The orchestration system for mixed-fleet warehouses

Idealworks orchestration software coordinates heterogeneous fleets from any vendor. From single site to multi-site network, add robots to the AMRs, AGVs, and forklift-grade vehicles already on your floor.

Five iw.hubs running goods-in to goods-out at the Neu-Isenburg WDC.

Engineered for warehouse and fulfillment realities

Warehouses run on throughput, peak demand, continuous shifts, and floors shared by people, forklifts, and a mixed-vendor fleet. Idealworks OS and the Idealworks robot portfolio are built for that environment.

Orchestrate any robot, any vendor

Idealworks robots alongside MiR, Jungheinrich, OTTO by Rockwell, and other VDA 5050-compatible vehicles, all from one operational layer.

Connect to your existing systems

Orders, inventory state, and mission status stay in sync with the WMS and ERP you already run.

Run three shifts, seven days a week

Throughput holds steady across continuous operations. Peak-season demand is absorbed in software without re-mapping the floor.

Operate in mixed traffic

Idealworks robots are CE-certified for shared aisles with people, forklifts, and other vehicles. SLAM navigation keeps the floor as is.

Scale across sites on one platform

The same orchestration layer runs a single warehouse or a multi-site fulfillment network — shared maps, shared missions, network-level view.

Build on open standards

VDA 5050 is the open robotics standard Idealworks helps shape. Your vehicle choices and operational data stay portable as your fleet grows.

From mission request to confirmed delivery

Validate the deployment in iw.sim — a digital twin of your warehouse — before any hardware moves. The configuration that runs in sim runs on the floor.

Goods-in and dock-to-stock

Idealworks OS receives the goods-in event from the WMS, assigns the nearest available vehicle from the fleet, and routes inbound pallets from receiving to storage. Every pallet is tracked to its put-away location.

Putaway and storage

Idealworks OS matches each transport to the nearest available vehicle — Idealworks or third-party, AMR or AGV — and routes around live traffic. Pallets reach the correct storage slot without manual hand-off.

Dynamic routing

Zone control

Replenishment and consolidation

As pick orders release from the WMS, Idealworks OS draws stock from storage to pick faces and consolidates completed orders at packing stations. The fleet flows continuously between zones rather than waiting for batch releases.

Continuous flow

Pick-face supply

Outbound to dock

Ready-to-ship orders move from packing, consolidation, and storage areas to outbound staging lanes. Idealworks OS dynamically fills dock positions as truck schedules confirm, drawing from multiple zones to consolidate loads at the right lane, at the right time.

Dynamic consolidation

Site to network

Idealworks OS runs the next site on the same system. Maps, missions, vehicles, and operational data are managed from one place so a second warehouse or a regional fulfillment network scales without a separate stack.

Integrated robots

Run Idealworks robots with your existing hardware

The Idealworks robot portfolio covers the full range of warehouse movements, all coordinated through Idealworks OS without changes to your floor.

Floor-to-Floor Pallet Transport

Integrated forks for point-to-point pallet movement on a single level. Handles TKT containers and offset half-pallets without manual alignment. Best when pallets move floor-to-floor within a single environment.

Floor-to-Station Pallet Transport

Lifts pallets to elevated destinations — shelves, conveyors, and production stations — within a compact footprint. Continuous operation with 8+ hr runtime.

iw.hub + Pallet Dock

Mixed-fleet pallet handling

Underride AMR with Pallet Dock attachment. Handles pallets and pallet cages in the same fleet as dolly and line-side delivery — no separate infrastructure.
