Mobile transportation and assistance systems

For a consistent cooperation of humans and technology

They are the networkers of a smart plant. Our autonomous assistance systems connect the individual processes of production and assembly. They either have swarm intelligence, or they serve as mobile, intelligent, and ergonomic workbench. What they all have in common: they all are cyber-physical systems that contain all relevant data.

Our assistant systems

Our assistance systems can be used for various tasks and support many working steps: from material logistics, workpiece transport, as mobile workbench, component delivery, loading and unloading of machines, to transport of components in and outside of the factory
