Bot repositions trailers at logistics terminals

From Superinnovators 02/01/24

French startup ex9, German electric yard truck manufacturer ANT and DHL France are piloting greater automation of operations at logistics terminals to boost efficiency and reduce emissions.

The startup are developing an integrated automation solution for logistics terminals which includes transforming ANT’s existing remote controlled yard truck into an autonomous bot for repositioning trailers.

The first two week pilot took place in Sept 2023 at Mitry Mory terminal close to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport and there are plans for a longer 2-month project as well as two further pilots in other locations in 2025.
