Standard Software
Standard software is the base software on the J1600 self-driving pallet jack. It is deliberately reduced to essential functions for maximum ease of use, built around configuration-free Teach and Repeat, and designed to feel "consumer-level easy" to anyone who already operates an electric pallet jack.
What it includes
- Teach and Repeat task creation — drive to a point, save it, and reuse it in autonomous tasks. No programming or configuration is required.
- Touchscreen task launch — tasks are created and started from the 15-inch multi-touch display on the vehicle.
- Saved locations — locations are created by driving to a point and tapping Save location. The software has no limit on the number of saved locations.
- Basic automation functions — start automatic tasks on-screen, autonomous driving to saved locations, floor-level pallet drop, return-to-me, and go-to-parking.
Working with tasks and locations
The operator picks up a pallet manually, chooses a saved destination on the touchscreen, selects what the robot should do after delivery (return to origin, go to another point or parking, or stop and wait), and confirms autonomous mode with the physical start button. Locations can be recombined freely — you do not need to teach every possible A-to-B variation. See Dual Mode for how manual and autonomous operation share one vehicle.
Deployment requirements
Standard software is intended for single-unit deployments without a systems project:
- Wi-Fi is optional for the basic out-of-box workflow.
- No warehouse-management system (WMS), fleet manager, or IT integration is required.
- No building modifications, tracks, wires, or reflectors are needed — navigation uses 3D LiDAR SLAM.
- Training takes about 30 minutes for an existing electric-pallet-jack operator, supported by an on-device or online tutorial.
Who it is for
Standard software fits operations that want one robot running quickly: a single J1600 automating repetitive floor-to-floor transport, with operators adding or changing locations themselves instead of calling an automation expert.
Upgrading
When the application grows, the Advanced software upgrade adds VDA 5050 interoperability, a REST API, Fleet Manager, advanced mission planning, and deeper system integration. See the software comparison for a side-by-side view.
