Hive is an automated smart warehousing system. It is a framework for designing warehouses, simulating and monitoring their performance, and deploying them in real life using robotic mobile agents.
The system mainly consists of three components:
- Backend: the server having the core logic.
- Frontend: the graphical user interface.
- Hardware: the actual hardware robots.
The backend or the server is the core of the Hive system. It is responsible for the simulation and deployment of the warehouse automation system including handling refill and collect orders, order dispatching, multi-robot path planning, communication with the actual robots, communication with the frontend, and maintain their synchronization.
The frontend is the graphical interface for the user that provides design and simulation capabilities through a user-friendly tool.
The code of the frontend can be found here
The hardware are the actual robotic mobile agents that carry on tasks in the warehouse.
