Product Description

openTCS is an open source, multiplatform and freely distributed graphical software designed to act as a Transportation Control System for controlling AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), as well as to steer almost any track-guided vehicle. The software is independent of the vehicle vendor or manufacturer.

It comprises an abstract kernel, which implements replaceable strategies and algorithms like scheduling of resources, computation of routes, and dispatching of orders to vehicles. Additionally, it contains pluggable vehicle drivers that can be used to implement communication protocols.

The graphical user interface (GUI front-end) allows you to create and visualize logical models of the areas where the vehicles are moving, making it easy to control automated guided vehicles or track-guided vehicles.

The program is written entirely in the Java programming language and utilizes Java Swing technology for the graphical user interface. It is distributed as both binary and source archives for deployment on all mainstream operating systems, making it versatile and convenient to use.

It supports all GNU/Linux systems, as well as Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. Tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms, openTCS ensures compatibility and reliability.
