JBT Expands Motion Operating System (mot.OS) Capabilities with BlueBotics Integration

JBT Automated Systems continues to enhance its industry-leading Motion Operating System (mōt.OS) by collaborating with BlueBotics, enabling seamless integration of ‘ANT driven’ mobile robots into its advanced fleet management platform. This partnership underscores JBT’s commitment to delivering best-in-class automated solutions that maximize efficiency, safety, and flexibility for customers.

This evolution builds upon JBT’s longstanding relationship with Oppent, a company that has utilized BlueBotics’ technology in its primary product line for years. By further strengthening these strategic alliances, JBT ensures that customers benefit from the most sophisticated and integrated automation solutions available today.

With this new capability, JBT customers can now deploy both Industry-Leading Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and BlueBotics-powered AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) on the same paths, allowing for a more streamlined, efficient, and safer material handling operation.

“Our goal has always been to provide seamless and intelligent automation for our customers,” said Darren O’Reilly, Senior Director of Software and Technology, JBT. “By integrating BlueBotics’ technology into mōt.OS, we are reinforcing our commitment to delivering a unified, multi-vendor fleet management system that optimizes workflows and meets the evolving demands of modern industrial environments.”

“This exciting collaboration presents a genuine win-win for our companies,” said Dr. Nicola Tomatis, CEO of BlueBotics. “On one hand, it will enable JBT to scale faster by adding a wide range of ‘ANT driven’ vehicles to its line-up. On the other, it will create new commercial opportunities for the vehicle makers in our ANT driven ecosystem.”

JBT remains at the forefront of innovation in automation with a strategic focus on large scale enterprise projects where it leverages its experience in lifting High, Heavy, and Complex applications. JBT mōt.OS is the key solution for customers who need to maintain Simple, Scalable, and Sustainable total site automation with end to end orchestration.
