FORVIA

Before the project has been initiated, the logistics on the shop floor relied mostly on manual processes, forklifts and stackers equipment, without any automation. As the matter of fact, a risk of human injuries or industrial diseases has been quite high, and the company decided to automate the most heavy and dangerous processes. The principal goal was to bring technology that increases both a level of safety and productivity. There was a number of other requirements, an important condition for selection of the right vendor was its global presence, as the automatization and digitalization project in Forvia runs over the world. Complexity of the autonomous technology was another convincing point, including wi-fi connectivity, independent mapping and fleet software, all providing big opportunities for automation.
