debuginfo file A zip file downloaded from SetNetGo that contains detailed information
about the status of the system, used by Omron engineers for
troubleshooting.
dongle A small hardware device attached to an AMR core or an EM2100 appli-
ance that contains the credentials (license keys) required to run FLOW
Core software.

central location to manage maps and configurations, has a queuing
manager to match jobs to available robots, is a central point of com-
munication for integrating fleet robots, and coordinates fleet traffic.

ESD Castors Electrostatic Discharge castors provide a skin-to-chassis-to-wheel
grounding path that drains off any static charge the AMR might accu-
mulate during operation.
Ethernet A type of computer network used in local area networks (LANs). Typ-
ically uses a Category 5 (CAT5) or (CAT6) Ethernet cable; supports data
speeds up to 100 Mbps.
