Commission faster at scale with 10x smaller AMR fleet map files

Graphic showing the 10x smaller file size for AMR maps in our 2.36 launch.

Manufacturers need automation that delivers value beyond initial deployment, supporting ongoing gains in efficiency, safety, and cost as production needs evolve.

With our latest release, manufacturers can adapt quicker to changing production demands. By reducing fleet map file sizes by up to 10x, teams can edit, publish, and deploy updates faster across large autonomous mobile robot (AMR) fleets, helping facilities stay flexible and reduce downtime during operational changes.

At scale, file size can become a critical operational constraint

As AMR fleets scale across large, multi-site operations, map file size quickly becomes a critical constraint. In high-traffic environments, data latency can significantly impact throughput.

According to the Journal of Manufacturing Materials and Processing, manufacturing studies show that data latency can reduce on‑time fulfillment by up to 70% when scheduling and coordination rely on delayed data.

At the same time, data volume and complexity, not just robot count, are now a primary driver of infrastructure cost at scale. As fleets expand, larger map files increase demand for computing, storage, networking, and system administration, making efficient data management essential for enterprise-wide scalability.

Smaller map files unlock faster, more scalable fleet operations

With this release, OTTO removes that constraint by reducing fleet map file size by up to 10x, even at new scales of up to 2 million square feet. This directly improves how fleets are deployed, updated, and managed at scale.

  • Faster distribution of map updates across large fleets
  • Reduced AMR downtime during map publishing
  • Shorter AMR map load times
  • More responsive map editing and tools

By reducing map size, commissioning becomes faster and more efficient, even in large deployments. This helps manufacturers deploy updates with less disruption and maintain consistent system performance at scale.

As manufacturing operations continue to evolve, having software that grows with your facility is key to maintaining efficiency and flexibility. Learn more about OTTO’s latest software updates here.
