SYNAOS Expands Access to Intralogistics Orchestration with Bosch Rexroth

Successful integration of K.Hartwall’s ROKIT-powered AMR into the SYNAOS platform showcases the power of open standards and layered intelligence, providing a compelling benchmark for efficient mobile robot fleet management.

Hannover, October 7, 2025 – SYNAOS, a leader in intelligent material flow solutions, is demonstrating a progressive approach to factory automation by combining its advanced orchestration capabilities with Bosch Rexroth’s VDA 5050-compliant ROKIT software solutions. This collaboration empowers operators to seamlessly manage and optimize heterogeneous mobile robot fleets, evolving complex facilities into efficient, orchestrated ecosystems. The effectiveness of this approach is highlighted by the rapid integration of K.Hartwall’s A-MATE® Lite AMR, which is powered by ROKIT software and now in productive use under SYNAOS orchestration.

In today’s demanding intralogistics landscape, success depends on combining best-in-class technologies at every level. The SYNAOS platform provides top-level intelligence, orchestrating material flows across diverse assets, while the ROKIT Locator and the ROKIT Navigator offerings from Bosch Rexroth deliver robust, VDA 5050-compliant localization and navigation of mobile robots. This layered intelligence approach, enabled by VDA 5050, allows SYNAOS to solve the higher-level challenge of optimizing complex, factory-wide material flows across all transport resources on the shopfloor.

“At SYNAOS, our mission is to make intralogistics operations with all their diverse participants as efficient and future-proof as possible,” said Dr. Philipp Schäfers, Head of Partner Management & Business Development, SYNAOS. “The rapid and straightforward integration of the ROKIT-powered K.Hartwall A-MATE® Lite into our platform, based on VDA 5050, demonstrates the strength of the open approach pursued by SYNAOS and Bosch Rexroth. This modularity and flexibility are true game changers for the industry.”

The successful project highlights the clear division of roles: Bosch Rexroth’s ROKIT Navigator and ROKIT Locator ensure that the A-MATE® Lite operates with precise, reliable autonomy, while the SYNAOS platform integrates this VDA 5050-compliant vehicle, dynamically allocating tasks and optimizing routes efficiently within the overall fleet.

“Our ROKIT software solutions enable robust, open systems that drastically reduce integration complexity,” explains Jörg Heckel, Head of the Project Robotics at Bosch Rexroth. “The A-MATE® Lite project shows that vehicles powered by ROKIT software solutions can be quickly and efficiently connected to any fleet management system and put into operation — regardless of which other systems or vehicle types are in use.”

Key Highlights of this Strategic Approach:

• Layered Intelligence: Combines best-in-class autonomy from Bosch Rexroth’s ROKIT software with high-level fleet orchestration from SYNAOS for superior performance.
• Open and Interoperable: Leverages VDA 5050 and open interfaces to ensure seamless integration, giving operators the freedom to build and scale heterogeneous fleets.
• Proven Success: The rapid onboarding of the ROKIT-powered K.Hartwall A-MATE® Lite into the SYNAOS platform serves as a strong proof point for integrated systems.
• OEM Empowerment: This ecosystem approach enables vehicle manufacturers like K.Hartwall to bring advanced, interoperable robots to market faster.

This successful integration underscores SYNAOS’s role as the intelligent orchestrator for the factory of the future. Visitors to the Mobile Robotics Summit 2025 (Düsseldorf, October 8–9) can see the K.Hartwall A-MATE® Lite in the live AGV/AMR showcase and meet with SYNAOS and Bosch Rexroth on-site.
