The launch of the MiR Fleet Enterprise fleet management software platform marks MiR's becoming a comprehensive "one-stop solution provider" in the field of internal logistics and material handling. This innovative software relies on MiR's cutting-edge technology and has complete solution capabilities, covering advanced robot hardware, sophisticated software design and efficient deployment processes, fully meeting the complex needs of enterprise-level customers. In addition, it provides an integrated end-to-end solution to help enterprises achieve efficient and intelligent logistics automation.

Research firm Interact Analysis predicts that the global autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market is expected to exceed 2.7 million units by 2027. As companies rush to accelerate the expansion of their robot fleets, their demand for advanced software that can improve the intelligence of robots is also surging. It is against this backdrop that MiR Fleet Enterprise, an innovative management platform, was born, which can seamlessly integrate with existing IT environments and precisely meet market needs.

Jean-Pierre Hathout, President of MiR , stressed: “Software is key to the success of autonomous mobile robot (AMR) brands in the competition. Therefore, we have re-engineered our fleet management platform to bring a new direction to the industry. MiR Fleet Enterprise is more than just a simple upgrade. In line with our expansion strategy, we have transitioned our polling API to a more efficient publish-subscribe model, which greatly improves the responsiveness and convenience of data exchange between systems. In addition, MiR Fleet Enterprise provides modular and forward-looking features that can change with customer needs and technological advances, laying a solid foundation for future cybersecurity. This innovation keeps our customers’ AMR fleets at the forefront of practicality and innovation.”

MiR Fleet Enterprise abandons the traditional private fleet management system model. The software relies on Windows servers, supports multiple virtualization strategies, is compatible with modern IT infrastructure and cloud environments, and is easy to deploy and integrate. Its main features include:

• Enhanced cybersecurity: The software uses advanced cybersecurity measures such as single sign-on, audit logs, and an improved user permission system, which complies with IEC 62443 standard Part 4-2 (security level C3). These measures provide strong protection against evolving cyber threats. The software adopts a proactive cybersecurity approach to ensure that customers can integrate and expand their AMR systems with confidence without compromising IT security.

• Optimized custom configuration: Customers can fully control the software configuration, customize and update according to their own IT management policies, and use the software flexibility to quickly respond to difficult operational needs.

• Improved scalability: MiR Fleet Enterprise not only meets the challenges of growing fleet sizes and complex integration, but also simplifies the communication process between management software and each autonomous mobile robot (AMR). This optimized data exchange can reduce network load and enhance operational efficiency, even for large fleets of hundreds of devices.

MiR always puts cybersecurity first

As AMR systems become more connected to IT environments, it is more important than ever to take strong security measures. MiR Fleet Enterprise integrates advanced security features that not only meet industry standards but are also used to defend against cyber threats, fully reflecting MiR's continued pursuit of cybersecurity, which also puts MiR at the forefront of providing secure, scalable and reliable solutions.

“MiR Fleet Enterprise addresses the critical need for reliable cybersecurity for large AMR fleets by implementing advanced security measures and optimizing data exchange,” said Birol Esmer, Head of Software Product Management at MiR. “This integrated approach ensures that we can provide our customers with a more reliable solution, and we will continue to improve it as our customers need it to scale robustly and securely.
