Automation Orchestration

A single system for directing both an automated fleet and material handlers

Direct every move on the floor, automated or not.

Cella directs AGVs, AMRs and material handlers from one configurable set of rules and one live view of inventory, so an automated fleet runs on the same warehouse logic as the people working beside it.

Fleet Controllers manage your hardware, Cella manages your warehouse.

While AGVs and AMRs native software tracks each unit and routes it from one point to another, it doesn’t know which rack holds what production needs, what to do when the destination is already full or when production is about to run out. Cella Warehouse Management orchestrates your hardware and makes sure production stays running and your customers stay happy.

Direct any fleet through its own controller

Cella connects at the fleet controller rather than at the individual robot, so the units underneath can be any AGV or AMR with a modern API.

Assign work to robots and people from the same set of rules

Cella routes each task to the resource group that fits, following rules built around your zones, skills and current workload.

Automatically switch between the fleet and material handlers

Firmware updates, scanner faults and repairs take units out of service. Cella reassigns that work to your material handlers, who pick it up in the same system, minimizing downtime.

Robotics Orchestration | FAQs

Does Cella replace our fleet controller?

No. The fleet controller keeps navigating each unit through the building. Cella sits above it and decides which moves need to happen, in what order and why.

What hardware does Cella work with?

It is hardware agnostic. The requirement is a fleet controller with a modern API that can exchange calls in both directions.

Do we have to automate the whole operation to get value from this?

No. Cella runs an all-human operation, an all-automated one or any mix of the two, so a plant that is not ready to convert everything can automate part of the floor and leave the rest as it is.

What happens when a unit goes down or needs a firmware update?

The tasks headed to that unit either hold or move to a human resource group. Your material handlers keep the line fed while the fleet is out of service.

How does an automated move reach Plex?

Cella writes the completed move back the moment it finishes and updates Plex in real time.

Run the fleet and the floor on one system.
