Fleet Operations & Integration

Operate the fleet before the hardware exists.

Benison's fleet-operations console talks to robots over rosbridge v2 — the same interface for a simulator, Gazebo, or a real ROS 2 robot. Validate operating workflows in simulation first, then point the same surface at live endpoints, with the security and ops hooks to actually run a fleet in production.

The Evidence

One surface, sim to real.

The console was implemented against simulation, Gazebo, and ROS 2 robot endpoints over one rosbridge interface — built and tested, not slideware.

The Console

Everything an operator needs to see.

A React + TypeScript surface that maps standard ROS 2 messages into the views a fleet operator works from — one console over rosbridge, sim or live.

Roster · Fleet map · Telemetry · Battery & health · Task state · Teleop — one surface over rosbridge, sim or live.

Our Approach

Benison's FleetOps Method

Stand the operating surface up in simulation, then connect the same workflow to real robots as hardware comes online.

The console speaks rosbridge v2 (WebSocket :9090) using standard ROS 2 topics and types.

  • nav_msgs/Odometry, sensor_msgs/BatteryState, status and task topics.
  • Per-robot namespace mapping.

Drive the full workflow against a simulator or Gazebo — no robot hardware required.

  • Same protocol and topic shape as production.
  • Catch workflow gaps before hardware is scarce.

Connect the same surface to TurtleBot, Jetson edge nodes, or your robots.

  • No console changes between sim and real.
  • Any ROS 2 namespace.

Add the hooks that make it production-grade.

  • Operator identity, command audit, permissions, SIEM events.
  • OTA, logs, cloud control plane, release automation, runbooks.

Below The Surface

A console is only as good as its observability.

Operators see clean views on top; underneath, the same eBPF depth behind our security and connectivity work gives the fleet evidence the application can’t.

Evidence below the app. eBPF ring-buffer telemetry and DDS-to-process attribution explain what a robot is actually doing — without disturbing the real-time path.

What You Own

The console and the integration.

A fleet-ops engagement leaves you owning the surface, the adapters, and the runbooks.

FleetOps Console

The React + TypeScript console source, working over rosbridge v2.

rosbridge Integration

Topic mappings, namespace handling, and message-type adapters.

Security Hooks

Operator identity, command audit, permissions, and SIEM event schema.

Ops Runbooks

OTA, logs, release automation, and the runbooks to operate the fleet.

Common Questions

The things engineering leaders actually ask.

Straight answers to the questions that decide whether we get a technical call.

Do we need robot hardware to start?

No. The console runs against a simulator or Gazebo over rosbridge first, so you can validate workflows before production hardware is available.

Will it connect to our robots?

Any ROS 2 endpoint reachable over rosbridge v2, on any namespace — the same surface that ran in simulation points at live robots with no rewrite.

Is it just a dashboard?

No. The console is the surface; the value is the integration layer beneath it — operator identity, command audit, SIEM events, OTA, logs, and runbooks.

Can we own it, or is it lock-in?

You own the React + TypeScript source, the rosbridge integration, and the ops hooks. It’s standard ROS 2 underneath.

Get Started

See the fleet before the hardware.

Start in simulation over rosbridge, then point the console at live robots — with the integration you own.
