Concepts and Terminology The ideas and vocabulary behind the J1600 — human-in-the-loop automation, dual mode, teach and repeat, VDA 5050, pallet-automation fundamentals, and a full glossary.
Human-in-the-Loop Automation What human-in-the-loop automation means, how work is divided between operator and robot on the J1600, and why keeping a person in charge lowers cost, risk, and rigidity. Dual Mode The dual-mode concept — one vehicle that works as a manual electric pallet jack and as a self-driving robot, how the handover works, and why the combination exists. Teach and Repeat The teach-and-repeat concept — creating robot tasks by driving to a point and saving it, with no code, no infrastructure, and no limit on saved locations. Mobile Robot Terminology The vocabulary of mobile robotics explained — AMR versus AGV, SLAM and LiDAR, brownfield, fleet managers, WMS, protective fields, and where the J1600 fits among the categories. Glossary Definitions of the terms used across the Knowledge Center — from AGV, AMR, and API to teach and repeat, VDA 5050, WMS, and the 360-degree safety field. VDA 5050 Explained What the VDA 5050 interoperability standard is, the multi-vendor fleet problem it solves, and what full VDA 5050 support means for the J1600. Pallet Automation Fundamentals The pallet-transport market in numbers, the spectrum from manual pallet jacks to full automation, the three adoption barriers, and where dual-mode automation fits.
