Order & Transport Intelligence

Compass

onsite logistics, managed.

Compass manages orders and transport logistics for onsite operations. It plans, assigns and tracks every task across multiple vehicle types, with a live fleet overview and routing that adapts as the site changes.

built for mixed-traffic environments

Designed for complex operations and changing environments.

Most fleet managers are built for controlled environments with predictable input and output. Compass was built for mixed traffic, mixed fleets and changing environments. Every time your environment changes, the system recalculates the optimal plan in real-time.

Planning

Multi-agent

One traffic model for your whole fleet. Vehicles wait for each other instead of blocking each other, and every route is planned for the whole fleet.

Operations

Real-time

Live status of every order and vehicle.

Rewind and replay any shift to see exactly what happened.

Active in

4 sectors

Steel production, aluminium smelters, agriculture and production plants.

Capabilities

Orders. Vehicles. Traffic. Simulation.

Three management layers in one platform, running autonomously with active recalculation, plus a simulation environment to test and train before anything reaches the floor. All of them adapt to changes in the environment: routes, schedules and charging are managed in real-time.

From creation to completion, without manual scheduling.

→

Automated order creationBusiness logic and external system inputs automatically build the upcoming order list.

→

Dynamic work order distributionOrders are scheduled in the optimal sequence and assigned to vehicles for effective throughput.

→

Shift progressProgress towards user-defined shift goals is monitored in real-time.

→

Manual overrideOperators stay in control and can intervene on any order at any moment.

Full monitoring of every vehicle in the facility.

→

Full monitoringStatus, location, battery and current task tracked for every vehicle in the fleet.

→

Path planningAdvanced multi-agent and tool path planning, from routing through a factory to covering an agricultural field.

→

Battery managementFinds the right moment for each vehicle to charge, so batteries never interrupt a shift and utilization stays high.

→

Mixed vehicle and task operationsAMRs, autonomous tractors, forklifts and other mobile equipment work in synergy on different task types, coordinated in one plan.

Safely coordinate mixed traffic across shifts and zones.

→

Deadlock preventionArea accessibility is managed live, so vehicles never lock each other in at an intersection.

→

Configurable traffic rulesRules and plant layout adapt to changing situations, processes and shifts.

→

Incident notificationsCustom notifications based on incident severity and user profile.

→

Blockages and closed areasZones can be closed and obstacles added at any moment, by operators or external systems; routes adapt immediately.

→

Replay historic operationsRewind any shift and replay it exactly as it ran, or with a different plan, to see what would have changed.

→

Use for training PolarisSimulated episodes of your own operation train the decision engine, so new strategies are proven before they reach the fleet.

→

Scenario testingTest layout changes, shift plans and demand peaks in a simulated copy of the site before touching the floor.

Capacity and fleet sizingSee how many vehicles a change in throughput actually needs, before buying equipment or rebuilding a hall.

How it works

Every vehicle. Routed.

Compass searches for the global optimum: the plan that executes every open task for every process with the whole mixed fleet, not the best move for a single vehicle. Orders appear across the site, each one is assigned to the vehicle that can complete it soonest, and the fleet is routed through the aisles without collisions or deadlocks.

What it does

Complex operations, in full control.

Compass handles order logic, fleet coordination and real-time traffic management without manual intervention, and keeps your team in full control: any order, vehicle or zone can be managed in real-time.

Fully integrated

System and process integration. Orders flow in from ERP, MES or the process itself, completions flow back, and every process step stays in sync with the fleet.

Order management

Automates the full order lifecycle. Business logic and external inputs drive order creation; the system continuously optimizes assignments in real-time, with manual override always available.

Traffic control

Prevents deadlocks before they happen. Configurable traffic rules adapt to operational changes and shift patterns; severity-based alerts keep your team informed.

Vehicle management

Full monitoring of every vehicle: status, location, battery and task. Path planning routes several vehicle types simultaneously, and charging is planned so batteries never stop production at peak.

Where this goes

”

Operators can't keep track of complex operations. Compass can.

Complex environments call for flexible systems. That is what keeps an operation running continuously, whatever changes on the floor.Quantillion

Start with one process: Compass manages it end to end and makes it resilient to disruptions.
Merge multiple processes into one synergy: a single plan that adjusts itself as production changes.
Expand until the whole site runs on one live plan, with Polaris learning from every shift and Scout executing on the floor.

In use

One platform.
Different sites.

Compass manages whatever moves material, from ladle carriers to field tractors, from order intake to delivery. Two environments it is built for:

Example 01 · Aluminium

One live picture of the smelter floor

Compass gives a live view of the full smelter operation: order status, transport assignments and process state, so every team works from the same picture at all times. It manages ladle carrier routing, task assignment and vehicle status across the floor, so no vehicle idles and no furnace waits longer than necessary.

Ladle carrier routing and task assignment
Order status and process state in one view
Transport dispatched before a temperature window closes
Replans when a vehicle drops out or a tap is delayed

Example 02 · Agriculture

Fleet coordination across the farm

Running several tractors and transport vehicles across a large farm needs constant coordination. Compass plans field passes and transport runs as one fleet, keeps routes from overlapping and keeps downstream storage from building up, with Scout executing every task in the field.

Field passes and transport runs planned as one fleet
Routes that never overlap or wait on each other
Harvest windows replanned as weather and capacity change
Scout executes every task without a driver

Same order logic, same traffic model, same override rules; the site underneath is what changes.

Integrated steelworks operations

Steel

Hot-metal ladle logistics, heat-loss minimization, and furnace scheduling in integrated steelworks. Execution order planned to reduce temperature loss and maximize yield.

Polaris · Compass

Autonomous tractor

Agriculture

Autonomous field operations powered by Scout. Electric tractors that navigate terrain, avoid obstacles, and execute tasks without a driver.

Compass · Scout

Aluminium smelter operations

Aluminium

Cast house logistics, potroom scheduling, and ladle routing in primary aluminium smelters. Heat-critical transport sequences that keep production continuous and safe.
