DB Schenker is testing highly automated yard logistics system — Warehouse Automation
Summary
A teleoperated truck will be integrated into the day-to-day operations of a warehouse, Fernride said in a Nov. 15 press release. Fernrides teleoperation-first approach supports the integration of autonomous technologies into DB Schenkers logistics.According to Fernride, the step-by-step autonomy approach combines the advantages of human skills and automation in a concept that offers immediately tangible added value. Since the system is already being used by well-known customers, Fernride has a wide range of data sets that relate to operations in logistics hubs and edge cases. The solution via teleoperation can be developed customer-oriented and individually, while incrementally adding autonomous functions to improve the economics of each application area. The excellent performance of teleoperation enables the application of autonomous technologies in logistics by solving technological, legal and security challenges, said Paulina Banszerus, Head of Venture Capital at Schenker Ventures.In addition to capital, Schenker Ventures also gives the new portfolio company access to the resources of the parent company.
