AFORMIC INC., a leading provider of autonomous intralogistics systems, proudly announces a partnership with Automation Controls & Engineering, LLC (ACE), a leader in industrial automation solutions. This collaboration sets a new benchmark in deploying cutting-edge robotic technology to elevate logistics automation for customers worldwide.

Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are rapidly redefining material handling in factories and warehouses, gradually replacing traditional forklifts and manual operations. Their seamless integration with existing plant environments not only streamlines intralogistics processes but also paves the way for the next stage of manufacturing optimization, enhancing productivity, minimizing costs, and boosting overall operational safety. Collaboration within the industry will undoubtedly accelerate the advancement of these technologies, bringing even greater value to customers.

Optimize, Orchestrate, Automate – with AFORMIC Qursor for AMRs

At the heart of this partnership is the official launch of ToBoT, ACE’s next-generation AMR solution, designed to optimize intralogistics and material handling in manufacturing and warehouse environments. The ToBoT will feature AFORMIC’s industry-leading Qursor control system, which brings advanced orchestration and fleet management capabilities to the platform. This integration results in a powerful, scalable, and intelligent solution that meets the increasing demand for flexible and autonomous operations.

“Collaboration between engineering companies with complementary competencies always opens up new opportunities — both technological and business-related. We are excited to partner with ACE in this joint mission to push the boundaries of autonomous mobile robotics,” said Marek Gabrys, President of AFORMIC. “We thank the ACE team for their trust and joint development. It’s inspiring to see how much we can achieve by joining forces.”

As part of the agreement, both companies will expand their respective product portfolios. AFORMIC will now offer the ToBoT AMR solution to its customer base, while ACE will distribute and support AFORMIC’s line of AMR products. This reciprocal arrangement ensures greater flexibility and choice for customers seeking tailored automation systems.

This partnership significantly enhances the after-sales support capabilities of both companies, providing a robust, international service network to ensure rapid response wherever operations are located.

“Our collaboration with AFORMIC represents a powerful alignment of strengths,” said Marc Kruse, Chief Commercial Officer at ACE. “With our engineering excellence and AFORMIC’s control system innovation, we are delivering a solution that redefines how businesses can automate and optimize their operations.”

Both companies will be exhibiting at Automate 2025 in Detroit, MI, from May 12–15, 2025, where they will showcase their AMR solutions and highlight the benefits of this strategic partnership. Attendees will have the opportunity to see firsthand how AFORMIC (Booth #6607) and ACE (Booth #2200) are reshaping the future of autonomous mobile robotics through collaboration and innovation.

This partnership is a testament to both organizations’ commitment to delivering innovative, intelligent, and scalable automation solutions. It lays a strong foundation for future collaboration in a rapidly evolving market, setting a new benchmark for excellence in AMR deployment and control.

Meet Qursor: The Heart of Intelligent Logistics

Driving every AFORMIC deployment is Qursor, a proprietary real-time fleet management system that connects all mobile units and coordinates their actions based on production priorities. Qursor leverages cutting-edge AI protocols and natural navigation technologies, enabling seamless integration with any Manufacturing Execution System (MES/ERP) or Warehouse Management System (WMS). It continuously analyzes the dynamic factory environment, monitors the task hierarchy assigned by higher-level systems, and adapts to sudden production demands. The result? Zero downtime and significantly enhanced operational efficiency.
