Siemens Simove is an advanced Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) solution used in industrial automation and robotics. It is designed to optimize material transportation and manage autonomous transport vehicles efficiently. It operates using optical sensors, magnetic strips, or natural navigation systems to ensure safe and precise movement.
Components of the Simove System
The Simove system consists of two main components:
- Carrier Control
- Motor and drive control of AGV
- Navigation method (optical, magnetic tape/line tracking or natural navigation)
- Safety programs
Carrier Control is the software component that determines the movement control and safe driving systems of the AGV. The above features are configured using this program.
- Master Control
- Sending commands to AGVs
- Fleet management (add-drop and managing AGVs)
- Communication with the main PLC system
Master Control ensures the centralized management of the AGV fleet. It works in synchronization with the main PLC system to ensure AGVs reach designated points efficiently.

Simove Application at Tofaş with Bluepath Robotics AGV Fleet
With the AGV systems used at the Tofaş factory, we make material transportation easier, more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.
- Mouse AGV
- Trolley transportation and navigation
- Precise stopping and barcode scanning
- Integration with robotic stations
- Battery transfer via manipulator
Mouse AGV autonomously delivers battery-carrying trolleys to each station on the production line. Thanks to barcode scanning systems, it stops at each station to enable automated data collection. It also ensures precise positioning at robotic stations for accurate operations.
- Omnidirectional AGV
- Battery transportation and navigation to the decking station
- Free omnidirectional movement along X and Y axes
- Automated charging and fleet management
Omnidirectional AGV transports the battery carried by the Mouse AGV to the decking station. It moves freely in X and Y axes for precise navigation. When idle, it automatically charges and works in coordination with other AGVs to ensure efficient fleet management.
