OPENTCS

openTCS is free software and can be downloaded from the download page. The source code of the control system software is available under an open-source license, too. As a result, every Java developer could make changes and provide extensions for an AGVS originally installed by another developer. This effectively reduces the user's investment risk... openTCS is a vendor-independent and flexibly usable control system software for automated guided vehicle systems (AGVS) and other non-continuous conveyors like electric monorail conveyors and mobile assembly platforms. It was originally developed during a publicly funded project. Now the code base is being maintained and development continued by Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics (IML) in Dortmund, Germany... openTCS is a free and open source Java-based control system for AGVs and other automatic vehicles.
