VDA 5050 is not plug and play. Mixed fleets are harder than most expect. And humanoids are already being tested inside Siemens. In this Automation Awakenings episode, Matthias speaks with Christoph Zeltner, the Siemens expert driving SIMOVE and contributing directly to the VDA 5050 standards. You hear how Siemens manages multi-vendor AGV and AMR fleets, where the VDA 5050 spec still causes friction, and how humanoids enter industrial environments through real research projects. If you want a clear view of where mobile robotics is heading, this episode delivers the essentials without the hype.🔔 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights from the world of logistics automation!🧭 http://automation-a.com🧑‍💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/automation-awakenings🔉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NRKD0tb1qOwAvECNJi4HN---
