Kollmorgen, a global leader in navigation and controls technology for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), announces the launch of NDC Layout Assistant ; a tool that provides fast, structured insight into layout quality, improving performance and shortening design and validation time while establishing a strong foundation for future AI-driven capabilities.
Simple insight for smarter layout decisions
Many organizations struggle with limited visibility into layout performance. Problems are often discovered late, fine-tuning the layout can require a lot of manual work, and it is unclear where changes will deliver the greatest benefit.
NDC Layout Assistant responds to these challenges by making layout performance transparent from the start, serving as a smart layout guide.
Immediate layout quality feedback
The tool delivers instant insight into potential layout issues, making it easier to identify which segments have the greatest optimization potential early in the design process. This enables faster improvements and higher design quality with fewer iterations.
Focus on what matters most
Performance is analyzed at segment level, allowing users to clearly see where inefficiencies occur—even in complex layouts. Segments with the highest optimization potential are highlighted, helping teams focus on the areas with the greatest impact.
Clear, actionable segment data
For each segment, NDC Layout Assistant provides essential metrics:
- travel time
- drive speed
- optimization potential
Visual indicators help users spot segments with inefficient travel times or drive speeds, making it easier to identify where improvements are needed.
A more efficient design workflow
By reducing the time spent identifying issues and validating changes, NDC Layout Assistant supports a faster, more predictable workflow. Users can prioritize improvements, shorten simulation cycles, and communicate results more effectively — leading to layouts that perform as intended, sooner.
