The MiR VDA 5050 Adapter bridges Mobile Industrial Robots’ (MiR) autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) with VDA 5050-compatible third-party fleet management systems. Initiated by the German Automotive Industry Association and the VDMA Material Handling and Intralogistics Association, the VDA 5050 standard enables communication between multiple AMR robot types from various suppliers using a common control system. The standard allows customers to improve traffic management and coordinate operations when using different automated vehicles. The adapter connects MiR’s existing Restful robot interface with the MQTT protocols facilitating VDA message exchange between MiR AMRs and third-party systems. The VDA5050 Adapter is available worldwide through global certified system integrators. MiR will provide optional support agreements for continued updates and compatibility assurance as standards evolve.
