New White Paper Release: Moving Beyond Individual Optimization in Robotics

On July 14, 2026, Seaos Inc., a consulting and systems development company specializing in logistics, unveiled its latest white paper titled 'Breaking Free from Individual Optimization: Embracing Integrated Control in the Era of Multivendor Robotics'.

Overview of the White Paper

This document is tailored for logistics leaders and operational managers who have implemented robots, such as Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), yet find themselves grappling with less-than-expected productivity gains. As advanced hardware becomes more prevalent, the issue of silos created by independent control systems across different manufacturers poses a significant bottleneck. This white paper emphasizes the necessity of integrated control that transcends manufacturer and model barriers. It systematically outlines the requirements for the next-generation Robotics Management System (RMS) and presents a phased roadmap for safely expanding automation efforts without incurring excessive risk.

Key Points Discussed

1. Barriers to Automation: Manufacturer and Collaboration Walls

The white paper delves into fundamental issues that keep operations trapped in individual optimization. These include the inability of robots from different manufacturers to communicate, leading to deadlocks, and a lack of collaboration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), resulting in fragmented operational processes that still rely on manual directives.

2. Three Requirements for Achieving Global Optimization with Next-Gen RMS

Seaos outlines three essential capabilities that a next-generation robotics system should possess:

• - Hardware Agnosticism: A system that operates independently of specific manufacturers and models.
• - Process Orchestration: Performing not only movement commands but also task allocation based on operational data.
• - Dynamic Mapping Response: Adapting in real-time to environmental changes, ensuring that the robotics systems are always aware of their surroundings.

3. Practical Automation Using the Integrated Platform: Logiler Move

As a case study, Seaos introduces Logiler Move, an integrated platform that controls a fleet of robots through a two-layer structure (RMS and RMC). This includes practical examples such as continuous automatic transport with automated dockers (like TUGBOT2) and a detailed three-step roadmap for gradually expanding automation with minimized risk.

Target Audience

The white paper is intended for:

• - Logistics executives, warehouse, and factory operations managers across 3PL, manufacturing, and retail sectors.
• - Companies facing challenges such as underutilized AGVs/AMRs, constraints due to frequent layout changes hindering fixed automation equipment installation, and those aiming to reduce labor dependence in cart transport operations.
