meet at a junction without a priority rule, or a station placed where a vehicle cannot turn: each of these, discovered during commissioning, means stopped vehicles, waiting operators and repeated site visits. The planner's simulation debugging addresses exactly this by verifying path feasibility before go-live, so that the layout reaching the floor has already been exercised.

The same logic applies after the fleet is in service. Factory layouts change as product lines are added, racks are moved and safety areas are redrawn. The tools are built for fast iteration on such changes: the affected routes, stations or no-go zones are adjusted visually, checked again in simulation and then released. The outcome is shorter commissioning time and greater flexibility when layouts change, which is precisely where a manually configured fleet tends to lose time.

Who is SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools) for?

The first group is the operators of SIASUN AGV and AMR fleets running on IMRS. For them the tool is not an optional extra but the means by which the operating area is defined, from the first map of a new site to the hundredth adjustment of a mature one. Plant engineers and intralogistics managers in automotive, electronics, food and general manufacturing will recognise the value of being able to redraw a route and validate it without stopping production for trial runs.

The second group is system integrators and project teams who commission mobile robot installations on behalf of end customers. Visual editing and simulation-based verification help them deliver a tested layout at handover and respond quickly when the customer asks for changes later. Across the Middle East, where new manufacturing plants, free-zone warehouses and regional distribution hubs are being equipped with automation, that ability to plan and verify remotely before vehicles arrive on site is particularly relevant.

The third group is logistics operators managing mixed sites with more than one navigation method, who benefit from Laser SLAM, QR code and hybrid maps being handled in one environment. Buyers still selecting vehicles can browse the Mobile Robots category or the wider Logistics Robots range, and Robots Middle East will advise on how the planner fits the chosen fleet.

What is SIASUN Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools (Mobile Robot Layout Planner Tools) used for?

1. Commissioning a new site: creating the navigation map and laying out routes and stations before the fleet is put into service.
2. Managing layout changes: adjusting routes, stations and no-go zones quickly when racks, machines or production lines move.
3. Defining restricted areas: marking no-go zones around pedestrian walkways, maintenance bays or hazardous equipment.
4. Setting traffic rules: organising right of way and flow at junctions and shared aisles so that vehicles do not conflict.
5. Configuring stations: placing and adjusting pick-up and drop-off points where material changes hands.
6. Validating before go-live: using simulation debugging to confirm that every path is feasible before vehicles run it.
