Idealworks OS

The Idealworks Orchestration System (Idealworks OS) is the central control layer that implements automation across all intralogistics environments by uniting heterogeneous robots, peripheral devices, and IT systems under a single, unified operating logic.

Idealworks OS

Overview

At the heart of our automation approach is Idealworks OS (Idealworks Orchestration System) — the control layer that implements automation and unites heterogeneous robots, peripheral devices, and IT systems under a unified operating logic. Developed on the production floors of the BMW Group, Idealworks OS integrates simulation, intelligent fleet management, and both manual and automated vehicles across diverse workflows. Thanks to its open, VDA 5050-based architecture, Idealworks OS enables seamless scaling across different processes and sites — vendor-independent and without lock-in effects. Precise metrics monitor utilization, throughput, and system health in real time, bringing full transparency to your processes. Idealworks delivers and operates automation systems from a single source, taking responsibility as a reliable partner for system design, orchestration, and long-term performance.

Frequently asked questions

The cloud-based software Idealworks OS forms the heart of the Idealworks robotics ecosystem, through which all intralogistics processes can be visualized and managed. Centralized Orchestration The platform coordinates tasks and traffic across all robots and systems, enabling predictable behavior in mixed-traffic environments. Users can create automations that map their material flows and encode environmental constraints on an interactive map view through zones and points of interest. Core features include task assignment to select the right robot for the right job, traffic management to avoid congestion and optimize routes, and task scheduling to plan the execution of orders. Industrial IoT devices (e.g., alarms, sensors, doors) can be seamlessly integrated into the system, while interfaces to ERP and WMS systems complete the end-to-end integration. Live System Transparency Real-time insights into fleet status, missions, and operational performance enable deep visibility. Using interactive map visualization, users can track the progress of active orders as well as the states and positions of robots in real time, and analyze fleet performance. Heatmaps visualize particularly error-prone or high-traffic areas, enabling easy optimization of travel routes for higher throughput and greater safety. Standards-Based Integration Idealworks OS enables scalability through open interfaces for vendor-independent connectivity. The system facilitates the seamless integration of mobile robots from various vendors and orchestrates transport operations across your industrial facility. Built for Scale With Idealworks OS, you receive a holistic system that accompanies you throughout your entire automation journey – delivering stable performance from the first rollout to multi-site operations.
