Advanced Software
Advanced software is the upgrade package for the J1600. One J1600 hardware platform supports two software versions: Standard, reduced to essential functions, and Advanced, which opens the vehicle to fleets and system integration.
What it adds
- VDA 5050 interoperability — full support for the multi-vendor fleet interface. See VDA 5050.
- REST API — a software interface for integrating the J1600 with other software and equipment. See REST API and integrations.
- Fleet Manager — per-robot software for orchestrated multi-robot deployments, priced separately. See Fleet Manager.
- Advanced mission planning — beyond the standard task patterns.
- Advanced system integration — connecting the robot with other software and equipment in the facility.

How the upgrade is installed
The upgrade is easiest to install at the factory when the robot is ordered. A partner can perform the upgrade later on an existing robot; customers cannot install it themselves. If you expect to need fleet operation or integrations, order the upgrade with the robot.
When to choose it
Choose Advanced software when you plan to run more than one robot, coordinate the J1600 with robots from other vendors under a VDA 5050 fleet layer, connect the robot to other systems through the API, or use advanced mission planning. For a single robot doing teach-and-repeat transport, Standard software is sufficient — the upgrade path remains open. See the software comparison.
