How to integrate your robots
To control your robots with the Meili Fleet Management System (FMS), you need a communication bridge. This is typically achieved by running an agent on the robot’s network that translates FMS commands into the robot’s native protocol.
Supported Robots
Before building a custom integration, check if your robot is already supported. We provide ready-to-use agents for several major brands.
- Check the AMRs/AGVs vendors section for a list of supported robots.
- For robots based on ROS or ROS 2, check the ROS/ROS 2 Agent documentation.
- For robots that comply with the VDA 5050 standard, check the VDA 5050 Agent documentation.
Custom Integration with Meili SDK
If your robot is not listed, you can build a custom agent using the Meili SDK. The SDK simplifies the process by handling the WebSocket communication with the FMS.
You have two options for creating a custom agent:
-
Use the Integration Skeleton (Recommended): Start with a pre-built structure that handles the basics.
-
Build from Scratch: Use the WebSocket Client directly for full control.
