Porsche Boosts AGV Efficiency with New Central Control System
Porsche has implemented a new system for centralised control of its automated guided vehicle (AGV) fleet, enhancing efficiency and sustainability. The system, MHP FleetExecuter, is provided by Siemens and allows Porsche to manage AGVs from different manufacturers using various communication interfaces.
The software coordinates various plant infrastructure elements, such as lifts and gates, enabling AGVs to navigate smoothly. This has led to a significant increase in intralogistics efficiency, up to 20%. Porsche can now control a growing number of AGVs precisely.
The software was integrated in just nine months, following digital modelling and simulation. MHP, the technology provider, was founded in 1996 and is now fully owned by Porsche. Currently, 27 AGVs carry out up to 1,600 material transports daily over a 750-metre distance. By reducing HGV trips, Porsche contributes to sustainability.
Porsche plans to expand the use of MHP FleetExecuter, with ten more projects in the pipeline, including the Bau 70 assembly hall for the Porsche Taycan. This software integration demonstrates Porsche's commitment to enhancing efficiency and sustainability in its production processes.
