About this listen

🤖 Plug & play or still a puzzle? Join us live from the Mobile Robot Mashup 2025, where eight vendors and ten different mobile robots came together under one roof - steered by MHP’s Fleet Executor via the VDA 5050 standard.We sit down with Katharina Grimm and Matthias Beiswenger from MHP, the masterminds behind this year’s Mesh-Up, to uncover:

✅ How they managed to onboard 8 vendors & 10 AGVs/AMRs in just 2.5 days

✅ The biggest technical challenges of connecting different fleets

✅ What’s still missing in VDA 5050 version 2.1

✅ Why version 3.0 is a game-changer for AMR integration

✅ Lessons learned about alignment, planning & communication in multi-vendor setups

✅ Their one wish for the VDA 5050 working group

From corridors vs. zones to bi-directional layout updates, this episode dives deep into the real-world pain points and future potential of fleet interoperability.

🎧 If you’re working with AMRs, AGVs, or fleet management software - this one’s for you.
