PFF pro™ tools fleet management software integrated with a new series of professional robots offers businesses the next generation of workplace efficiency
Piaggio Fast Forward (PFF), a leader in smart following technology and subsidiary of the Piaggio Group (PIA.MI), announced today that the company will be offering business customers a better way to manage the human-robot relationship and maximize the power of their data. Beginning in early 2023, PFF will offer PFF pro™ tools fleet management software to enable and enhance the next-generation of the dedicated business version of our products: the PFF pro gitamini™ and pro gitaplus™ robots. The cloud-based tool is a next-generation fleet management solution purpose-built to optimize and augment the working relationship between humans and their robotic counterparts. This proprietary software provides integration and orchestration features allowing teams to achieve more while collaborating with their robot partners. The software is highly visual and intuitive and begins driving value from day one via integrations and reporting functionality. It is an out-of-the-box technology solution to drive immediate value to businesses via enhanced worker safety, increased efficiencies and improved client experiences in select industries including travel, hospitality, real estate, retail, business construction and more.
“Gita robots are augmenting many of today’s workers’ jobs with valuable efficiency and safety features that make robots vital coworkers and not job threats,” notes Greg Lynn, PFF CEO. “Whether it is front of house or back of house in hospitality environments or transporting tools and supplies on a construction site or warehouse floor, technology enabling productivity is key to getting the job done right the first time. And even with a bit of flair.”
PFF’s autonomous technology is designed to move with and around workers in complex environments and thus gita robots help rather than hinder individuals in the workplace. They are the perfect tools to streamline workflows and increase productivity on small- and large-scale job sites. In the same manner that gita robots are easy to use by individual workers on-site and ready for deployment out of the box.
PFF has now addressed how teams of workers can interact with fleets of robots intelligently and simply. With the new PFF pro tools, managers more easily ensure the right workers have access to the gita robots that the employee needs to complete their tasks during their shift. From any desktop, PFF pro tools provide key fleet management functionality, including the ability to seamlessly update operating software and maintain the robots. A purpose-built user app allows individual workers to be authenticated and provides usage insight on robots across the fleet.
As they expand to wider industrial applications, the company developed its largest capacity robot to date, the all new PFF pro gitaplus. With its larger cargo volume, the gitaplus brings more of everything that employees need for their jobs while the PFF pro tools fleet management software allows for greater control and efficiency when utilizing multiple robots across multiple teams. Assigning robots to tasks and the people completing those tasks throughout each business day is now a couple of simple clicks away.Demo PFF Pro Tools and Robots
Debuting at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo on November 15th – 18th in Orlando, FL, guests will be able to explore innovative ways to improve operations and increase guest satisfaction including demonstrations of the PFF pro fleet management software and pro robots. If attending, please visit booth #6138.
In addition to PFF pro tools and robots, PFF will offer the PFF follow™ module in early 2023. This business solution will enable external partners to leverage PFF’s exclusive smart following technology that allows humans to lead other robots and machines, providing a larger range of navigation methods—remote control, autonomous, and now, following—in dynamic environments. PFF engineers have been able to componentize the PFF smart following technology developed for the gita® family of robots into a stand-alone module called PFF follow, which can be integrated on other machines or robots. Guests at the Trimble Dimensions+ User Conference at The Venetian Las Vegas last week were able to preview firsthand how the PFF following technology can support their businesses.
