New ISO standard enables mobile robots from different vendors to work together
Overview
The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has published ISO 21423:2026, an international standard defining communication and interoperability requirements for industrial mobile robots. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 299, this standard allows robots from various suppliers to exchange data such as location, speed, direction, condition, tasking, and availability within the same facility. By establishing a common protocol, the standard aims to reduce robot interference, improve system efficiency, and foster market competition. It also facilitates communication between robots, fleet managers, ERP tools, and industrial building systems like lifts and automated doors. The document is available for purchase through the A3 online store.
