VDA5050 #

Meili Robots’ VDA5050 implementation follows the VDA5050 2.0.0 standard defined by the “Interface for the communication between automated guided vehicles (AGV) and a master control” version 2.0.0. Any details not explicitly covered in this document are specified in the official VDA5050 documentation and github repository.

While the standard allows for extensive information exchange, Meili Robots focuses on specific data relevant to our operations. This document outlines the required information and describes how our Fleet Management System processes it.

In this tutorial you will find all the necessary information from setting-up and connecting your robots to Meili FMS through MQTT, to sending and receiving orders and instant-actions.
